Ladda Thai

Ladda Thai, located on the Sydney Park end of King Street, is a totally unassuming looking little takeout restaurant, with a few cramped tables to sit at. They specialize in thai style dishes that make your mouth water. I wouldn't recommend eating on site, but trying the food from there is a MUST.

As soon as you see the store, you see the ingredients they use to cook your food with on display so you see exactly what's going into your meal, no hidden surprises~ Their rice noodles with chicken, is so delicious, it's hard to explain, but you just want more! They don't skimp on quantity either, the box you get is packed to the brim with food, it looks like it could almost burst.

Their rice noodle dishes are always bursting with flavour and their seafood ones can be quite spicy (And as a person who does not always do well with spice, I endured the tears streaming down my face because it tasted that good).

The more seasoned staff will always greet you with a smile, as soon as they see you enter. Which is a great thing to experience where ever you go~

Though their online website is a mess (Requiring you to sign up before you can actually view it, which is a little silly, and also not centered), don't be afraid to swing by and grab a physical copy of the menu, which requires nothing other than walking in and taking one. Ordering online itself isn't necessarily bad, it is just a lot easier to go in and order in person.

Paragon Cafe - Goulburn

The Paragon cafe is located on the main street of Goulburn, a little town along the highway from Sydney to Canberra, that's been there forever. All the locals know about it and most people who have passed thorough the town have eaten there.

The entrance does look like something right out of the 50s, but that just adds to it's charm~ The cafe has been in Goulburn since 1948 according to their website!

The meals are about average in pricing, but huge in size. I can recommend their pasta dishes (Do consider sharing it with a friend~), the creamy taste just melts on your tongue and you just want more. The atmosphere is friendly, and the staff always have smiles on their faces.

Though nothing really stands out as a signature/unique dish, on their menu, what they do offer is exceptional and often brings people back, if you ever stop by Goulburn, be sure to check this little gem out!

Toko Japanese Restaurant

You may think that all Japanese restaurant in Sydney are the same. But this is different... the atmosphere, servings... and of course the price to pay for. Although the foods here are pricey, the foods will not let you down.

Beautify ambient

Foods here are generally priced around $40-70, so make sure to bring more friends there so you can share cost and try many different dishes rather than paying the same amount to try one dish. The first time I went there with my friends, there was already queue outside the restaurant but we waited patiently as we were told that this is no ordinary Japanese Restaurant, and we were disappointed when we tasted the foods. 

Firstly,  I had their lychee and jasmine mojito. It was so good that i was craving for seconds.

After ordering the drink, we ordered some sushi, grilled scallop, sashimi. The sashimi were very fresh and the sushi were well presented and importantly tasted fantastic.

Fresh and well presented sushi!!!

Another fresh and enjoyable sashimi

After having the shushi and sashimi, we ordered a Desert Platter which the presentation was a spot on, but of course the important part is the tastw which is simply amazing.

After having the meal at the restaurant, I am dying to go there for another meal. Would definitely recommend to the food lovers.
