Commercial Break - Steamed Snapper

We strayed from the recipe a bit by stuffing the snapper with tomato, onion, garlic and ginger.

Drooling from the idea that this baby was going to steam in soy sauce, rice wine, chicken stock and sesame oil.

50 minutes...

Wish we had coriander!

Commercial Break - Jamie's Italian

Jamie's Italian
107 Pitt Street,
Sydney, NSW
http://www.jamieoliver.com/au/italian/

We're sure that Jamie's Italian has already been over-blogged and over-critiqued. But this is what we have to say about this restaurant. The food is great, but the service we received was impeccable.

After we were served our drinks, we noticed that there was something floating in one of the glasses. We brought this to the attention of the server. In less than three minutes, three different people, including the manager, apologised. And on top of that, we were offered free dessert. It wasn't a big deal really. But we were so impressed.

Throughout our meal, the wait staff was so attentive, but not overbearing or intrusive. And to add to the already impressive ambiance, our food was presented to us by a man with a great Italian accent. Our meal felt even more authentic.

If you are craving for Italian in Sydney, this is the place to be.

Fresh pasta being made provided entertainment while we waited for a table.

Love the ambiance

Commercial Break - Delicado

Delicado

134 Blues Point Road,
McMahons Point, NSW 2060

We were excited to go back to Delicado and try their breakfast menu. Verdict? Sounds good, looks good, BUT the Huevos Paelleras
also just tastes...good; not mind blowing and definitely not something we will crave for.

We will probably go back for lunch instead. It is such a great place to hang out on a lazy, sunny, Sunday afternoon. Besides, sangria might be too early for breakfast.
