Who Works In The City And Whats Some Nice Places To Eat Out At?


Recommended Posts

I went to a place in the city last year for yum cha... dunno what it was called... but it was huge!! everytime i thought that was it, you kept walking and there was more rooms and more ppl !!

dunno what the food was like... i didn't eat...it was lunchtime after a hens night... i was not well.

(place we stayed at was pacific international apartments - it was out the back and across the road of there).

LOL @ Adam... Speak as though you have some Asian blood in you my friend ;)

Likewise I'm my own boss; so yeah wouldn't mind a nice "client" lunch :O Just like how I took 2 hours to get a haircut yesterday and brushed that off as a "client meeting"

Mmm.. funny how I came back looking totally different :dry:

hahaha Adam..... Golden Century (or is it golden harbour? cant remember, it's in the main strip of chinatown next to the big chinese gate things) doesn't have attitude for me any more 'cause I only go with my g/f and she's chinese, plus I usually sling them the odd gesture in chinese...

It sucks though, if you and your friends aren't chinese and don't speak chinese most chinese restaurants give you a bit of the cold shoulder.. I feel like punching them when they do that, it's so rude

I remember when my physics teacher at school came to class one day to tell us about his Yum Cha experienc...

I swear boys, there is the ASIAN line and the WHITE-FOLK line...

Yes, I know exactly what you mean... most of the time when we go Yum Cha there is no queue coz you just go straight to the manager :O So lucky we're family friends with the owners of the New Marigold :dry:

One time this woman comes up with her trolley and we're asking her about all the stuff on the top which we could see and she makes a big thing about not speaking english then as she pushed the trolley away I noticed some bowls of yellow wobbly on the bottom shelf and I whispered to my friends at the table, "What the f**k is that?"

She turns round right then and goes, "TAPIOCA PUDDING!"

Kel votes 1 for lunch at Sky Phoenix- sensational food.

For lovers of dumplings, you CAN'T go past Sea Bay on Pitt St (heading down towards Central- same block as word square). Doesn't look like too much from the outside, but the food is sensational, the owner is a sweeheart and the food is cheap.

You'll also get the best Chicken Noodle Chilli Soup from the takeaway in the arcade running near the Commonwealth Bank (same block as Sea Bay). Can't remember the name of the place but you'll pick it by the queues lining up in rush hour and the tables outside with people slurping from bowls!

Chicken burgers from Ogalo on Liverpool St also rock :turned:

sky phoenix is quite good. my friends parents own the place, and their daughter works there. i haven't really liked the food at marigold. i thought it was pretty ordinary to be honest.

there is some nice food down my way (circular quay). very nice japanes place Masuya on oconnel st. definately worth going to.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
