Thai Pothong, Newtown

Reiner was having his birthday, we decided to have dinner at Thai Pothong, one of my favourite Thai restaurant. The food are really good although a bit expensive. We were having Phuket Banquet menu. The only thing that I hate when eating out in Newtown is the carpark! Finding the carpark is almost impossible.

Baffi and Mo, Redfern

Another "vintage" style cafe in Sydney that I found. I always like this kind of cafe. The french toast is really good; chai latte was very tasty too. Apparently, they produce their own tea leaf for chai latte. The people were friendly too. I like the setting and interior a lot, very vintage and cosy. I will definately come back.

Cafe Mocha, Bandra - Mumbai

Yes, I was in Mumbai for holiday but food mission still continued :) My friend took me to this famous place, Cafe Mocha. This cafe is famous among celebrities and sometimes movies took place here too. Cafe Mocha is short distance from the hotel where I stayed, Taj Mahal (Bandra). I took auto-ricksaw with my friend and it was really fun. They even serve Hookah in other locations.

Atomic Espresso, Neutral Bay

My friend told me that there was a Japanese cafe in Neutral Bay that worth to try.  I woke up early on Sat (very hard ... ) for trying this cafe with friends. The food was interesting, different; breakfast with Japanese twist. People said the coffee is one of the best in town. I don't drink coffee unfortunately.

Cafe Cya, Sydney

Catching up with friends at Korean cafe in small lane, near Town Hall, George St on Friday night. I won't know this cafe if my my friend didn't tell me. The cafe is small but nice decorated with korean movie posters on the wall. I am not sure whether I should call this place a cafe or restaurant. It's more like a restaurant. The food was really good ... we stayed there for almost 3 hours, great fun :)

rice cake - my favourite Korean food, this one is good! It's hard to find a good one because sometimes when people don't know how to make it properly; it will taste plain.

Bang Bang Espresso Bar and Cafe, Surry Hills

I read the review about this cafe long time back and wanted to go ever since. Finally, I went to this cafe today with my friend from French class. It's a cute cafe, very nice big breakfast and the owner is very nice. I heard the coffee is really good though ... again unfortunately I don't drink coffee.

I went for Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with friends, very funny movie. As usual, after movie followed by going to Maya Sweet, it's regular. I literally go to Maya Sweet almost every week.

Kazbah, Balmain

On Sunday, we went to Kazbah for lunch, a suprise lunch for Vikrant and Megha before they are going to India for their marriage :) Megha's suprised face is priceless :) It was such a busy day ... although we have booked; they couldn't give the table to us on time because people still sat. I went here before with my other friends and ordered non-vegetarian baquet; there were so much food. We couldn't finish all. 

Everybody likes the food and because most of them are vegetarian; we ordered vegetarian baquet. This time, they run out most of the food; the amount of the food were not as many as when last time I came. The entree and dessert are same when you order vegetarian or non-vegetarian baquet; only the main menu are different. I still prefer my lamb tagine but the vegetarian tagine is not bad either.

Cafe Lounge, Surry Hills

I went to this cafe long time back and finally managed to come again after my facial treatment across the road. I like this place because of unique interior with old, vintage, mix-match furnitures. I remember the chai latte is one of the best and it's still good but unfortunately the french toast was over-cooked. This cafe is becoming cocktail bar at night. 

chai latte served in mix-match teapot set - very interesting
