Don’t say it with flowers, say it with food at these excellent Sydney restaurants
Learn to cook like a master chef
The closest thing to copping yum cha in Honkers is the iconic East Ocean Restaurant in bustling Chinatown. The open-plan dining room is buzzing with big groups and loaded carts narrowly avoiding head-on prangs in their endeavour to tempt you with their delicious cargo. While we happily allow the chicken feet cart to pass, we hail down prawn and pork dumplings ($5.50), fried octopus ($6.80) and barbecue pork buns ($4.50) fast. The dumplings are fluffy and fine-skinned, while the octopus ticks the deep fried box big time. For dessert, we can't go past a plate of fluorescent mango pancakes. They may look radioactive, but the faux mango flavouring and delicate texture makes this a Hello Kitty kind of dessert that hits the post-gorge spot.
