Food

I have to say that the food so far on this trip has been fantastic...

New York It's not so much that the food was fantastic here but as soon as I arrived I had a longing for hot dogs. I may have mentioned this before but I don't normally eat hot dogs, however, when I get to New York I can't get enough. Just as well we didn't stay too long in New York or I may have turned into a hot dog... ;-)

Sydney There has been lots of good food had in Sydney (as Farah promised)
Sushi rolls - These seem to have been a replacement for hot dogs... except better. They're like the little norimaki rolls you can get in Yamamori in Dublin but they are bigger - about three inches long and there is such a selection. They are so tasty....
Thai food our first experience of Thai food in Australia was one of the better Thai restaurants - Stir Crazy in Kirrbilli. The food is excellent and even do take away. So we ate there twice once eat-in and once take-away. I had a masaman curry, mild but very tasty and Jamie and stir fried chicken and sweet potato, a strange mix but pleasing. Stir Crazy won't break the bank but you can't book tables and the restaurant is small.
Chinese - we went to China Town one evening, which was an experience. It's got lots f activity and some great markets but we found a lovely restaurant called Noble Chinese Restaurant (funny cos our local Chinese in Dublin was called Noble House), maybe that's why we ate there. Anyway the only thing I could possibly fault them on is that their Sesame Prawn Toast isn't as nice as Jamie's. Not that it wasn't nice, just Jamie's is better. The main course portions were absolutely huge but that didn't stop at least sharing a dessert. All in all very pleasing.
Night Noodle Market - As described in blog below, a lovely idea and we enjoyed it.

I also have to mention a couple of other bits, such as Burger King is called Hungry Jacks over here and today we tasted peppermint Sprite (never seen that before) and we'll never taste it again. Lots of fast food places, kebabs and equally lots of places that do sushi and juices. New Zealand Natural ice cream parlours are the best as the also doo smoothies, juices and milk shakes.
