Taste of Sydney 2012

If you are reading this and you didn't go, you missed it! Book it in your diary for next year. Taste of Sydney just had it's fourth Sydney festival. The weather was kind, in fact I got slightly burnt where I missed with the suntan cream.  Don't get on the scales before you go to Taste of Sydney and then weigh yourself again afterwards, that is a very bad idea. I was amazed at how many restaurants were there. There was so much to see we spent three hours there in no time at all.
Taste of Sydney is an array of tents housing different restaurants and food stalls. It also had a large selection of wines, a few beers and cider. It was $25 online to buy a ticket to get in, once you were in you needed to buy crowns, as little or no cash could be used at the stalls. $1 bought 1 crown though nothing was under 4 crowns, that I could see. Most of the food was $10 for a very small portion and if I was going to criticize anything it would be the cost. We ate through (literally) $110 no trouble at all. The drinks seemed to be the best value.
We had some very good Sushi and a fish ball! I had two ciders and a lemonade.  Plus I had a yoghurt, some extremely good salmon, a clam, cheese & pear and more. If you like food and drink this is definitely the event for you, you can try heaps in fact the hardest part is deciding what not to try! Make sure it is in your diary for next year.
