that's a shame - sure is... perhaps if he stopped posing for the media and got back in the kitchen things would improve. the big communal table has also gone.what's egalitarian chinese?chinese food that is served to people regardless of whether they are asian or not. my so called "western" taste of chinese was developed by my mother who cooked and taught chinese cooking after doing courses while we lived (and my dad worked) in asia. according to his colleagues her siu mai, and gyoza are amazing and their wives don't even cook them but buy frozen. her wonton are sensational and her glazed bbq pork is yet to be challenged.what did you eat in bbq king that was so horrible?bbq pork - it was dry and chewy and stringy and had to have been at least 2 days old. my point is really that they are inconsistent and treat people very differently depending on (a) race, (b) a guestimation of their apparently wealth, and (c) any publicity they might be able to glean from who eats there. i go to emperor garden on thomas street for bbq items.is blue eyed dragon nouvelle taiwanese?look at the menu and decide for yourself. opened at least 18 months ago in pyrmont. they also opened grain tea rice noodle but this has been sold on now.as for billy kwong? hmmm, average in my books i'm afraid....but then that could be my asian tastebuds.better than the cr@p they dish up to westerners at bbq king.you really like aria and quay? the last time i was there didn't think much of either of these restaurants.aria and quay are "food with a view" and much more palatable than cafe sydney (which i agree has a great view but not much else).as you say "after all you are paying for the view and not the food" but i'd at least like to get some vfm on the food as well.food elitists such as yourself hullo? elitist? i am more likely to be found hoeing down a pie, dumplings from cho, laksa from to, a banh minh hong ha, rendang and kangkung cha terasi at ratu sari (the new one), or a burger with a schooey at the local pub.the comments i made related to the questions and feedback above, not to my personal tastes. i love a decadent feed, but few can afford to do that regularly in this city.and are you nuts?no, just informed. maybe its your asian tastes, but harry's cafe de wheels is about the pies; it's a tradition.on a final note, i find your reverse racism remarkable. last thursday kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post looking for restaurants in sydney sydney's restaurant scene is as much about fashion as it is about food, and i think you will find that 3 years is a long time in the restaurant game.i have added a few corrections below:billy liks - i think you mean jimmy likswokpool - shut down years ago. i can't even remember when. rock pool, rocket and any of the other incarnations in potts point are long forgottenrockpool - is about to close its doors and re-open as more lighthearted brasserie farebarbecue king - is hit and miss; i have been there and had great food, and been there and had the worst chinese food in my life. sydney chefs and asian people get preferential treatment.for good egalitarian chinese try blue eye dragon (billed as taiwanese) or billy kwong.for korean barbecue, there is a big korean community in campsie - also in strathfield.harry’s café de wheels – harry's is about the pies. a tiger pie specifically. hannahs cafe de wheels is beside the powerhouse museum but no view.becasse moved from surry hills to cbdfood with a viewcafé sydney – has very ordinary and overpriced food, you pay for the view.summit restaurant – terrible. now owned by a catering consortiumdoyles by the quay – terrible - go to pier in woolahra/rose bay insteadugh!!! give me a break. on the waterfront or views the restaurants to go to are icebergs at bondi, pilu at freshwater, aria at circular quay, or quay at the overseas passenger terminal.breakfastpetite la crème – fabulous french breakfast place in darlinghurstbills – has gone off the boilthe current breakfasts to try are at danks st depot, bird cow fish and apparently kells kitchen in darlinghurst has opened in the old salt restaurant with a mandate on good brekky.winesuggest you get a little guide to the areas (wine producing areas increase by the year) but the top few that spring to mind are:hunter valley (nsw) this includes pokolbin which is not in adelaide - good semillion, lots of new verdehlos.coonawarra and barossa valley, sa - big on the cabsmargaret river, wayarra valley, vicgreat western, victasmania - cold climate wines like pinot noir, and sband the southern tablelands of nsw such as orange, cowra (lark's hill springs to midn.) last wednesday kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post chocolate in sydney (or perhaps wider) how long ago are you talking about re ristorante riva and was that at all associated with the bar/club?i was underage in the heady days of the club, but when john and (wife whose name escapes me) left there, they went to lane cove oddly enough and opened clausar in a site that always struggled and it was fantastic. to begin with pastas started at $5.5 a serve. slowly they gained credibility, prices went