Caraway ☕✨| Newest Cafe in Burwood


It's been almost two months since this new cafe opened in Burwood, and I'm here to share my thoughts on it with you to kick-start the year on my blog. Conveniently located on the peaceful George Street, a 3-minute walk from Burwood Station, Caraway Cafe is the newest addition to the 'coolest neighbourhood in Australia' (and #16 in the world) by Time Out Magazine in 2025.

ellu cafe 🍃 / worth the hype? ☕

I visited ellu cafe, which is a cute little cafe nestled in a heritage building in Darlinghurst, about a 15-minute walk from Central Station. My friend Tony and I heard that this place was popular for their French Toast and matcha drinks using ceremonial-grade matcha powder. 

When we arrived, there was a large crowd already waiting around at the front of the cafe; however, I noticed an online waiting list, so we left our details and walked around the neighbourhood. We waited about 30 minutes before getting a call to let us know that our table was ready. 

Ramen Auru | Lunch under $20 in Sydney! 🍜

The moment my physio told me that they were serving ramen at lunch time for under $20, I was sold! Under $20 in this economy!!! If you're in the north and looking for a lunch spot under $20, consider Ramen Auru. This spot is located at Crows Nest on the busy road, Falcon Street. 

YAN | Asian Smokehouse Restaurant 🍖🥥

Finally, a meal worth writing about! It's been a while since I've had a good meal, and I'm delighted to share this little gem with you all. I first heard about this place roughly two years ago and had finally booked a table for two, for a girls' night out with my bestie and me at YAN restaurant, a one-hatted Asian Smokehouse located in Wolli Creek. 

Bar Morris | Shan't Return 🥩

Over the weekend, I booked a table to dine at Bar Morria via the First Table app, which offered 50% off the food menu, where I caught up with a friend. 

🦆🍚 Gion Duck Rice | Kyoto eats

Have you ever craved a dish from a specific time? For me, it's the Gion Duck Rice at Kyoto, Japan, that I had two years ago. It was a unique dining experience in an underground, small and cozy 7-seater open kitchen restaurant serving up just one dish that they specialise which is their duck hitsumabushi, located on the busy streets of Gion.
