Beautiful Bondi beach @ Sydney, Australia

Bondi is very well known that I think some people will be disappointed when they discover it is 'just a beach'. It's a suburban beach. There are nicer beaches elsewhere but this beach is close to Sydney city and you can hear the strong waves sound which can be quite impressive. It's a trendy place which might not be apparent to some visitors. Try to relax and people watch. The best thing is the beach having free wifi access. You can relax surfing the net which enjoying the peacefulness of waves and breezy wind. Since I am not a beach person, but I find it quite a relaxing place! At the edge of Bondi beach, you will pass by & be amazed on some of great architectural houses in Bondi area.

Cafe Sydney - Excellent king salmon @ Circular Quay, Sydney

Cafe Sydney located at fifth floor of Custom House building just opposite the Circular Quay train station. The food and the views are amazing. I sat outside overlooking Sydney Harbour Bridge. The food, service and location are all very good. Its a bit pricey but well worth the visit. I came here as walk in guest without any issue and able to get a seat.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. I had their New Zealand salmon which is taste is very good. This dish is from their extended special menu which they only have it on certain days. The fish were fresh and it was so tender and taste superbly delicious. The cream potato which I ordered also taste very good. They used a lot of butter to prepare the cream potato. Although the salmon meal were simple, but it was perfectly grilled with full taste and the salmon still have the moise).
Price:2/10(Expensive. Cafe Sydney offers great food and great view of Sydney Harbour Bridge. The price is at the highend side and can be considered as fine dining restaurant. The king salmon cost AUD42 and cream potato at AUD10. Although



New Zealand king salmon, with asparagus, quails egg, olive cream, semi dried cherry tomato and bisque. Nicely prepared dish.

Cyren Bar Grill Seafood with waterfront view of Darling Harbour @ Sydney, Australia

Cyren offers great views of Sydney CBD as it is at the edge of Darling Harbour. The location is also great for relaxing meal and drinks. They have many fresh seafood, meats and cocktails option.

Taste:8/10(Good. Soft shell crab were fantastic. Fried huge crab with much meat and easy to eat. Good coffee and super sweet but tasty toffee date pudding).
Price:3/10(Expensive. Dining at this place is quite expensive as you get the nice view of Darling Harbour and stylish wooden restaurant environment. If you dine here on saturday night, you will have a chance to view the Darling Harbour fireworks. Seafood platter at AUD99 for twin sharing, toffee date pudding at AUD14 and pasta around AUD10. Fortunately, this is a sponsored meal which I quite enjoyed it).
