Having come to the realization that food establishments closed relatively early out in Sydney, I…read moredecided to attempt my search for a dessert spot with later hours out in Chatswood, which was just a ride away on the train. Thus I turned up Tiny Sweetie. I'm partial to Chinese dessert soups, so I was looking forward to our visit to this rather tiny shop. We lucked out as a table emptied shortly after our arrival just a bit after 9pm. My DC had done his own research and found out that Tiny Sweetie was known for their homemade glutinous rice balls. These would be made to order and so would take 20 minutes, but we decided that the wait would be okay since we would be sharing. We started with the Black Rice, Red Bean, with Taro & Coconut Milk $5.50 and the Steamed Egg Custard $4.50, as they worked on the Peanut Glutinous Rice Balls (6) in Ginger Soup $5. The dessert soup was nice, though the black rice a bit scant. The steamed egg was warming but lacking in smoothness, perhaps due to a bit of overcooking. Their rice balls were tasty and worth the wait. 3.5 stars.

Definitely called my mom that night :) Prices are incredibly cheap and the quality is pretty good but slightly on the watered-down side. I've tried the red bean cooler (a mountain of ice with red beans and evaporated milk) and almond tea with lotus seeds, both which were good. Super small space that fits roughly 20 inside and 6 outside. You'll find a range of customers, from the lone guy who needs a quick dessert break, to small groups who wanna grab dessert after an outing.

It is…read morejust across the street from the back door of the Sheraton Grand at Hyde Park...for very convenient for travelers. They do Dim Sum 9:00a - 3p most days. Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

Thinking about Peking Duck all night, we took a punt and head to Sunny Deafood Restaurant…read more Ordered Peking Duck 2 course, Oyster Mushroom with Chinese Broccoli and Pork Belly slow cooked in preserved veggie. Despite being a hectic night the food came out timely and the service was great. All dishes ordered today are great. The winner is the Peking Duck dishes, second one being San Choy Bow. The Pekung duck Pancake comes preassembled in half moon shape and taste really good. All ingredients are equally represented no wonder we finished it in no time. The second course being San Choy Bow is also devine. It's not overpowered with onion and garnished with water chestnut providing extra texture to the already well represented duck meat and duck skin. The pork belly is probably one of the best we had for a long time. Its so soft we hardly need any efforts to chew it. The preserved veggie is complemented with fresh bok choy providing the extra texture to this dish. The Oyster Mushroom and Chinese Broccoli is also very good. All ingredients are cut in prefect sizes making it effortless to enjoy. Can't really fail this dish.

What we ordered: - Hong Kong style salty fish and chicken fried rice - Old town pan-fried chicken and vegetable dumplings - BBQ 2 choice combo (roasted pork and char-grilled pork sausage) with steamed rice with chicken flavor - braised eggplant with pork mince (delish!!!) - duck tongue - HK coffee milk tea I found their online menu here (they don't seem to have a website): https://quandoo-assets-partner.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/partner/uploads/de32132f-d416-46f7-af73-72c85b958ec2/MD-document-dd37a228-999a-4f7a-85fb-f2ea5fa53e6a.pdf

#79 for 2021 My…read morecousin wanted to bring me to Barangaroo. She told me to meet her downstairs in the building she works and the restaurant was just outside in the same building. How convenient. She was working a half day to spend the rest with us. It was 2pm and I was starving. She was smart in choosing this time because we noticed it was very busy during the lunch rush. It still was when we got there but a table came up quickly for 3. The restaurant is pretty stylish and modern. The open air seating is very inviting in the middle of the Financial Disctrict. Even with the slight chill air it was nice to be under the sun. Service is not that great here but I could see they were trying. Our server was pleasant making conversation with us. When she found out we were visiting it seemed like she tried to make the whole experience a little better for us by being more attentive. I did peruse the 50 page menu to see what all they had. I wanted it all. The food smelled great. The menu was so intoxicating I told my cousin to order for us. I trusted her decisions. Helps that we like the same kinds of food. 3 dishes would be enough food but my cousin ordered 5 dishes. That's a lot of food. Crispy Pork and Roast Duck combo, Fried Rice, Fried Tofu, squid and Chinese Broccoli Being a Cantonese restaurant my cousin remembered that I would order Chinese Broccoli often here in California. She decided to do the same. Nicely cooked still retaining its' color with a semi natural sweet taste and a little snap. The fried rice is fried rice. Nothing to brag about but good. The tofu was deep fried with a spicy salt. Add nori to it I don't think was necessary but it was good combination. Just didn't like adding more salt to it. The squid too was deep fried with spicy salt. Delicious. Now the pièce de résistance was definitely the pork and duck combo. We're talking lechon quality pork. Very surprising to find that here in a Chinese restaurant because that's a Filipino dish. Combine that with roast duck that was cooked well. This is not the time to talk about how unhealthy this is. Let's just enjoy it for what it is. Two good meats basking in the afternoon glistening proudly and dripping juices of sweetness. Good food with good people. Besides, I was on vacation. Another good eats in Darling Harbour. I'm beginning to think I need to move here.
