There was lots of Asian choices including Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, Singaporean, and more. Gayle and I came here with our tour group and initially found Spice Alley to be overwhelming in terms of crowds and noise. But after sticking around, we settled in nicely, and found this urban street to be vibrant, fun, with great people watching, and great food at modest prices. Gayle and I both chose delicious street eats from Ginger & Spice, by Singapore chef Alex Lee, including one $10 special. We added a couple of beers from the nearby Spice Alley Bar, sat down at a table with our friends, and enjoyed the evening.

Stroll like a dandy down Dee Why promenade of a weekend morning and you'll see a few cafes with…read morezero people in them and one with all the people in them. Literally all of them, like some giant baby has been using them as toys and is jamming them all into one room of a huge Barbie play house for it's own infantile amusement. It doesn't make any sense, only, it totally does. The cafe is Seachange. and the reason it's so beloved by locals is three-fold: the servings are huge (no fleck of steak on a giant white plate here), they're happy to change absolutely anything on your order without any pissy whining or "No, the chef would kill me" type excuses, and the staff and management are unbelievably friendly. Wulf (sp?) made sure our group got a table inside to protect the little baby we had with us from the sun, and even though he was run off his feet stopped by the table a few times to drop jokes. I had the acai brekky bowl with banana and strawberry and bircher, at $15.90 it's the healthiest way to start the day while still feeling like you're eating ice cream. The Local with tons of bacon, eggs, and a potato rosti is also a winner, as is, oh, pretty much anything on the menu. When you're done, slop across the road and roll about on the beach like a walrus. Trust me, it's great.

Next thing..oh look...there's shrimp in the bowl too... I reiterated no shrimp to the waiter when I was ordering and they still messed it up. The waiters also have a habit of not looking up when they are making their way around as it took us a good twenty minutes to flash someone down for the bill at the end.

I failed to note down the location or name of this food court so during this visit in 2016, we were looking on all of the streets for this same place. After a few days of unsuccessful searching, I turned to the internet and finally found that this place had gone a renovation so what I remembered the place to look like was no longer. The new layout is even better with lots of seating and the food choices should be able to satisfy any hunger cravings. This place is only open during the weekdays and only for lunch. Make sure you go early enough to beat the massive noontime lunch crowd. One of the must do places on my visit to Sydney.

I've been here three times now. The first time I actually did not eat but everyone with me raved…read moreabout their food so I was really eager to get back there and enjoy it for myself. The second time we went there were four of us and we all shared a couple entrees and four mains. I also ordered some roti bread. The meals all came out at roughly the same time and were all delicious, but personally I thought the serving sizes were a bit smaller than most other thai restaurants. Usually I feel like sharing one dish with 4 people is not too difficult but I felt like these were smaller so we didn't get enough of each one. The roti never came with our food and after 5 minutes I asked about it. About 10 minutes later (and after we had nearly finished all our food) it still never arrived so I asked them to just cancel it. The third time we went there were four of us again. Similar to the last time the food was really good but serving sizes not as generous as other Thai. This time they brought out two of our mains and the other two did not come out until we had completely finished the first ones. We actually had to get up, walk inside and ask where our other two dishes were. While we were waiting one server came out and asked if we were finished to clear our plates, not realising we still were waiting on more food. Luckily we were all sharing, it would have been a shame for 2 people to eat their entire meal while the other two watched. They did apologise and said they were understaffed and while I can appreciate this, it should have been communicated to us beforehand and we still should not have had to go in to ask for our other 2 dishes after two had been completely finished. One great thing about this restaurant though is that if you check in on facebook you get a percentage off your meal although I don't know if this promotion is still running. While the food here is really tasty, the portions are on the small side and the service on two occasions has been substandard. I might give them another try since we live so close by but if service is bad again it may be three strikes and you're out.

I also reserve 4 and 5 star reviews for exceptional service with unforgettable dining experiences. The ambience is intimate but also noisy. I will say the coffee here and in Australia in general is some of the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered (2) espresso martinis, pancakes, and the sirloin steak breakfast with a side hashbrown. My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.

We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.
