		<title>Duk Bok Gi Success at Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eric and I were first introduced to Duk Bok Gi by a Korean friend in Pittsburgh. The dish is made with thick rice noodles and a chilli sauce. It is apparently considered more of a street vendor type of food in Korea, meant to be eaten on a cold day. A local Pittsburgh restaurant offered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Haymarket Chinese Restaurant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were wandering around this afternoon (yet another rainy afternoon in Sydney) and tried to go to one of our favourite Korean places. It was closed (I guess we usually go on Saturday). We decided to walk a little further into Chinatown and grab lunch at another old favourite we knew would be open &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iwa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been rainy and cold in Sydney for the last few weeks, and especially this week. Angela&#8217;s colleague was having a small soirée to welcome a new addition to the office and celebrate the birthday of another. So I hiked it up to Chatswood after work and met Angela outside her office. We had decided [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ramen Kan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When one thinks of a &#8220;hole in the wall&#8221; restaurant, it is often with a fondness for a simple (or extremely basic) atmosphere complementing great food that belies the setting. Ramen Kan in Haymarket is more literally a hole in the wall. Not the restaurant itself, actually, but the entrance. If you don&#8217;t know what [...]]]></description>

		<title>BenBu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BenBu is one of those best kept secret places that isn&#8217;t so secret. Although no one seems to know about it, it is always filled with diners from all walks of life. Our last visit had an older artist set up near the window while he sketched patrons onto gessoed canvases. He was a bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pork Roast &amp; Arroz Con Pollo, Cuban Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have benefited from growing up in Tampa by being exposed to wonderful Cuban cuisine. It has been a great treat to be able to share this with friends from time to time. And since we had some time, we invited some friends over for a dinner party with a Cuban inspired meal. 
It&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Noodle Bar at David Jones Food Hall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have always looked longingly over at the noodle bar in the David Jones food hall, and the long queue ever waiting for an empty seat at the counter. Today we finally had our day.

Fellow patrons ordering and eating at the Noodle Bar
For our friends back in the US, David Jones is a department store [...]]]></description>

		<title>Le Pelican</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was Eric&#8217;s birthday last week, so we used this as an opportunity to try out a new restaurant. Since we did a gorgeous French meal last year at Tabou, I decided to take up the French theme once again and made a booking for a newish restaurant in an elegant sandstone block building just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuyvesant&#8217;s House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We visited Stuyvesant&#8217;s House in Crow&#8217;s Nest on Monday night with two of my coworkers and their partners. I&#8217;m always up for some German fare, so we were willing to take a chance on a new place. The restaurant was big on &#8220;theme&#8221;. Walking through the door, you knew instantly that you were in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ravesi&#8217;s (and a Sean&#8217;s Panaroma teaser&#8230;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bondi is the home of many popular restuarants, and Ravesi&#8217;s is no exception. 
A poorly communicated brunch rendezvous left our friends and us on location with nowhere to eat. Our original intent was to meet at the somewhat exclusive Sean&#8217;s Panaroma.  (Exclusive in the sense that bookings have to be made 3 weeks out, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chinta Ria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an interesting Malaysian restaurant called Chinta Ria. Notable mostly for it ambience than for it&#8217;s cuisine, it is none the less a good experience in both food and setting. We had a tough time finding it based on the address alone and it was only through some diligence and chance that we accidentally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nihonbashi Zen (Melbourne)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago on business and I found myself wandering the downtown area in the early evening. A few of you may know that I really hate eating at a restaurant alone. &#8220;Loser&#8221; is one thought that pops into mind, as well as the fact that I don&#8217;t know what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prague</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, not the city, but rather the restaurant in Kings Cross, Sydney. Angela and I were down in Darlinghurst on Saturday and remembered that there was a Czech Beer Restaurant in the neighborhood. Since we were incredibly peckish, it seemed like as good a place to try and get some tucker as any.
Prague is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nón Lá</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night we had an early dinner at a favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood called Nón Lá, which, we were told, refers to the cone-shaped reed hat common to traditional Vietnamese dress. This place is unassuming but fantastic. Not quite a hole-in-the-wall, but tiny, and almost always packed. In fact, you&#8217;d easily miss it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Dinner 2005 at the Rex-Livingston Gallery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sixteen of us gathered at Manuel and David&#8217;s for dinner yesterday. We arrived around 1pm and enjoyed bubbly and conversation upstairs until everyone was assembled, and then repaired downstairs to the back gallery for hors d&#8217;oeuvres and more champagne.

Angela and Manuel
There were prawns and oysters, platters of cheese, and of course more champagne, and David [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food by any other name&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;should taste as sweet. But it isn&#8217;t always that easy.

Food shopping here in Sydney is definitely a new experience. Like most large cities, grocery stores are tight on space. There aren&#8217;t the big suburban shopping stores they have in the States. One would think that this would be pretty much just relegated to the downtown [...]]]></description>