up, they shifted across the plaza to a swankier fit out and it was still all great until...they sold it to some fools who ruined it within minutes; these same fools then went on to by lunch at castlecrag and destroyed that too. lord knows how hard it is to get a decent feed if stuck on the north snore!!!i digress... last wednesday kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post chocolate in sydney (or perhaps wider) and if anyone wants to know, the old oh calcutta! chef is now at delhi oh delhi on erskineville rd just off king st last tuesday kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post moving to sydney. best place to live? unfortunately though, double bay would not be convenient for getting to parramatta if you are working regular office hoursi can understand the attraction for an expat of double bay, however ...rpm where have you gone? last tuesday kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post baumkuchen in sydney baum = treebutter = butterthey are very different types of cake i believe monday, october 15 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post baumkuchen in sydney and back from the german herself..."butterkuchen (fairly flat, baked on a tray / meaning butter cake) isvery different to baumkuchen (upright, tree (baum) shaped, verydifficult to make as you need to bake each layer wound around a stickin the middle / therefore cake is hollow in the middle.butterkuchen you may find at luneburger bakery in arcade under townhall / qvb. baumkuchen / which i love / i have unfortunately not comeacross in sydney!" monday, october 15 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post kid friendly places in sydney? that's a massive walk!!!there is a ferry to balmoral but it might be weekends only. the zoo is an excellent idea if you are into those things.and the harbour is dazzling at this time of year! monday, october 15 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post baumkuchen in sydney there isn't a great deal of german faire in sydney. adelaide would be a better bet.i have enlisted a german friend for help. are you prepared to bake it?suggest you have a post on taste.com.au - there are a few german members on there.in the meantime a quick google finds the following german bakerieshttp://www.bluemoonbakery.com.au/?id=8http://www.luneburger.com.au/?page=ba...or perhaps someone at the goethe institute can help you http://www.goethe.de/ins/au/syd/enind... monday, october 15 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post kid friendly places in sydney? hardly "family" restaurants per se, but early sittings at longrain (thai) http://longrain.com.au/ and billy kwong (chinese) (no website) would be fun.a previous post on this topic suggests nove at finger wharf - italian food, with sydney atmosphere.definitely have a pie at harry's cafe de wheels at wooloomooloo just beside the finger wharf. you could go to the markets for fish & chips (day time) for atmosphere or go to balmoral, dee why for something better. even better still, hire a car and drive to patonga for the real deal.breakfast at bathers pavillion at balmoral is nice, followed by a (inner harbour) beach side stroll.a ferry to manly to see the harbour with yum cha for lunch at manly phoenix makes for a good day trip.i'm rambling a bit as i don't have kids, but imagine kids this age need to be engaged, and so i have tried to list places of interest and/or activity. excepting the very top end (and even they might be ok) are relatively family friendly as long as your kids are well behaved and eat off the menu; earlier sittings are best of course. sunday, october 14 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post real foodie advice for sydney all good points jellyface, especially on the fashionable rather than good. some of our "hit" restaurants i find a bit more of a "miss" and oscillate wildly fits into that category - after my experience at oscillate wildly i find it perplexing it gets the reviews it does; i think i can cook better at home.finger wharf is definitely about the atmosphere, and bearing in mind your not-so-foody friends it could be good as the food is pretty straight forward.i love pier too, but bear in mind that it's first focus is seafood. sunday, october 14 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post travel to a land of no tipping. they are. because the base wages are generally higher. tipping in the us is a way to provide "performance based" wages where the user pays.here in australia, tipping is fairly commonplace now, but it is not an expectation - a reward for good service - 10% of the bill or a few gold coins...it's also a bit of a game. give a lousy tip anmd it's the equivalent of a slap in the face (e.g. 5c or a quarter)what you end up with tho', which is different to the usa is a culture of apathy to service in lower end restaurants, attitude in middle establishments, and then top end restaurants will pay more than award wages for good staff at times to ensure that they get what they want... then again the higher end restaurant the higher the tip as a raw dollar figure owing to % of the bill. right?

