Thoughts: I have had 2 weeks of morning breakfast in this hotel. Here, its not a buffet style but rather you order from a menu of Pastries, fruits, yoghurt, or coffee and you get to choose three for AUD$15. For 2 weeks, I have tried almost everything possible in the menu. The coffee here wan nice, and great to have it outside with the still cold weather of September in Sydney!

烧鸭烧肉饭 Roast Duck & Roast Pork Rice & Chinese Tea @ Old Town Hong Kong at Barangaroo

29.09.2018 Dinner

Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000, Australia

烧鸭烧肉饭 Roast Duck & Roast Pork Rice AUD$15.80 👍😋 
Chinese Tea AUD$2.50 👍😋
Budget: AUD$20
Cuisine: Chinese
Public Transport: Wynyard Station (5 minutes)
Thoughts: After 2 weeks in Sydney, last evening dinner here at Bangaroo's only chinese restaurant after a day at Mannly and the Rocks. Undoubtedly, both the Roast duck and crunchy Roasted pork was very nice in a huge traditional bowl at the price of about AUD$16 (or rm$50). Suffice to say, most restaurants at Bangaroo seems always crowded in the evenings especially on weekends (Fridays and Saturdays)! Have been in this particular restaurant a few times in 2 weeks and so far the dishes tried are all not bad of what seems a reasonable price in Australian terms but quite expensive comparing to what's offered in South East Asia.

Thoughts: Peroni Nastro Azzuro is a premium lager beer brewed by  brewed by Birra Peroni Industriale S.p.A. in Roma, Italy. The beer comes in golden color, clear and bright colors and very soothing taste, very nice! Had this one in mid-afternoon at "The Push" located within the Russell Boutique Hotel at the Rocks, Sydney. The Hotel is a short stroll from Circular Quay Station, and it is a 130 year old hotel. 
The Push opens from noon till mid-night, with a decoration that shows the charms of the history of "The Rocks".

烤猪五花肉配沙拉 Roasted Pork Belly Salad & 4 Pines Tasters @ 4 Pines Brewing Company at Manly, Sydney

Roasted Pork Belly Salad AUG$26 👍👍😋😋 
4 Pines Tasters AUD$18 👍👍😋😋
Budget: AUD$50
Cuisine: Craft Beer, Food
Public Transport: Manly Wharf (5 minutes walk from the Wharf)
Thoughts: The roasted pork garnished with salad was good and the craft beer tasters (5 glasses) was even better. Located just across the street after disembarking from the Manly Wharf (where its about 30 minutes ferry ride from Circular Quay). This is absolutely one of the things to do if one ever visits Manlay, Sydney; both the food and the beer here at 4 Pines. 
The 4 Pines Brewing Company is a microbrewery established in 2008 in Manly, New South Wales. In fact, the beer is made on-site (Tours of the brewery starting sharp at 12:30pm are AUD$25 which include a tasting rack but unfortunately only on weekdays!)

奶咖啡 Flat White @ Barefoot Coffee Traders at Manly, Sydney

1-3 Wentworth St, Manly NSW 2095, Australia
GPS Location: 33°47'59.0"S 151°17'08.2"E
奶咖啡 Flat White AUD$4.80 👍👍😋😋 
Budget: AUD$5
Cuisine: Coffee
Public Transport: Manly Wharf (15 minutes)
Thoughts: Manly in Sydney, is more like a tourist town; and more so during summer time. It is famed as a surfing spot, laid back pubs, and oceanfront walks. After a long walk along the oceanfront, stumbled on this coffee shop and settled on an Australian Flat White. 
There is an interesting story about the origins of "Flat White" Coffee! It was said that coffee culture was brought to Australia by the Italians during World War II. But "Flat White" was claimed to be either an Australian or New Zealand "invention" in the 1980s; it is perhaps something of between Cupuccino and Latte. Nevertheless, Wikipedia's definition of Flat White is "actually identical to a Latte, except the serving size and format”. The Coffee Barista here said that a Flat White is about 1/3 coffee plus 2/3 boiled milk with a little swirling foams!
