Hey HFB

Can you let us know what you thought of the food at The Sebel, Pier One? The hotel looks stunning and has a great location - but I've never known anyone who's eaten there...

(Chilli Crab Sauce over the top of Barramundi sounds - and looks - sensational)

Hey Steve,

Let's just say the view was better - heh! But if you really wanna know, the Barramundi was the lesser of the two evils as compared to the Grain Fed Sirloin Steak (FYI, it was served in medium to medium well).

I reckon hotel food remains as hotel food - look good, feel good, but taste wise it is just average.

Ah. No wonder so little.. reviews. Heh.

I've realised (after watch Hell's Kitchen) that an entree can mean a main course too. I'm guessing the chilled prawns is a starter?

It looks REALLY GOOD! =D But.. is it? Hur.

Hey Fuzk,

Food Bloggers do watch soccer but only real soccer fans support Liverpool - YNWA! Heh.

Anyway you are right. Entree can be a main course and the chilled prawns was a starter.

And it was one of the better dishes that night - the other being the dessert, brownie with drenched with chocolate sauce, which unfortunately my camera battery went dead before I could snap it. :)

Will be visiting sydney in 3 months time and your pics are already making me so excited about the gourmet experiences that I know I'm going to enjoy.

Btw, read from your earlier entries that you used to study in Perth? I was there too for 3 years and miss the food & lifestyle there greatly. Wish I can make a trip back soon.

Hey sooks,

Nice of you to drop by. I am sure you will enjoy yourself munching away in Sydney. Do let me know your experience!

Oh. What a coincidence! I was there in 2004 & 2005. What about you? Study or Work? I am looking forward to head back to Perth soon as well. So many good memories there. :)

hi hfb,

Makoto was fabulous when i was there. Yummy sushis and everything was so fresh!

Did you happen to check out Musashi too, just 1 street away. Very good onomiyaki served there. Delish!

Hi Celeste,

Yeap. Apparently they venture to SFM (Sydney Fish Market) every morning for fresh seafood for their sashimi and sushi.

Nope. Didn't get to check out Musashi unfortunately, but I will be sure to look out for it when I am there the next time! :)
