Tony Roma's (Sydney)

We were craving for some tangy barbeque sauce after a long day at work. So off we went to Tony Roma’s near the Sydney CBD, hoping for a nice rack of ribs.

The dining room was very quiet on a Tuesday night. We ordered the big onion loaf which was ok. The lamb ribs were nice and juicy but the supposedly signature pork ribs were rather dry. The portion size was rather big so we left the place rather satisfied.

(just saved from 1 star by the friendly service)

Quarter Twenty One (Sydney)

I went to Becasse for last year’s Let’s Do Lunch at its old Clarence Street site. Since then it has moved to the new Westfield shopping mall with a more casual Quarter Twenty One spin off. So that’s where we went to for this year’s Let’s Do Lunch.

The slow-cooked short rib of beef was extremely tender; almost melt in your mouth. It was complimented well by the spring vegetable ragout and fondant potato. We shared a raspberry soufflé for dessert which, along with the light humoured service staff, made a satisfying lunch.

Home Thai Restaurant (Sydney)

We craved for some spicy food on a rainy night last week. So we headed to Home Thai restaurant at Haymarket after work which is within walking distance from the CBD.

Seating in the restaurant was very tight and not very comfortable. And the pace of service was very quick in order to accommodate the long queue of diners outside.

The food was certainly excellent. Pad Thai and Duck Curry were very spicy but flavourful. Do go for the fried donut dipped in a sweet condensed milk and pandan sauce if you have extra room at the end.
