For most of us shopaholics, going overseas and shopping online is our only way of "keeping up with the trend". Australia is labelled "down under" for a reason - we are so separated from the rest of the world that it is reflected in our inability to keep up with the trends and thus always seem to be a few seasons behind.
But then, a miracle happened. This miracle is Westfield Sydney. Located on the bustling shopping strip of Pitt St Mall (Sydney), the opening of Westfield Sydney saw Australia's first Zara, Sydney's first Miu Miu, Mulberry and Louboutin. It was ah-may-zing!!! We are finally in the zone.
But wait, there's more!
Forget the typical fast food that is generally found on the food court level of your local Westfield. Located on level 5 of Westfield Sydney are some of the most amazing gourmet food I've ever tasted. Foodcourt price, fine dining quality - why not?
It appears that all food outlets (or mini chain of restaurants) located on this level own a restaurant in Sydney. Take the likes of Justin North's brainchild, Becasse followed by the popular dumpling house, Din Tai Fung - this food court is like heaven on Earth!
Also, not to be bias, but I am so proud and extremely ecstatic to find the popular Vietnamese food chain, "Wrap and Roll" on this level as well! I saw this restaurant everywhere in Ho Chi Minh City and now it's finally here, a taste of authentic Vietnamese rice paper rolls! Woot Woot!

I'm so spoilt; I work right by Westfield and have lunch there every day. I highly recommend Reuben & Moore! Yummy sandwiches and pastrami plates.
ReplyDeleteawww lucky you!!!
ReplyDeleteI no longer work in the city (moved to North Ryde) so food is only a few cafes and Macquarie Centre down the road *sigh*
Will def try Reuben next time :)
You have to try the seafood platter at Cloudy Bay Fish Co. Sure the clumps of seafood they give you are seriously bite-size but they are absolutely delicious!
