October is Sydney’s Good Food Month. Mel and I, together with several of his work colleagues met in the city to celebrate this predominately Sydney event.
We had intended to visit an outdoor noodle market in Hyde Park [which only opens during this time of the year]. But due to the really sad wet weather. We were forced to change our plans and had dinner at Wagamama instead.
Wagamama is one of those Chinese /Japanese fusion funky food concept type restaurant, which [from experience] usually spells disaster. However, I have heard good things about their originated UK branch, so I was kind of looking forward to it.
The atmosphere of the lively open plan restaurant was good. They have a crew of very enthusiastic serving staff that if given the opportunity, will literally explain every single dish on the menu.
The food on the other hand, was a sad compilation of really average undecided Chinese / Japanese udon soups and funny chicken and beef rice dishes. It was pretty disappointing.
Thank goodness dessert at the Intercontinental was much better. As part of the celebrations for Good Food Month. Hotels in the city all ran promos for their top selling desserts for sampling at their lounge and cafes.
For $15, we had a selection of 3 desserts (the only one I could remember was the passion fruit panna cotta …yummm…) and a glass of dessert wine.
I am SO going to watch out for next year’s Good Food Month. And SOO going to stay clear of fusion restaurants.
