Sydney: Ms G's

During my 48 hours in Sydney in July, I visited a few eateries. One being Ms G's. This funky venue has AWESOME written all over it on many levels! Chefs Dan Hong and Jowett Yu are behind the creation of this menu and OMG the atmosphere is awesome with old school hip hop/rap playing in the background!

BUT I APOLOGISE FOR THE DARK PICTURES. Just tilt your computer screen up and down or move your  head around to take a better glimpse of the food shots. I was too afraid to look 'uncool' in such a funky place to use my flash on my trusty HTC phone. haha the lighting is pretty dark and red in the venue but the camera phone didn't capture enough of it. So I'm sorry again...but you can always go there yourself to try it out =P


The Menu


Plate o' Ms G's Pickles

We ordered pickles to start with and accompany the other dishes. They were ..well..pickled!! haha if i can recall, there were celery, carrot, capsicum, cabbage..and the memory has faded lol. it's just a plate o' pickles in the end. 


Mini crispy pork belly banh mi

The roll is filled with pickled carrot and coriander with a creamy special sauce. The pork was so juicy and had the perfect crispy skin in a warm bread roll!! Nom Nom Nom!! It was only the beginning.


Vietnamese steak tartare, prawn crackers

I always love eating steak tartare and had to give this a shot, seeing how different it was. It was really tasty and had the added crispy shallots to add to the texture. Prawn crackers..who would have thought? hahaha I loved it!! We had to fight over the last piece.


Grilled Calamari, bacon chilli jam, potato, lettuce hearts

Yum Yum Yum..this dish was delicious! Fresh, tasty and it was crazy good!!


Fried baby chicken, kimchi mayonnaise

This was 1/2 a bird and was fried battered spatchcock. It was good, but not outstanding.


Jow's sweet and sour lamb ribs

These were finger licking good!! How can you use a fork and knife? They are better eaten with your hands!!! Yum yum!!


Passionfruit, pomegranate, purple basil mocktail

Yes, I know what you're thinking... I'm an AA..have been sober for 2 years! You should be proud!! Or just a cheap drunk who passes out after 2 shots..however.. I love Ms G's!!! They offer mocktails, and I enjoyed the one I had!


"Stoner's Delight" Doughnut ice cream, chocolate, rice bubble, pretzel, peanut brittle, marshmallow

This was a lot to take in, but man did I scoffed it! hahaha I liked everything... can't complain!


Pandan chiffon cake, strawberries, coconut sorbet

This was a little weird... see, I get the Vietnamese desserts! I get them from Springvale and share them with my parents when I get the chance..I love them! However, This was just...ok..*hand lay flat and move from side to side*... the coconut sorbet was just very salty. The texture of the cake..ok..and there was so much sago pearls on the plate.. we just didn't enjoy it as much.. ah wells..

I love Ms G's nonetheless and would love to visit again when I go back up to SYDNEY!!
