New Yorker Gourmet Burger( Dougie's grill)

Dougie's grill provides authentic Mediterranean Cuisine with specializing in providing Portuguese styled chicken. The franchise has been experiencing quite a success upon establishment for instance, their 'Aussie Burger' has been named one of the top ten burgers in Sydney by the Daily Telegraph. They have a lot of outlets in Sydney. Although I planned in trying out the famous 'Aussie Burger' due to their kitchen difficulties i was offered the New Yorker Gourmet Burger instead. And i was promised that i won't be disappointed, which was actually true.

The burger was made of Black Angus beef which was perfectly marinated with mustard and cheese dripping out of the bun but a special ingredient that lifted my test buds was their special New Yorker sauce which was spread all over the lightly toasted gourmet bun.    

Claypot Noodles @ Albee's Kitchen

Albee's Kitchen is a fairly well known Malaysian restaurant in Campsie, after hearing favourable reviews from a friend, I decided to try it out.

The dish in front of you is fried egg noodles in a thick broth cooked with chicken, prawns and some veggies. After all the hype that was built up before going to the restaurant, this particular dish was rather disappointing. The broth was pretty bland and the chicken was tad overcooked. Is it possible i picked the wrong dish to try since it wasn't their speciality? Or the simple fact that the dish doesn't suit my tastes since I'm more into spice,

I've heard their curry puffs and laksa are very nice, maybe i should try that next...

Stardust cafe

The Stardust café is located in the Rooty Hill RSL club and sells a range of foods such as burgers with chips, salads, pizza, sandwiches and many other dishes. One of the dishes they sell is the Chicken breast schnitzel burger (as seen in the image) and it was very delicious. The freshly cooked crisp bacon complements the crunchy but succulent hash brown and chicken breast, which is all placed in a soft but crisp bread. The burger also contains a creamy mayonnaise sauce and fresh lettuce that makes the dish more appetising. The burger is accompanied by crunchy golden chips that tastes good.          

Max Brenner

Max Brenner's chocolate crunch pizza consists of a thin pizza base, a rich milk chocolate sauce that makes your mouth water, soft marshmallows, nuts that are coated in chocolate and crisp cornflakes that adds an extra crunch to the dish. This sweet pizza is perfect for a family dessert or something that you could share amongst friends. The drink on the side is a cookies and cream shake that was refreshing and delicious, perfect for all chocolate lovers.

Din Tai Fung at Westfield Sydney CBS

Came here for a quick lunch, the first thing I can say is service is really fast! I am a massive fan of Din Tai Fun and I was hoping they would open more restaurants around Sydney. love the awesome xiao long bao, Dan Dan noodles and crispy chicken with rice. The xiao long bao is really good, soft, tender and juicy. The Dan Dan noodles and crispy chicken with rice are must have. It is spicy but also sweet.

The wait staff is generally friendly and helpful, which can be rare at Chinese restaurants. However, the price of the dishes is a little expensive.

               Nasai-Lemak with Curry Chicken (PappaRich)

Nasai-Lemak is an authentic Malaysian dish which is also the country's national dish.Although i had never been to Malaysia, i had the pleasure to taste this magnificent dish here, at Sydney. Out of the few Malaysian restaurants i have been to, PappaRich has the best Nasai-Lamak dish, 

Nasai-Lamak can be served in a variety of manners. PappaRich's Nasai-Lamak comes with aromatic coconut milk infused in steam rice served with curry chicken, fried anchovies, fried peanuts, hard boiled egg and their mouth-watering spicy sambal and cucumber slices. 

If you are planning to have a taste of Malaysia's National dish then you should obviously go to PappaRich and have this delicious dish.
