Azuma (Sydney)

We took a friend on a business trip to the original Azuma restaurant at Chifley Tower on Friday night. Conveniently located in the CBD and right opposite the hotel in which our friend was staying, the restaurant still provided the attentive service and had quite a few business diners that night.

The highlight food-wise was the stirred fried abalone and scallop which was perfectly complimented by the mushroom absorbing the sweetness of the seafood from the butter sauce. The tender pork belly was also excellent and went well with rice.

Azuma Cafe (Sydney)

I am recently introduced to the idea of having chiffon cake for an evening snack, over the usual ice-cream and chocolate fondant. Azuma Café, hidden within Sydney’s cinema area, provides a good deal of chiffon cake and hot beverage for under $9.

You will have a large choice of chiffon cakes to choose from, all with its own unique twist: original, black sesame, green tea, earl grey, cinnamon… The cakes are plain and light, without any added cream and decorations, accentuating its special twist. Go for the matcha (green tea) latte to further the added Asian twist.
