First Night

January is Sydney Festival Month and as any good student with no money should, we headed off to First Night - the free one :) Stages in the parks and people all over the city enjoying the free music and performances. Greg is going to do it more justice with all the pics soon I am sure but I just wanted to get a little word in (naturally, never one to let it slide eh kez?). So I am going to do the pre show with a significant nod to the best chinese food I have ever eaten - I usually avoid the chinese offerings in Sydney but with Greg at the helm (been sailing too much so scuse the related jargon) we were treated to amazing "fragrant eggplant" that both Ros (a family friend) and I are looking forward to for a lunch snack left over.

The end of the holiday is rapidly approaching and I am suffering from severe back to school jitters and mild panic, mostly during dreamtime :) But it has been such a good break and so lovely to catch up with Tal, Claud and Greggles! Gonna miss you all again.
The pics are a jumble of the trip to see the girls and first night revelry

Take note Phil - BEST CHINESE EVER! This is the dumpling place i told you to go to. NEXT TIME YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME!

Just for your info -
Panfried lamb and celery dumplings (potstickers)
Cold hand made xinjiang noodles
Cucumber salad with black vinegar
Fragrant eggplant in spicy sauce
Beef spring pancakes with hoisin sauce

firstly, potstickers are always greasy. and secondly, kezza is right to claim that that stuff was the best chinese she's ever eaten, because she has eaten din tai fung pork dumplings yet.

Greg said...

Shame, the potstickers at din tai fung were greasy? shame, you really missed out.

Dr Phil said...

din tai fung doesn't do potstickers, because they are always greasy and good restaurants don't serve them. duh.

I am willing to side with Greg and his superior knowledge of Asian food - that menu sounds rad!

HOLLA!
