A Spell Of Sydney

September 14-15, 2014

I constitute myself inwards Dubbo for move terminal weekend. This meant flight through Sydney, together with gave me an excuse to pass xvi sneaky hours at that topographic point on my agency dwelling menage earlier getting dorsum to my job. I arrived inwards fourth dimension for a 9pm dinner on Lord's Day together with had shrewdly stationed myself inside walking distance of Yulli's. Though their website says they're opened upwards 'til belatedly a waiter at nowadays informed me that they'd live on closing at 10pm.  No biggie.

The carte du jour at this vegetarian bar ever looks good, together with had me wishing for a veg*n crew to percentage with. As it was, I kept the beer battered haloumi skewers ($14.50) all to myself. Although typically salty, the cheese was unusually fluffy together with a piddling sweet, similar something from a fair. I liked the sourness of the accompanying pomegranate together with apple tree salsa, but the pomegranate's deadening colouring textile hinted that it was good out of season.

I had my oculus on the chocolate cheesecake for dessert, but no-one bothered to clear my plate away inwards the twenty minutes that I lingered. Having a vegetarian bar gave Sydney an border for a while, but at nowadays amongst Smith & Daughters inwards Melbourne there's no to a greater extent than FOMO for me.

On Mon I represent my fine art gallery catch roughly a sunny yum cha tiffin at Bodhi inwards the Park. Yum cha is likely some other repast ameliorate shared, but I did relish beingness beholden to no-one's tastes but my own. I made a mess of some tofu pockets stuffed amongst shredded vegetables, together with after noticed soul sensibly tipping the curry satay sauce into the pockets, instead of clumsily dipping the pockets into the saucer.

My biggest achievement was polishing off 3 rolls stuffed amongst mock prawns together with mashed potato, fried amongst a crackly toasted sesame top. There was no agency I could direct maintain on the BBQ buns or Peking mock duck dumplings that circulated shortly after. I finished upwards amongst some less than fresh pancakes filled amongst mango together with Tofutti cream cheese, non an sense I require to repeat. With a pot of dark-green tea, the neb came to $28 - a flake exorbitant, I thought, but a bloody gorgeous agency to pass slack-off Monday.
