Yvonne Perkins<p>My pet cafe peeves:<br>1. Wanting you to order via a QR code and then finding you have to open an account with a 3rd party menu provider to order things and they want your life details and then you decide no thanks and order from the counter then realise that you have wasted a lot of time and it would have been quicker and less invasive of privacy if you had ordered from the counter in the first place instead of fiddling around with some stupid app.<br>2. Having to use Google to try to decipher the menu because they insist on using words that no ordinary person uses.<br>3. Tea that you pay for and is simply a tea bag and a teapot of hot water<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/cafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cafes</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EatingOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatingOut</span></a></p>

Ganga<p>Hmmmm. Thali.</p><p>I thought, you know, thali. Indian dishes in small pots on a round plate (thali) with rice, pickles, etc etc.</p><p>Turns out their thali is 2 curries (Dal Makhani and a Paneer dish) with rice, roti and a raita. I had to ask for, and pay for, pickles.</p><p>A little disappointed, but the 2 curries were very good - not spicy enough, they are STILL dulled down even tho this is my umpteenth visit and I ask them every time to give me "Indian Spicy". Only once they got it right 🤣 </p><p>But very good. </p><p>Kulcha is better.</p><p>(and they can't make a decent masala chai for quids. I order one every time, I never learn.)</p><p>(the very very best masala chai I have had outside of India was from a food cart that used to be in the carpark of the big Indian bazaar on Main North Road. I'd go and get some things just to order their chai. Heavenly!)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndianFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndianFood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EatingOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatingOut</span></a></p>

Ganga<p>One night we had dinner at Island Radio in Surrey Hills/Redfern - a funky, loud, newish place with food influenced by the islands of SE Asia and Phillipines. The food was amazing and fantastic, with some vegan options. <a href="https://www.islandradio.sydney/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">islandradio.sydney/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>But if you were not eating vegan, there were almost no veggies in the 9'ish course set menu. If you love your veggies, I suggest you ask that some are included in the set menu.</p><p>Here are the dishes I had - the standouts were the soft tofu and the island radio salad. Incredible. Oh, and the Kopiko tresh leches.</p><p>🌟 Smashed cucumber, garlic vinegar<br>🌟 Soft tofu, sesame satay, coconut<br>🌟 Corn fritter lettuce cup, ginger lime dressing<br>🌟 Toasted rice bread, whipped sambal butter<br>🌟 Singaporean white pepper mushroom bakmi, black garlic oil<br>🌟 Island Radio salad, curried crispy rice, peanut satay vinaigrette, cucumber, enoki<br>🌟 Fragrant coconut curry, spring vegetables, puffed tofu<br>🌟 Steamed rice<br>🌟 Kopiko tres leches, three milks cake, brown butter milo crumbs, whipped cream</p><p>Also the mocktails looked amazing (did not try) and the younger ones were into the island-inspired cocktails which, from their reports were also very good.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EatingSydney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatingSydney</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EatingOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatingOut</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a></p>
