Cafe Ish, Surry Hills

My friend and I went to Cafe Ish today for brunch. My friend never came to Cafe Ish before and he is curious why Cafe Ish is very famous. I told him, I came to Cafe Ish for the crab soft shell, that's it :) No other places which I know serve crab soft shell for brunch. Cafe Ish also serves very interesting other menu such as emu egg, crocodile sausages, having 3 different salts, etc. I guess it's famous because of the unique menu.

This time, I didn't want to take any risks. I ordered benedict ish, crab soft shell with toast with hollandaise sauce (it was my order when I came to Cafe Ish first time, 2 years ago). My friend ordered veg ish, toast with mushroom, tofu and tomato. For drink, I have no choice so I go for wild chai although I don't really like it. My friend ordered mocha and apparently, it's not bad.

Chutney, Harris Park

This was my fourth coming to Chutney. It's one of many new Indian restaurants in Harris Park. Usually, if I went to Harris Park, I would go to Billu's. That day, I thought I wanted to try one of those new restaurants and decide to go to Chutney, next to Billu's. 


At first, I was a bit skeptical whether the food would be good. Guess what? This place served the best dosa that I ever tried in Sydney. I am not a big fan of dosa, but this place makes me want to eat dosa again and again :) My favourite will be mysore dosa; I never tried this dosa before in other places. The second best is rava dosa with paneer. It's not only about dosa; even the masala chai is one of the best. I don't know which tea that they use but it's very nice taste. I keep coming back to Chutney almost every week for dosa and masala chai. 


I guess another place which can compete with Chutney for dosa is the canteen at temple in Helensburgh. They serve awesome dosa too. According to my friend, it was special because they make the dosa like dosa on the street in India.
