Cafe Ish @ Surry Hill

I got unexpecting phone call from Tan at 4pm to check where to have dinner. There was no idea of any restuarant coming in my mind as I was extremely busy at work > <"

On the way back home, Cafe ish pop up in my mind as I have been reading reviews and commets of this cafe from many websites and bloggers. That was a good time to try.

We arrived around 6pm ( first table of course ), I ordered just water, Tan ordered Coke. But then waiter advised it was organic coke... Wooo Hooo Organic Coke - -"

I have a try, and couldnt find the differences but Tan has

( I'm not a big fan of Coke though )

Special Salad Silken Tofu with japanese dressing $7.00
It was really small serve, It would be a side dish instead.

Pork Rib with sweet sauce $19.00

Pork was tender and well cooked, but this dish was too sweet for me. I asked waiter whether there was Native pepper pork loin on roasted pumpkin with house made tomato relish ( as I have seen from bloggers ) But they took out of the menu. It was on last year T_T

Soft Shell Crab Omelette $22.00

It was a nice dish, soft shell crab and avocado salsa went well with the omelette. Also piquant relish on top was a good combination in a bite.

Soft shell crab was really :D

I was hearing a lot of good things about Cafe ish, and it is all about their coffee and their brunch. I went for dinner, it was not that impressive as I expected. There was not many choices to choose. Taste was average, not outstanding.

However, I will come back and try their coffee once again.

Guylian is one of place, she wanted to visit.

My Flat White $5.00

We were in the shop at Circular Quay, and sat inside due to weird weather out there, windy & raining.

Coffee was nice though.

Lemon Merringue $7.50

It was unusal for me to order Lemon Merringue Pie as I'm not a kinda sweet tougue. When I took a walk and looked around their sweets and it was only one catch my attendtion !!!

It wasn't that bad at all, I would say that was nice Lemon Merringue ( but I couldnt finish all merringue anyway, still too sweet for me )

Belgian Waffles with Asian sauce & cream $18.00

P'Maam ordered waffles. She said it was fine. Waffle was fluffy inside and crispy on the outside, went well with dark chocolate sauce.

Waffle come with Praline Ice cream

Hot Chocolate ( Dark ) $8.00
There was a cube of dark chocolate in the cup, then a jug of Chocolate. It was a huge serve ( 2 cups )

Overall is great, and good for a Chocolate Lover.

Makoto

Makoto is one of the best Sushi Train in Sydney for me, Delicious, Fresh and Tasty. If anyone of you think differrent, advise me then :D

Restuarant is always packed with customers waiting for Table, go earlier is better as they dont take any booking. If you dont want to wait, Take-away option is good (10% off)

Sushi / Grilled Eel
It is my favourite dish :D

I like having Sushi Train/Bar because I love watching they are cooking, rolling and serving freshly.

Califonia Hand Roll

It is a little pricey if compare to other Sushi Train around city, but it isn't going to stop me going there though.

Caramel Custard

Dessert doesnt hit me at all, It is just Okay.

Not as good as I've thought.

Green Tea Cheese Cake

Actually Tan wants to take his sister to have lunch. He calls me whether I wanna join as Makota is just 5 mins from my building.

*** Lucky me - Enjoy lunch here again ***

Happy Australia Day

Happy Australia Day !!!

It is my first time having a Blog ( I meant official one ), as I think I am too lazy to update anything in. I've been reading a lot, searching for info about food, restuarants, from bloggers. I've thought I should have where I can share my expereinces about food, where I go, what I see, to people out there.

Hope everyone will enjoy reading my blog, my cooking, my baking and my cats.

Löwenbräu Keller

Sometimes, you want to try something new !!! So do I.

I have Asian background, most of food are Asian. I like them though, but here is something different and worth to try

" Lowenbrau Keller"

The Löwenbräu Keller is Sydney's most well known, authentic Bavarian restaurant.

I'm not a beer lover and easily get drunk. But Beer here is not too strong at all. You will have to spend a lot if you want to get drunk with thier beer !!!

Home baked Pretzel

I order Sausages with Mashed Potato and Sauerkraut (Marinated Cabbage Cooked with Herbs, Spices and Bacon Speck)

Mashed Potato is the Winner !!!

Tan's dish is Crackling Roast Pork Belly with Löwenbräu Bier Sauce, Sautéed Potatoes & Red Cabbage.

Dessert is Mixed of everything But not good unfortunately T__T

It is not a kinda of Restuarant where I come that often. But agian, good to try something new.
