One of the best food courses in the CBD! When we visited Sydney in 2010, I recall going to this…read morereally good food court and there was so many choices, that I just had to get a little of everything. 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 highly recommend Food on Five Food Court. Being dependent on an electric wheelchair went I…read moreventure outdoors my choice of food venues is very limited, as accessability issues arise in most cafés and resturants are not very accessible for people with mobility problems, unless you are prepared to sit outside. However Food on Five foodcourt is like a paradise!! I love the place!! With a wide variety of food venues, it's open and spacious with great ambience. Food prices vary from high cost to low cost which means that most people will find a suitable price range for the choice of food. I have tried various dishes from the selection of food venues there and have found all of them very tasty and affordable. I love the diverscity of different people and their choice of food, and love to go there to relax and enjoy. So all you people out there with mobility issues please do come and enjoy this space.!!

From the street, it doesn't look like much. A generic, nondescript arcade in Sydney's CBD. Even if…read moreyou are bored enough to walk through it, it doesn't look like too much. There's a Japanese grocery store (which is actually pretty good, one of only a couple of Japanese grocery places in the CBD), a generic sushi joint, a Japanese fragrance place and a mobile phone shop. There's also an entrance to the Town Hall Woolworths at the end of the arcade, and ultimately Town Hall station. However, towards the end of the arcade there's some stairs leading to a basement level. Again, until you look down them, it doesn't seem like there's much down there. If you decide to decend the stairs, you are greeted with a crowded food court packed with office workers, mainly Asian. The food court is not huge, there's only seven stalls, all serving a different Asian cuisine. There's Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Nepalese and Burmese on offer, and it's all at bargain basement (excuse the pun) prices. The Malaysian stall has a lot of fans, but i'm sure the others are all good too. Nb: It's only open on weekdays (as it serves lunching office workers) for lunch.

"I've got almost everything except that little key To the…read moregateway of love" (Neil Young) Our tour group broke for lunch and just about everyone found their way to the Gateway Sydney food court. It has thirty-one tenants and the food choices there are amazing, particularly if you are a fan of international food. Korean, Thai, Chinese, Turkish, Japanese, Mexican, American, South African, Malaysian, French, Lebanese, Italian, Portuguese and Australian are all represented. There even is a McDonald's. It was big and very busy when we visited. After wandering around to check out our options, our lunch was some spring rolls and a Charcoal Chicken rice bowl (AU$18) from Mr. & Mrs. Pho. I LOVED my Rice Bowl. It was loaded with delicious chicken, and the rice, sauce, and vegetables were perfect. I strongly recommend the Gateway Food Court as a great spot to enjoy pretty much anything your palate calls for.

Either way, i liked the idea of having variety of things at one place. We tried many places and they were good. I really liked the Turkish Gözleme from Gozleme King.

What's that you said? You've got money to burn? A credit card that doesn't look worn out enough?…read moreThen get thee down to Westfield Sydney, a couple of swipes of that card and flash a couple hundo's around; and you'll be as good as new! And chances are, you'll have some fancy new threads to show off. There's always so much happening at Westfield Sydney. Buskers in the mall, a sale at Zara, a new line of watches at Tag Heuer, or a new pair of Connies has come out at Hype. Either way, you'll never be short of something to buy, or something to look at. It doesn't matter which end or side of town you work in, you're never far away from Westfield Sydney; even if it's just to join the stampeding herds in the food court under Myer. Being a shopaholic, I could burn up a fortnights pay here in one go; and just keep rambling around until my bank card ran away screaming, or the bank just gave me the big thumbs down. Some may find the way the interior's decorated a tad too shiny, but I think that adds to the opulent atmosphere that you should expect from a shopping centre towards the upper-end of the spectrum. Be warned that you may spend sometime finding what you're after; but once you have, all will be right with the world... that's while your left trying to work out which arm to carry that extra bag on.

It was located near the north end of Hyde Park at the NW intersection of Market St and Castlereagh St. It was easy to spot from far away with the Sydney Tower Eye. The mall was huge where you can easily get lost inside. Thankfully, they had good signage at the escalators. Just from a little bit of window-shopping, there were plenty of high-end stores. You can go up the Sydney Tower Eye from the 5th floor. There were restaurants on several floors. I ate at Yayoi up on the 6th floor.

I have shop owners trying to lure me over and there was one case where I got pulled by the elbow to buy some rice paper rolls lol. But in terms of quality its average. The Korean place a little down the right as you come up the escalators is ok and the Japanese outlets passable, but the rest is pretty standard asian foodcourt fare. During weekday midday the place is full of office workers looking for a cheap and quick lunch. But the trouble begins after lunch, well in my case most of the time. I've had food poisoning a couple of times and a lot of the time my stomach doesn't feel very settled due to the MSG. Also I saw a news story about a year ago which made my stomach turn. Inspectors caught 2 places which didn't have adequate hygiene. Lets just say there were things crawling around and they were selling old food. Ewww. I haven't been back since and my stomach has felt much, much better :)

Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place during a severe recession. How? The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen - stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists - in a worthwhile project. The Stained Glass The visual message of Sydney's coat of arms on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship - trade, and the dolphins - the harbor. Panel 1 (on the left-hand side) represents the Council of the City of Sydney and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B., on panel 3 (on the right), represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB in 2009. The symbols are of property developers - the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building, and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. The Queen's Secret Letter There is a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney, to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. The Queen Victoria Statue Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria's statue. My experience: This is the second time I have visited this building and on the second time, I found even more hidden historical things of note. It's a remarkable way to feel like you've stepped back in time, whether that's through shopping or through grabbing a coffee or tea and sitting in the atrium, taking it all in. TIP: Go to Haight's for some chocolate!
