One of the best things about Sydney

Without a doubt Sydney is a foodie heaven and I definitely took advantage of it these past two weeks. Now I just have to workout twice as hard!

First stop: the Burger joint in Darlinghurst.
Sherri wanted to try an Aussie burger since I have sung high praises of the burgers I have had here, so we went down to burger joint #3 in the Sydney Timeout best burger list. We both had the Aussie burger with beetroot, bacon and egg. It's not a bad burger and it's very reasonably priced with massive portions. Overall, good place for a burger, but I'd still prefer the Wagyu burger from Plan B.
Next we had to try a brownie and Central Baking Depot was on our way from the Sydney harbour to Darling harbour. This was also on Sydney's Timeout top 5 brownie list. I had the orange cheesecake chocolate brownie, nice and moist, and great flavours all throughout. The brownie portion is massive but no worries, I finished every crumb of it. My only excuse was that day we climbed the Sydney bridge
Sherri and I went down to Surry Hills and tried Holy Cow, an Indian restaurant that was highly rated at Eatability. Combined that with no corkage for BYO, it made it an easy choice. We had goat Madras which is interesting since I've never had goat before. It taste like lamb, quite gamey, but the curry definitely masked a lot of it. We also had pistashio chicken which is quite creamy. I personally preferred the goat despite the gamey-ness just because I don't like the creaminess of the other dish.

The last place I tried with Sherri is Fish on the Rocks. As the name implied it's at the Rocks which means that it had pre-theatre specials. For $45 you can have an entree, a main and a glass of wine. So I picked the tempura prawns with Thai spice sauce and the kingfish fillet with sauteed field mushrooms, English spinach and pureed pumpkin. The fish was very fresh and the prawns were perfect. (sorry about the dark pictures)
