Grilled kangaroo

Grilled Kangaroo:
Why shouldn't we eat the national animal? It is surprising that kangaroo is actually eatable and also contains high percentage of protein and low fat compare to other meat sources.

Kangaroo can be cooked well with garlic, juniper, rosemary and pepper. The method is first of all, grind star anise into fine powder with a mortar, pestle and zichuan pepper. Mix ingredients and marinate for about 3 hours. Sear one side for about 30s, turn it over for 3 minutes, after that turn it again for another 3 minutes. Finally, cover the rest of meat for 8 minutes, after that the delicious grilled kangaroo can be served with other vegetables such as potatoes for you and your family!

Vegemite toast

Vegemite Toast:
The classic paste for breakfast, lunch and even dinner. The first thing you must have a taste when you come to Australia is Vegemite. Only few people can successfully be use to this flavour. Vegemite looks like Britain’s Marmite, but it tastes more savory and sweet. It is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract which is a by-product of beer manufacture and so many other vegetables and spices. Vegemite is a great source of Vitamin B, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine. So the Vegemite toast is considered as a fantastic breakfast which provides lots of energy before you start your day, only if you like the flavour. Let’s say goodbye to Nutella.

The taste of fish I prefer in Sydney

I personal like Japanese food, the best part of Japanese food is fish and the fresh fish capture in Australia makes the restaurants in Sydney had great fish dish. So today I will introduce a great Japanese restaurants in Sydney I have been there before

This restaurant at Circular Quay. "Sake" is the name of this restaurant, this word is a type of alcohol in Japan it usually made of rice.I haven't try the sake there but the taste of the fish ...One bite of the king fish jalapeno with Citron soy and you'll understand why this is the signature dish of this excellent fine dining modern Japanese restaurant. The salty sweet slivers of fish are given a chilli kick that never overpowers — only compliments.

Our blog will be about food

Australia has a rich variety of foods and drinks, adopted and adapted since colonisation and developed as part of a multi-cultural society. What was once new and foreign has been transformed with new ingredients and styles into distinctly Australian food.













In Sydney every place,every suburb you can see different culture's restaurant on the streets.So no matter where you come from you can still taste the food from your home. That is the food in Australia , some people's imagery about the food in Australia is only BBQ and seafood and that is wrong, those are just part of the food in Australia.


Our blog will introduce some great restaurant in Sydney and provide some great recipe for our visitors.
