Right after my Korea trip, I jetted off to the neighbouring country Japan and was fortunate to travel all over the country including stopovers in Tokyo, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and Hakuba. So much food was consumed in my two and a half weeks there, including a small bout of food poisoning thanks to some raw chicken. But there is simply too much to recount, so here are the highlights of the trip which covers the classic dishes, the delicious treats and also the more unique foods:
In April, George’s Mediterranean Bar & Grill at King Street Wharf opened up their restaurant to 2012 My Kitchen Rules contestants, siblings Steve & Helen, who hosted a magnificent Greek feast! This was a four course meal featuring custom made dishes from Steve & Helen, along with some favourites off George’s menu, to celebrate the Greek Festival of Sydney, and it was definitely an unforgettable celebration.

A couple months I took a trip to South Korea and spent a couple days in Seoul. Firstly, it’s such a beautiful city which is constantly awake with lots of hot food, bright lights and shopping! But the temperature stays around an average of -10c in winter, so it’s no wonder chilli is a staple in their dishes. Over my short stay, I set out to explore a wide range of Korean foods but apologies in advance because there are very few restaurant names to the below as I often could not read the name!

Yume is a small chain of Japanese restaurants with their third and newest branch opening on the main Victoria Road in Gladesville. It is small, narrow and cosy with quirky wooden furnishings. I’m quite impressed by their menu after having a browse; it is very extensive with many options, has very affordable pricing and also has healthy options (brown rice and gluten free dishes) which will surely appeal to the increasingly health conscious foodie.

Ever since I had what was most possibly the best pies ever from Fergbaker in Queenstown, I thought I was doomed to ever find a product of similar quality within Sydney. That was until my friends introduced me to The Pie Tin, a small pie shop tucked away just off the main thoroughfare of Newtown, King Street.
