Why you’ll love Sydney
New York‘s Dumbo area combined with London‘s multi-cultural food culture, with Auckland‘s maritime life, resembling the vibe of Hong Kong and Shanghai and an European mindset you will find in cities like Berlin – Sydney combines the best of many worlds.
My best omakase experience in Sydney
The Japanese habit of omakase (お任せ) when you’re ordering at a restaurant pretty much means, “I’ll leave it up to you”, inviting the chef to be innovative and surprising in the selection of dishes. I try to do it in every city I visit, and apply the idea behind to everything between how I pick my runs, how I pick my food, how I plan activities with my kids, how I explore cities and how I travel in general. So, I tried this in Sydney as well.
