The Arrival Driving down Parramatta Road, it’s astonishing how quickly we travel from the city to the heart of Kowloon, Singapore, Tokyo, and Jakarta. Burwood’s vibrant eateries feel even more authentic than the CBD’s tired looking Chinatown. We struggle to find parking, passing several restaurants that tempt us for a visit. We haven’t been here...

Charlong, the Thai contemporary restaurant, not just fits this description, but epitomises it. Arriving, I can’t say I’m jumping for joy. At first glance, it seems pretty plain Jane and...
The Location A top tip is to “look for the gold Vespa” which can be found flashing her, Italian vibes round the corner from the Grace Hotel. There she is, a golden gilded Vespa looking like a scooter-esque Oscar trophy, as if we needed any more hint about what this restaurant is all about. The...

Not even a few of months in, she’s already proudly marked her territory. Rocking up for dinner, I’ve barely stepped foot in the door, and I’m already getting a boisterously fun...
The arrival “Hey darl… Where is this place, I can’t find it?”. I imagine this is how many-an-evening could start with one or more of your dining party getting a bit lost. Earlier, I went into the wrong building, with the wrong lifts, on the wrong floor till a stranger came to my rescue. There...
