Truffle and quail cold ramen from Chaco Bar at Sydney. Braving an hour wait to enjoy the Monday night only ramen night, I got the cold ramen even though it was rather chilly outside.

The truffle and quail egg combination was definitely worth it! Exquisite smell and taste of umami from truffle in the soup! The novel addition of quail eggs and cold cut meats to ramen was a delight as well. And my all time favorite QQ noodles. This was well worth the 20AUD. I must say that beer was not a good pairing with ramen. And I wasn’t a fan of their gyoza sadly.. #latergram #sydney #coldramen #chacobarsydney

Pad Thai with wok hei! From the delicious local chain Chat Thai. All for just 12AUD, you get enough caramelised noodles and tender chicken to feed two.

Haven’t had this good a pad Thai for a long time! Went to the branch at Thai Town for lunch. Will be back again! #thaifood #sydney #latergram #drklingeats

Try the dulce de leche before it runs out!

@gelatomessina has another special this week that has the Mexican dessert in gelato form. It’s rather soft as a gelato, great for eating in cold weather like now so it doesn’t melt too quickly. If you like milk, this definitely is your choice for the week!

Ask for a taste if you’re not sure :) one scoop goes for 4.80aud, two scoops for 6.80aud and no extra cost for cones!! Tried out the Messina branch at newtown this week! Totally digging it. #latergram #sydney #gelato #drklingeats

Greek style gyros with fusion toppings from @birdandewe. This is a southern fried chicken style karaage cubes with lots of pickled Korean style vegetables.

I would say this a rather balanced meal, and good enough for two! A little difficult to handle because of the generosity of ingredients and lack of sitting area to properly make use of utensils, but just arm yourself with more napkins and the mess is definitely worried it!! Juicy meat and nice crunchy batter that is not too thick.

5⭐️😋 for flavor and execution! At the Carriageworks farmer’s market every Saturday (so far). A short wait of maybe 10 minutes. Definitely go for it if you’re there for groceries! #foodtruck #sydney #carriageworksfarmersmarket #bird&ewe #drklingeats #greekflatbreadfusion

Best burger I’ve had since the US.. from a popular chain @burgerproject was surprisingly very good!

Just simple cheese burger (10aud) with added bacon (2aud) and salted fries (3.90aud). The delicious melted cheese that coats the patty generously was definitely the key to my heart. The meat was tender and moist with good flavor. The fresh veggie with tomatoes and lettuce gave crisp texture to the burger. The bun was a little skinny for my liking but was nicely toasted and held well even with the runny cheese and patty. The fries had a good crisp and lots of potato.

Sparrow’s Mill has this motto “ICG - incredible chicken good”. The long queue and busy crowd raised my expecktations but sadly the chicken didn’t meat it.

My husband and I got a half chicken of Sniw cheese flavor. The cheese was fake powder and disappointingly flooded the relatively decent batter. Also the chicken meat was mostly dry, aside from the drum and wing. Overall, I’m not a fan and won’t come back to try the other flavors either. Definitely don’t bother with the snow cheese flavor. And the fact you can’t choose dark or white meat is a turn off for me as well. 2⭐️

Peanut party @gelatomessina

Special flavor so it’s already gone this week.. 5😋

candied peanuts in peanut gelato with chocolate chip. Love the peanut flavors at Gelato Messina. It’s not too sweet and I love how there’s good crunch in the gelato from the candied peanuts!! Cone also comes at no extra cost.

There’s no proper line at the circular quay branch, so just be sure to catch the eye of the servers, try your flavors quickly and make your order! One scoop at $4.80 and two for $6.80. Definitely my favorite in Sydney! #latergram #gelatomessina #sydney #drklingeats #gelato

Delicious pork dinosaur ribs from ribs and burger. Yes, it may be a chain but the ribs are so tender and perfectly charred that it doesn’t matter!

The sauce balances sweet and umami at just the right spot. This rack of ribs can comfortably feed two and comes along with fries (called chips in ozzy) or salad. Chips are simple and thick cut but a great companion to the ribs!

Would be interested to try the other sauce next time. #latergram #drklingeats #ribsandburgers #sydney

I was doubtful but now I’m sold! Brewtown Cronuts never go wrong!! Even ones with strawberry cream 🍓

brewtown newtown had only the cream or strawberry cronut when I visited after lunch so I went for the strawberry.

Love the layers and crisp in the cronut. And yay the strawberry cream wasn’t too sweet, added a nice touch of tartness to the cronut! Can’t wait to see my favorite salted caramel or Nutella ones.. #latergram #sydney #drklingeats #newtownbrewtown #cronut

First meal in my return to Sydney - black ramen. Just dark shoyu ramen at this hipster motorbike repair workshop/cafe called Riding Son workshop. Really loved the hip but chill atmosphere and design here. Great space.

Black ramen was 4⭐️ highlight was the creamy 62dc egg that coats the noodles nicely. The ingredients were excellent as well - pork was tender and fatty but not overwhelming; black fungus and bamboo shoots gave good texture. soup was filled with umami but not as rich as I was hoping for. Noodles were also not what I was looking for.

Definitely want to be back to try other items like Katsu burger. Below 20aud for lunch. #ramen #drklingeats #sydney #burpple

Can’t beat these salted egg yolk mochi balls. My favorite dessert in SG! Attack it while it’s warm, take a gentle bite and be careful of the rich delicious lava that will spill from within.

The delicious salted egg flavor and chewy mochi is the best combi!! The coconut sorbet is light and refreshing, and amazing with the cornflake and nut bits. I would recommend two balls per person, it’s rather huge and might be difficult for one to finish...

Affirmed by many friends I recommended, this is a unique dessert not to be missed!
