Bianca: West Hotel Sydney, Curio Collection by Hilton opened in late 2017 on Sussex street, towards Darling Harbour and Barangaroo. The boutique hotel is home to 182 rooms and the restaurant Solander Dining & Bar. Inside the fit-out is sleek, a marble bar and bold deep purple and electric blue velvet chairs set the mood. […]
Bianca: We set ourselves a bit of a goal last year, to try as many Merivale restaurants as we could. Our latest conquests were Sushi E and Fred’s. They’re both, gastronomically, the furthest from each other possible. Sushi E do some of the best ‘fine dining’ sushi in Sydney and Fred’s farm to table ethos have […]
[invite] Bianca: Returning to the popular Potts Point cafe, Paper Bird, is their famous weekend brunch menu. I visited late last year with some friends before the brunch menu made a re-appearance. So I was keen to return for the famous fried chicken! Joining me on my food excursion was lady love Ameriza. Let’s begin. A Skim […]
Vanessa: Newtown’s Cuckoo Callay, will play host for the next 12 weeks to the highly anticipated ‘Bacon Festival’. We at ForFoodsSake are lovers of the salty swine, so you can imagine our excitement to have been given the opportunity to taste the dishes ahead of the launch. Sadly my fellow FFS members, who are currently on […]

Bianca: Woolloomooloo has always been one of those elusive suburbs that I would skirt around on all my dining ‘endeavours’, not to mention the sweats that come on when someone asks me to spell it out. This marks my second visit to ‘China Doll’ both incidentally with my good friend ‘Gina’. My main reason for […]
[invite] Bianca: We have long been fans of the dining options at the Intercontinental Sydney. Previous write-ups include the High Coffee and High Tea in the Cortile lounge and a truffle tasting menu at 117 Dining. Walking away each time more impressed than my last visit. The signature buffet Land to Sea at Cafe Opera […]
Vanessa: After a week of separation anxiety, I was reunited with Bianca and Alex to kick off our 5 day food journey across Melbourne. What better way to kick off the first evening of our rendezvous, than at George Calombaris’ revamped Press Club…or so we thought. Having heard a number of various reviews, mostly positive, […]

[invite] Bianca: Where’s Wolli has been charming the locals for almost 3 months now, tucked away at the bottom of an apartment complex, they’re a quick 5-minute drive from Sydney Airport, perfect for any future pick-ups/drop-offs. Something I’ve already made mental note of. Joining me on my food excursion was Instagram husband @philxiaaaaa – discussing all things […]
Vanessa: As many of you may know, we at team FFS hail from a southern Italian heritage but where from exactly you may not know. Our grandparents were born on a small island in the bay of Naples, called Ischia, which is a short boat ride from the well-known island of Capri. Having heard rumors […]
The Majors Bay Road restaurant strip, for the most part has ticked every general cuisine one could desire. Thai, Lebanese, Italian, French but the one thing we didn’t have for the longest time was Chinese. Until now… Wok Chow opened up almost one month ago in a space occupied by a former deli and a […]

Bianca: In the initial planning stages of our Western Australia adventure, we made a mental note for a splurge restaurant when we hit Perth. Our options were really only down to two places and with one of them having those not so friendly WA trading hours, it was a fairly easy decision. Our meal at […]
