Harry, Goose and I decided we wanted to go out to dinner to somewhere a bit different, and so my boss suggested going to a dim sim Thai restaurant called the Chef's Gallery on George Street. The restaurant has it's name because all down one side is literally a 'gallery' looking into the kitchen and you can sit and watch the chefs make your noodles. It's a bit like watching a fish tank, but pretty interesting to see them doing their thing! Who knew that noodles were made that way!?
Harry being annoying and standing in the way...
We spent ages looking through the menu and trying to decide what to have, in the end chosing to share a dim sim sampling platter between the three of us, and then Harry and I went for duck noodles, and Goose chose pork noodles. The dim sim arrived in a little bamboo basket and sadly we snaffled them up pretty quick and I didn't get a chance to take a photo....
This is what they looked like though...
Check out the menu, it's amazing: http://www.chefsgallery.com/pdf/menu-dinner.pdf
After our mains we decided to try one of the deserts and we chose these little sesame bun which were shaped like piggies! When they arrived at our table we got totally over excited and took hundred of photos. They were pretty outrageously adorable for a desert though, you gotta admit...
Piggies!
Well, at least we thought they were cute, until we opened them up and THIS happened...
It looks disgusting but it tasted like chocolatey peanut butter and was delish. Shame about the pig poo connotations though....
Afterwards we went for a walk around the city and Goose and Harry, the children, found some balloons...
They were actually having a good time, promise.
Sydney is surprisingly lively at night, not taking into account your normal club/bar lot, but I guess the summer season is beginning and the weather is getting warmer so from here on in it's going to be rammed with tourists. All the shops will stay open later and at the weekends it's going to be a pretty crazy place to be.
Harry's back off to the Hunter Valley in the morning but I'll see him again in two weeks for more fun restaurant/bar adventures. We're going to make it a fortnightly thing to go and explore what Sydney has to offer. Watch this space!
