I personally thank my Australian friends whom i have not seen as it is on a random online game forum.

and i personally do NOT advocate going out in the middle of the night to go pubbing, nosiree no. that would be bad, undisciplined, possibly unlawful, and we'd get ugly hangovers the next day UNLESS we drink a pint of water and eat a Panadol before we go to sleep.. yeps.
(p.s. stock up on panadols? yall think? i can't find how much they cost there. XP)

So. Cheers!

Must Try Food In Sydney!

I happened to come across this site (actually it's more of a blog) which lists in great detail the various restaurants in Sydney, from the CBD to Chinatown, from Darling Harbour to the beaches, from the North to the South, from the East to the West, this site provides information perfect for those keen on having the best delicacies in Sydney. Systematically listing and classifying the restaurants by location, the author of this blog does a fantastic job in introducing the must-try foods in Sydney.


One restaurant that caught my eye was the Pier 26 @ Darling Harbour. This restaurant serves a wide variety of dishes, like BBQ Prawn Skewers , but what really made me drool was the Beer Battered Fish & Chips, with tartar sauce and lemon.

Here's what the author had to say: "Fish and chips are similarly swoonworthy. The beer batter is light, airy and almost cloud-like in appearance. The fried is fried to a pale golden brown, in fresh oil which leaves no sticky residue. Chips are crunchy batons, the tartare sauce has the right among of zing."
