Lunar Markets, Pyrmont

First off, happy valentine’s day to my dear readers! I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned (better than my own “eat expensive chocolates while watching a hockey game” plan). If you enjoyed the open-air style of the Night Noodle Markets, you’ll definitely enjoy this new pop-up festival that celebrates the Lunar New Year. The smaller market has a more laidback feel and you can enjoy your food while admiring the Sydney city skyline.

Momofuku Seiōbo, Pyrmont

Dave Chang has been one of my favorite culinary personalities for a very long time; he just seems like the coolest guy. Momofuku Seiōbo was the first restaurant in Dave’s empire to be “born” outside of NYC. I remember sitting in class in 2011 and monitoring all the seiōbo chatter online instead of doing my work. It’s not the most price-friendly establishment in Sydney so it’s taken me 3 years to finally add it to my rolodex of eats and it is definitely a personal highlight.
