#mininomnoms

Phillip's Foote on UrbanspoonThis foodie stall only started opening up just recently. Phillips Foote has been established in The Rocks since 1975! They are very famous for their BBQ where you cook yourself and it's just some place different in the area. Now I have a secret obsession with Pork Belly and Pork Crackling (I'm on a mission to find the best Pork Belly in Sydney) and this place is by far one of the best places! I've been to Mr Crackling on Oxford Street and it's pretty good but this place is a lot more easy access (in some sense). Moving on… The pork is tender and at first I was abit hesitant with the whole apple sauce and gravy thing but it goes together so well and its absolutely devineeee

Quality: Soft, Warm and F-r-e-shhhh

Pricing: $4.00

Ofenfrische Brez’n 
(Haus Baked Pretzel) 

____Mininomnoms

Lowenbrau Keller on UrbanspoonThe Pretzels here are to dieeee for! Its great in the morning (especially on a cold winters' morning) because its fresh from the oven and its super toasty with a little tub of butter and its just so fluffy inside and delicious! Great for a pick-me-up with a coffee or tea and its filling too! Lowenbrau also have really awesome food with a great atmosphere and interior design! They have really good biers and also very friendly staff! Another pointer is that on weekends and friday nights (I think) they have a live band outside playing instruments and dancing. #sahadorbs I love the vibes and its just so fun and inviting!


Last but not least...

- - - The Fine Food Store - - - - -

Quality: Succulent and Drool-Worthy

Pricing: $10.00

Wagyu Beef Burger with Old School Relish

____Mininomnoms

The Fine Food Store on UrbanspoonI'm not being dramatic but I d-i-e-d. This was the best burger EVER. I don't usually like eating burgers cause it gets super messy and everything falls out at the back and juices go everywhere but when you're eating this… WHO CARESSSS! They are really quick with service even though theres 50 million people waiting in line! The only let down I have is the not-so-soft bun... BUT! The burger is good enough overall for me to keep coming back for more next time! Fine Food Store has really good bagguettes and coffee (especially the Iced Coffee! They have a frozen espresso shot in the coffee so that your coffee doesn't get diluted as the ice melts. GENIUS). Their food is usually a LITTLE bit pricey but hey, #healthy, doesn't bother me =) The guys working there are super cool and friendly and its a great place to sit back and absorb all the vitamin D's from the sun! 



Thats All for now loveypiees =) 

Hope you guys have a great day and I shall be posting soon =D

Don't forget to SMILE and keep your tummys HAPPY!

The Rocks, The Tea Cosy

Photo: The Tea Cosy, The Rocks
Front: Devonshire Tea, Two Homemade Plain Scones with Pear and Vanilla Jam and Thickened Cream.
Quality: 5 nomnoms out of 5!!
Service: 4.5 nomnoms out of 5!
Pricing: $ - $$ (Scones and tea is $)

THE NOMNOMGRAM!

  • The Quality of the food here is always top notch and high on standards. The scones are always fresh as they bake it every few hours. They have a really cute clock infront of the terrace house saying what time the scones were out of the oven so you can count on them to be fresh every time! I've been there for High Tea the first time I went to the tea Cosy and I was not disappointed! They have really good pots of tea and it was only $35pp! I got ribbon sandwiches, two scones with cream and jam (of course), 2 pots of tea in cosies (super cutee) and also two small dessert tarts (See picture below). 


  • The Customer Service here is exceptional! They are always really friendly with a warm smile and although the place itself is really small and compact, its very homey so you just snuggle right in there! 
  •   The Pricing here is quite affordable (especially being in the Rocks area!) a single scone is $2.50 and they sell pots of tea for $4.50. Devonshire Tea (as shown in the first photo) was $12.50 so that's pretty good considering you get a pot of tea with two scones. If you're going to have a sit in at The Tea Cosy you will probably spend about $10. 
  • The Quantity of the food is normal, I guess. You get what you paid for and its very good quality food and especially for the price you pay, its definitely worth it!  

** Side Notes

I am not exaggerating but am absolutely 
in love with this place! Lalalala~
Gives me warm fuzzies inside! Because I work at the Information Centre at The Rocks, we have brochures for this lovely place and we have people asking about it occasionally and I decided to pay them a visit one day because I was in desperate cravings for HigTea 
(strange I know), so I went by my self and it was the best decision I've ever made! 

They have a great atmosphere playing slow jazz-y, blues songs and its great to sit and unwind and relax. If you go during the week, it's not as busy and its just the perfect 
atmosphere to study or just chat with friends and just hang out! 

Their scones are super fluffy and its not like where you get them elsewhere! Its not super buttery and it goes perfectly with your pot of tea! Btw, they have really awesome tea flavours! Green tea with Strawberries is my 
favourite and I've also tried Creme Brulee black tea too!

Definately go to The Tea Cosy and try the scones and tea! You won't be disappointed and I HIGHLY recommend it! 


Hope you have a WONDERFUL day!
Don't forget to SMILE and hopefully... I'll pick up my game this month =D
