The shopfront of Adriano Zumbo's Patisserie was so eye-catching that we missed the much more subtle and inconspicuous entrance for Momofuku Seiobo, which was just across the walkway. We bought 5 macarons for $2.5 each - 2x blackened vanilla, salted buttered popcorn, salted butter caramel, and annunziata chocolate (dark chocolate). The shopgirl said passionfruit was one of his best, but they weren't making them at the moment. We also bought a few pastries, which surprisingly weren't that expensive compared to others. Later we saw Adriano come in to the shop...

I finally got the opportunity to try a tuna steak! There was a popular stall selling yellowfin tuna steak but they didn't have any available. Our next option was to buy a steak from Peter's and get it cooked on-site. The tuna cost about $8 for 310g and the cost to cook them was $1.5 per 100g. This was probably cheaper than getting it from the other store. We bought some smoked eel (Japanese style) and fresh sashimi and seaweed salad from Claudio's. Claudio's only sold the sashimi...

For her breakfast, mum had some oyster mee sua and some warm soya bean milk. The broth for the noodles was very tasty. Unfortunately the serving was a bit small and there were only three oysters in the bowl.

This is the curry beef bun I bought last night. Not much filling - this was the section that had the most - and hardly any beef. There were maybe three tiny cubes inside.[gallery order="DESC" link="file" columns="2" ids="2846,2844"] Emperor's Garden Bakery 96-100 Hay Street Haymarket, NSW, 2000 (02) 9211 2135 http://www.emperorsgarden.com.au/Home.php ...

Walking around Harbourside I noticed a lot of the restaurants had dinner specials on, particularly early dinner specials. Olivo had a $35pp special which consisted of any entree, any main and a drink (including wine). Mum: - Entree: Homemade scallop and barramundi ravioli - Main: Lamb rump with feta, sun-dried tomatoes and oven-roasted potatoes Me: - Entree: Mussels with a tomato based-sauce - Main: Grain-fed eye fillet with sweet-potato mash [gallery order="DESC" link="file" columns="2" ids="2836,2838,2837,2835,2839"] I think I picked the better dish combination, though to be fair, mum only picked the lamb because she'd had the...
