The best Yum Cha in all of Sydney- For more details click here. I've visited The Regal many many times over the last 10 years and I'm never disappointed. My favorites are the Roast Pork Buns, the prawns wrapped in rice noodles and of course the Mango pancakes for dessert - all washed down with the Chinese tea and some good cold Tsing Tao Beer. Asian beer goes so well with Asian food. Sydney Pub of the MonthNow this is my favourite section to review each month. There are some great pubs in Sydney with great food and some awesome beers and wines to choose from. The Pub of the Month for November is The Australian Hotel in the Rocks. Located right in the heart of the city this pub has a great choice of beers and servers fantastic food including great pizza. Try the Tandoori chicken pizza. Delicious!

Right next to the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Chinatown and a short walk from Darling Harbour. Room prices from $169 per night with wi-fi internet access.
