Day 6 @ Sydney: Löwenbräu Keller – The Rocks, Sydney

Day 6 @ Sydney: Löwenbräu Keller – The Rocks, Sydney

Great find! For once, Sydney offered up something good and I saw a part of town that's a little bit more alive after dark :)

A colleague recommended Lowenbrau at The Rocks for dinner. It's a german beer hall, serving great beer and off course pork knuckles. The knuckle was huge, crispy, a little salty, overall very enjoyable! Atmosphere was great as well, friendly waitress and a great crowd. I'm sure I will be back if I go back to Sydney again.

Day 5 @ Sydney: 西门烤翅 Crazy Wings

Day 5 @ Sydney: 西门烤翅 Crazy Wings

Interesting shop that we found at Chinatown. I actually walked past this shop several times but never really paid attention to it as it was usually quit quiet. Surprisingly it was almost full house when we went by. Shop specializes in barbecue on skewer, similar to what I had previously in 北京王府井. Quite a good variety of chicken and beef parts, other than that they also serves fried rice and some soup dishes. Not bad, enjoyable, but costly. The 4 of us ended up paying AU$100/-.

"西门烤翅源于背景清华大学西门,如今已发展成一个驰名四海的餐饮品牌,不仅在国内,甚至在加拿大等海外多国拥有多家连锁店。而位于悉尼的西门烤翅是澳大利亚的第一家加盟店。小店装潢古香古色。大红灯笼,全木质桌椅, 汉唐风情的手绘壁画,整体的优雅的环境为顾客提供一个不一样的体验"

Day 1 @ Sydney

Day 1 @ Sydney

Nothing much happening today other than catching up with much needed sleep.

Flight here was surprisingly good, managed 1.5 movie and 3 hrs of sleep. It helped that there is no pressure to sleep since I'm arriving one day earlier (and seat beside me was empty).

Lunch: Chinese noodles at the nearby Food Court.

Dinner: In-room – (Huge, delicious) pork chop.
