Chocolate counter at David Jones Food Hall

We followed-up our yum cha banquet with a visit to the Art and About Sydney Life Exhibition on the central walkway of Hyde Park north. My favourite photo follows--wedding + food + imminent disaster. What more could you want?


MICHAEL AMENDOLIA Rites of Passage - Cutting the Cake
Felicity Anderson in Vietnamese traditional dress and Dat Lieu cut their croquembouche wedding cake. Dat playfully attacks the cake with Felicity's grandfather's WWI sword.

We then checked out the Shoot the Chef! exhibition at the Art Galley. It's amazing how many pictures featured Tetsuya! Some were particularly creative, atmospheric or intriguing, and we had to concur that the winning picture featuring (who else) but Tetsuya, was a worthy winner.

With flagging blood sugar levels, where else does one turn to but the chocolate counter in the David Jones Food Hall?



We couldn't resist a slice of this Italian baked ricotta cheesecake in addition to a luxurious handful of handmade chocolates.
