Reuben Hills

Surry Hills is one of my favourite places in Sydney,

definitely one of the best places to go for food. 

There are heaps of nice cafes & restaurants, bars and shops here. 

Have heard a lot about this cafe - Reuben Hills,

finally had the chance to visit this place. 

We reached around 10.45am, 

waited for around 15 minutes for a table. 

Told them we wanted a table for four,

but maybe because our friends weren't there yet

they only gave us a table for two.

When we asked them to switch us to a bigger table, 

they said they had to put us back on the waiting list. 

Wasn't very happy with that.

A few customers sitting at the table beside us left,

so at least we got a table. 

Initially I wanted to order the baked eggs, 

but they couldn't add chorizo into that,

and I really wanted something with Chorizo,

so I ordered the Chorizo Grits.

It came with baked corn tortilla chips, queso fresco, beans & avo.

It wasn't something fancy,

but I liked it.

But in Jeff's opinion,

he had much better dishes similar to this,

and it was way much cheaper.

This costed me $18. 

The skim latte was pretty good, 

I was happy with this,

but it was $4.80,

which is quite pricey compared to other places.

Maybe because today is Good Friday (public holiday surcharge?) 

Jeff had the Really fucking great Fried Chicken with chilli in a basket.

He couldn't look past the name so he ordered this. 

But it was really just a few pieces of fried chicken with two different dips,

nothing fancy or special.

Popcorn chicken taste so much better in my opinion.

I thought it would be better if they served this with at least some chips or salad.

This was $18,

quite expensive to me.

I thought this place was a little overrated. 

The food wasn't something to wow about,

the service wasn't exactly that good,

the portion was quite small,

and the price of the food wasn't cheap.

Don't think I will go back to this place any time soon.

Ippudo Sydney

Many friends of mine have been telling me about Ippudo,

Hence I decided to visit the restaurant. 

I went there around 6.30pm as I didn't want to queue.

Many people told me about the super long line to get into Ippudo. 

but surprisingly there wasn't any queue when I went,

maybe because it was a Tuesday night.

 IPPUDO pork bun

I like it but I think I would like it even more if the sauce is a bit thicker. 

One was not enough for me, 

I wanted another one!

The bun, the pork and the sauce complemented each other very well.

This is definitely something that I will eat again when I go back to Ippudo. 

Shiromaru Motoaji

IPPUDO original tonkotsu broth served with thin noodles, pork loin, cabbage, black mushroom & shallots. 

Classic Hakka-style ramen.

OMG you won't believe how good the ramen was.

I love ramen but I never once finished the soup of my ramen before. 

But this time I manage to finish everything including the soup. 

The soup was so tasty, not too salty and rich at the same time.
