It's that time again...FOOD POST!

Hello there!  It's been a little while since I've done a food post, so here I go.  We've recently been trying a bunch of new places, in Surry and beyond and a few have even become new favs.

CHICA BONITA (MANLY):  Zac and Anna have introduced us to a new fav in Manly, Chica Bonita.  It's a taqueria style place and probably the best burrito that I've had in Sydney yet.  They also have these amazing seasoned fries with carne asada and cheese, delish!  I also love that they serve micheladas and have a wide range of margs.  Try the watermelon one!

PARMA (SURRY HILLS): We tried Parma about a month or so ago, and I have to say that at first I was a little nervous.  The space is really nice, but there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant.  We decided to give it a go, and I'm thankful that we did, because it was really good!  The waiters are for the most part, all Italian and really nice.  We started with an antipasto plate which was great.  I had the rabbit ragu and tagliatelle (homemade) which was absolutely delish (pictured).  Ryan had the lasagna which was enough to feed two people and also very good.  We will definitely eat here again!

VACANZA IN THE HILLS (SURRY HILLS): THIS is our new fav pizza place in the hood.  It opened a couple of months ago and is awesome.  They have a mozzarella bar, which is bomb.com so you have to get some as a starter for sure.  We are also big fans of the salumi/cheese plate which is HUGE considering it's only $15!  All the pizzas are delish, but my personal favourite is the Il Capitano which has pork and fennel sausage.  Yums!  The desserts are also wonderful.  If you have room try the tiramisu or the nutella and ricotta calzone.

KASBAH (BALMAIN): Holy breakfast!  For $25 a person, you can stuff your face like crazy at Kasbah.  There is really too much to write about, I just suggest that you go and check it out.  One quick tidbit, the meal is topped off with a "pancake".  Which is code for CAKE with chocolate and berries topped with caramel sauce.  Oh.  My.  God.

MOVIDA (SURRY HILLS): So, the famous Melbourne restaurant has just hit Sydney and it truly didn't disappoint.  First off, we had an amazing waiter who helped us navigate the menu, pick our courses and the wine!  We started with the charcuterie plate, all good except the tongue, which I tried but did not like.  We each had a couple of tapas.  I liked the chorizo bocadillos, and Ryan's wagyu air baguette (which was like a cracker).  We also had two racions (like mid-sized dishes) - the mussels and wagyu beef.  Both were insanely good!  We finished with the lamb shoulder, which I swear could've fed us all without the starters!  Finally, our waiter suggested after dinner drinks to top it all off.  We rolled right outta there!
