An unexpected discovery - Scones

After trying so many places, this is like one of the best scones I ever had. 
Soft and fluffy. 

It can be found at The Lobby Lounge at Shangri-La Sydney Hotel. 
I am going to book myself a afternoon tea on my next visit!

Lowenbrau

Lowenbrau

===========================================

This is the Schweinshaxn, which is Oven-Roasted Pork Knuckle Served with Sauerkraut, Löwenbräu Bier Sauce and Mashed Potatoes. 

Unlike the pork knuckles, this one is soft and does not stick to the bone. 
The skin is crispy too!


Will I come back?
Yes, I would.  And this time, I will pair it with Lowenbrau beer!

Pancake on the Rocks

Pancake on the Rocks
4 Hickson Rd, The Rocks, Sydney

===========================================

I have heard many reviews about this restaurant.

There are many outlets in Australia and I went to The Rocks outlet at Sydney.
This restaurant is set up by an American, Roger Meadmore. He wanted to bring the pancake obsession to Australia, where one can eat pancakes with anything(just like how Australia eats toast).

The menu is interesting. You can opt to have pancakes as a :

  1. Traditional breakfast
  2. Dessert, 
  3. Mains (paired with beef, chicken, mushrooms etc)

I ordered The Dawn (AUD 13.50), which is hash brown with scrambled egg, bacon and grilled pineapple.

Will I come back?
Definitely. The bacon is crispy and delicious. When paired with the grilled pineapple, it is so heavenly. It's value for money as the portion is huge.

Cafe Sydney

===========================================

Cafe Sydney is located at the top floor of Customs House. It gives a spectacular view of the Harbour Bridge. Indoor and outdoor seating are available.




















For appetizer, I had half a dozen freshly shucked oysers on ice with eschallot and caramelised cabernet vinegar (AUD 21.50)

Mains was crispy pressed Berkshire pork, pine nut crusted pork loin, morcilla sausage, prune, sweet potato, jus (AUD 39)

I ordered fried banana, peanut butter parfait, salted caramel peanut, chocolate ice cream for desserts (AUD 19)

Will I come back?
If you are a tourist like me, it is worthwhile to book a table at Cafe Sydney for the experience. What's the best way to enjoy the view with a glass of wine.
