Welcome to Good Food Month

October is the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Month. So expect a lot of entries as we go to new restaurants for their lunch, dinner and desert specials!

Last night we took advantage of the public holiday and went to our first outing - Sugar Hit desert at the Westin Hotel in Martin Place. Before the desert we went for a Japanese casual dinner at Hamachi-Ya in Pyrmont. It was really nice. Below is a picture of one of the two sushi/sashimi boats we ordered. We also had an unagi roll, rainbow roll, and a couple of main dishes to share.

It was fresh, delicious, simple and cheap! I recommend it.

This is Banny and Wilson - as aliens!

Desert was less impressive for me. I actually voted for this desert (of the 10 or so that are running through October) as it has an aloe vera jelly. But it was actually fairly creamy overall still.
It is seasonal berries in aloe vera jelly with citrus curd and pineapple mouse. It also had some kind of cookie separating the jelly and mouse. The mouse was light, but too creamy for me. The jelly was disappointing. It came with a glass of Brown Brothers Muscat for $20 total. (Same as the sushi dinner per person - the sushi was much better value!)


This cute little fellow, is me. And on my lap is Wilson - let's see if I can explain the association clearly. He is Kate's second cousin's fiance's cousin's son. Yes, I think that is right. Cute kid, and very smart. He was good fun.
