Pancakes on the Rocks @ Sydney, Australia

Pancakes on the Rocks is one of the shop in Sydney where you can have your meal anytime of the day. Being a week in Sydney, I found out that there is not many shops open after 9.00pm. If you are looking for food at that time, then shop like Pancakes on the Rocks is the best option. The menu gives a wide range of pancakes, ribs and pizza. I had the coco berry and they were delicious. The pancakes portion is huge and can be easily share for two. Ice cream topping makes the pancakes taste even better.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Among the best hot chocolate tasted. Its sweet but taste so good. I ordered coco berry which is their famous menu. Coco berry pancakes taste good however it taste even better if without the coconut flakes. The coconut flakes was dry and probably milked).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Coco berry pancakes at AUD12.95, Devonshire pancakes at AUD6.95 and hot chocolate which they called as marshmallow cocoa at AUD3.50).


Pancakes on the Rocks open for 24 hours.


Beautifully done hot chocolate. Delicious.

Great brunch at Trio Cafe Bondi Beach @ Sydney, Australia

Located at Bondi beach, I came to Trio Cafe for brunch without knowing what to order. By looking at their menu, I want something simple but not too heavy. Boss eggs seems a good choice for me and I like the scrambled eggs with truffle oil. It's tasted so good. This restaurant also offers great view of Bondi beach if you sitting on the sidewalk or you can prefer to sit inside to enjoy your meal. Good food and friendly service.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The boss eggs that I ordered were delicious and great. San Daniele prosciutto taste great and good level of saltiness. Good combination of truffle oil, avocado and cured meat on this meal. Hot chocolate very rich and sweet. Excellent hot chocolate).
Price:4/10(Expensive. Boss eggs at AUD24.00 and hot chocolate at AUD4.50).

Huge ribs at Hurricane's Grill @ Sydney, Australia

Hurricane's Grill located in Darling Harbour is a famous restaurant in Harbourside shopping centre. The restaurant only opens at 12.00pm and by that time, you can see many people already queuing outside the restaurant. I visited there during lunch time and by 1.00pm, the restaurant were full. You can book online and they will hold the seat for you for 90 minutes. Do request for a seat nearby window for a stunning view of Sydney harbour. This is one of Australian favourites which one must try during visit to Sydney.

Taste:8/10(Good. The pork ribs is good but however the meat is not tender enough. The ribs didn't have the rich flavour and juiciness that I was expecting. The baked sweet potatoes were good as its sweet. The garlic prawn is good as well but it's pricey for small amount of prawn).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Full rack of pork ribs at AUD49.50 and garlic prawn at AUD19.00).



Garlic prawn appetizer. Cooked with garlic butter, olive oil and fresh garlic. Lots of garlic.

Wow, this is huge. Full rack of pork ribs.
