The best long lunch spots in Sydney
"Restaurants Chinese Sydney. Roast ducks, whole crabs and seafood centrepieces might hog the limelight at Mr Wong, but smart players know to mke it a lunchtime occasion, because it's only during hte daylight hours that they have their dim sum menu available, and it's some of the fanciest dumpling work in town. Pro tip: You can still get the big ticket proteins at lunch time so it's a win all round."

10 of our favourite Japanese restaurants in Sydney for 2019
"At Potts Point's upmarket modern Japanese diner, chef Nic Wong packs stacks of creative talent and a deft culinary metier that results in a menu that is sharp, focused and downright delicious. A crab fried rice is smoky – that's the bonito – and spicy care of XO sauce, and textured by plenty of fish roe that pop like exploding ninjas. Eggplant miso sticks are kind of like sophisticated Dagwood Dogs – creamy, salty, soft-centred with an Asian twist."

Sharpen your chopsticks: here are Sydney's 10 best Chinese restaurants
"There’s nothing like spinning the lazy Susan at Golden Century and having a bed of fried vermicelli cradling saucy XO pipis land in front of you. With a string of culinary endorsements by the likes of David Chang, Neil Perry and Tetsuya Wakuda under their belt, the restaurant in the heart of Chinatown needs no introduction. All the Cantonese favourites make an appearance, from Mongolian lamb to extra crispy honey chicken, but it’s the pipis that you want."

"Restaurants Chinese Sydney. Holding court in the red and gold dining room of the Palace Chinese Restaurant comes with great responsibility. If you are in the power seat by the trolley channel you need to be decisive when the extra-juicy pink-hued roast pork rolls around, served in thin slices with the right fat-to-meat ratio."

Sharpen your chopsticks: here are Sydney's 10 best Chinese restaurants
"Whether in Walsh Bay to satisfy your cultural side or just to hang out by the harbour, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t find time for dumplings. Tucked in an old warehouse across the road from Sydney Dance Company, this polished diner serves some of the city’s best dim sum. Once you’ve worked your way through the squirty soup dumplings and translucent prawn parcels, there’s also a number of knock-out wok dishes to try, from the kung pao chicken to crispy eggplant in honey."

"Staying true to the US diner opening hours, you can drop in for a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Grab a cup of joe (don’t worry the coffee is to Sydney’s standard) or a full three-course dinner. The share plates are a tempting option for the indecisive punter, with crispy fish or pork belly tacos ($12), Southern style fried wings ($15), and Mexican street corn ($12) with manchego, hot sauce and fresh chilli, while the burgers served with your choice of fries or slaw offer an enticing alternative – the Double Phat ($23) with coated fried chicken breast, double smoked bacon, jalapeno, lettuce, lime aioli and hot sauce."

"Hidden in the bustling precinct of Darling Harbour is the Chinese Friendship Gardens, a gift to Sydney from Sydney’s Chinese sister city, Guangzhou in China. It has the strange ability to transport you away from Sydney to a tranquil spot that the kids will love exploring. Make certain you head to the traditional dress shop where, for a small fee, you and the kids can choose an outfit to wear to explore the grounds."
