Weekend Food review - Mitzu, Max Brenner, Pappa Rich

Mitzu
Japanese, Macquarie Centre, Macquarie Park, Sydney


We took our niece and nephew to Mitzu for a treat, niece's coming a the top of her class. The Sushi train was well served with quality
Sushi and service. However lack of variety and flair left us wanting for more. Ambience and food was okay but nothing more than that.
Most stinging was the price, we felt a bit ripped off in the end. It is recommended for a taste of Sushi as it is found outside of Japan, but not
the best even in Sydney.





Food: 6/10
Service: 6/10
Ambience: 7/10
Value for money: 5/10
Overall: 6/10
Recommend : Yes
















Max Brenner, 
Chocolates, Macquarie Centre, Macquarie Park, Sydney


Waiting for the Strike bowling to be free of a bowling lane, we opted to go for a dessert at Max Brenner. We ordered following :
- The Hot mug hot chocolate  $ 5.90
- Praline Meringue Puff Extravaganza $ 14.00
(Giant praline meringue stuffed with vanilla ice cream,
topped with strawberries & caramelised pecans)
- Chocolate Strawberry Dip $ 8.70
(Dip fresh strawberries in pure melted chocolate)

The Quality was not dismal but not too great either.
The hot mug chocolate was not a realone and tasted not
better than my Milo at home.

The other 'extravaganza' left us wondering is that it? The American chocolate eatery has plenty of ambience and makes you feel good to be there, but the food itself did not meet our expectation, which is kinda sad as we really expected much better from the International chain.

Food: 4/10
Service: 6/10
Ambience: 7/10
Value for money: 3/10
Overall: 5/10
Recommend : No








Pappa Rich
Malaysian - Chinese, India fusion, Chatswood



We had been to Pappa Rich at Broadway near the city once, it was a good experience.
Today we had a chance to go to their another opening at Chatswood, meeting friends.
The ambience of the place is quite nice with Asian design and aroma filling the crowded
hall. You can see the chefs at work with the trademark open kitchen configuration.

We were seated inside a separate room with two tables due to the kids of our friends.
We ordered a couple of spicy curry Laksa and some set menus.
Food tasted good and  of right potion, but not enough to satisfy if you are
really hungry. It is a bit pricey for budget. Wide choice of Indian and Chinese
cuisine makes it a very good choice if you want to taste Malaysian.

However, we did not feel that oomph and did not feel anything special.

Food: 6/10
Service: 6/10