firestick cafe tuesday, september 18 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post asian food sydney cbd hot off the press:http://www.smh.com.au/news/good-livin... thursday, september 13 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post airport food my best ever airport meal memory is chicago; there used to be a mexican place under one of the 5 star hotels (hilton?) and my dad took us there once when we had a few hours to wait for a connecting flight.it stands out in my memory to this day - not so much the food, but the whole experience of going underground to a place for a proper meal and still being inside an airport.era 1989... thursday, september 13 kmh in general chowhounding topics chowhound post asian food sydney cbd plenty of everything in sydney and inner suburbs. by your q it's not clear whether you are talking lunch or dinner and what time frames you would have. whilst lots is available in the inner city there are also certain suburbs that have strong concentrations of specific ethnicity. e.g. bankstown/cabramatta for vietnamese.indonesian: in town, indonesian tends to get lumped in with malaysian/singaporean places.indonesian food is strongest in randwick-kingsford owing to the huge (foreign) student population at unsw.ratu sari @ kingsford is in my humble opinion one of the best indonesian places in sydney - it's only a short trip on bus out of the city (just past unsw)other popular indo haunts include jimbaran (randwick, a little pricey for indo food)hunt around chinatown and you might find some good indo' but can't think of anything specific right now.korean:korean food is abundant in strathfield where there is a huge korean populationn - about 15min on a limited stops train.there are plenty of korean bbq in chinatown also.often you will find that korean & japanese get tangled in australia, and that a japanese restaurant run by koreans can be rather korean...malaysian/singaporean:get on the train and zip over to north sydney for sydney's best malaysian at to's, downstairs at 181 miller street, north sydney - irene & to have been serving up sydney's best laksa for years there, and also good char hor fun, assam laksa, etc. i prefer to go there on saturdays when it's malaysian families eating there - weekdays is suits in a hurrymalay chinese take away in hunter street (cbd) is popular and very good, again laksa is there specialty, this one is more curry and less subtle than to's.chinta ria is far less authentic that either of the above, however the 2 above are lunch/hawker style only, so if you are after dinner you might want to try chinta ria cockle bay not darling harbour) or alternately you could try the malaya at king street wharf (cockle bay vicinity also). both of these will be more expensive and touristy than the street food above.singapore heritage restaurant recently got poor reviews (great ambience but lacking in flavour). can't vouch for that either way.vietnamese:indochine in st james arcade, pho shop st james arcade, 111 pitt st (just north of the entrance to david jones on pitt street);xic lo @ sydney 215a thomas street (china town end of cbd) - my brother swears by it; andred roll @ world square: "excellent. quick, cheap lunch, traditional vietnamese bread shop chicken and pork rolls done in a clean open and fresh way. also has warm tuna rolls, beef rolls, pork meatball rolls and a vegetarian roll.";red lantern on crown street, surry hills always gets a good review for dinner, and thanh binh as previously mentioned is also a good one (sister of the original in bankstown)finally, you have hit heavy on the seasian cuisines with no mention of thai which sydney does in abundance (although most of it not very good). for authenticity try spice i am, 90 wentworth ave surry hillssailors thai canteen and sailors thai (once opened by david thompson, thai chef extraordinaire) are in the rocks.and for a glitzy night out try longrain (martin boetz was david thompson's prodige), although better in a group b/c the servings are huge and you will want to try everything.sumalee thai at the bank hotel in newtoon is also popular. wednesday, september 12 kmh in australia/new zealand chowhound post amsterdam, leiden, brussels, antwerp - birthdayday trip, help needed it's been a few years now. i would have thought a canal tour, some rasberry beer and if it's the right season moules & frites sunday, september 9 kmh in international chowhound post amsterdam, leiden, brussels, antwerp - birthdayday trip, help needed a day trip to brugge?
