My Five

Below are a list of my five all-time favourite places to dine in the city.

Lings: One of the few family run places in the city.You will still find the entire family right from the reception desk to the kitchen taking orders. This gives a real personal touch to the dining experience. My favourites from the menu are the bacon wrapped prawns. If you like spicy then the blasting chicken and the pot rice are a must try in this place. Don’t miss the mud cake!

Copper Chimney: This place is truly an institution in itself; love it for the consistency it has followed over the years. It’s a complete value for money place! The bara chops are a must try, one could also give the lunch buffet a shot as it rolls out a live extensive menu at a great price.

Indigo Deli: Have literally lived here! It’s the place to be at after a night of partying, the place is buzzing more than any club would at that hour and it’s purely for the simple Italian food it churns out. Even at that hour the staff here is welcoming and on their feet. The cheese rolls, pizza fiama and their spicy tomato balsamic dip is a must try.

Wasabi: It’s the only place that fills in the vacuum of an authentic Japanese restaurant unlike most of the other restaurants that serve Thai, Chinese & Japanese food under the same roof. The food here gets as authentic as it can in this city. The lobster, the tempura corn and prawns along with the wide range of sushi are a must try.

Kobes: The only way I can describe this is, it’s a habit! For the longest time I was a frequent visitor of the place and awalys found the same staff around. It is one place where you will not find the steward carrying a pad or a pen to write your order down no matter howmany choices you add to your sizzler. The chicken and steak sizzler and the kejriwal are a must try.
