Nov 13th: Sydney Dinner

[oz_mark]

As a number of us are intending to be in Sydney for a rail trip [ (http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/com...ents/nov-14th-rail-carriage-sydney-24020.html) ], I thought it would be worthwhile organising a dinner/drinks for those in Sydney on the Saturday night. Rather than pollute that thread with such frivolity, I thought it best to start a new thread.

Could I have a show of hands for those interested (and suggestions for venues)?

I'm thinking somewhere around Darling Harbour, but open to all suggestions

I loved the Mongolian BBQ we had at the SYD Gathering - reasonable value. I would however put my hand up if DIN TAI FUNG at world square if it was mentioned

Im happy as long as its not too expensive. BTW, DIN TAI FUNG is next door to Rydges where we can have pre drinks or post drinks @ 50% off.

I might even stay there...

I'm in for the dinner, though I won't be attending the rail thingee.

My preference is to try something different to the mongolian place

It must be an AFF "transport" weekend, a number are also heading to LRE.

If it helps, +1 is planning on attending :!:

 

[JetLagged]

Yes, we'd be interested as well!

I'm interested in finally meeting some of the prolific posters on here

My suggestion would be Hurricane's at Harbour City in Darling Harbour - a nice thick, juicey steak on the terrace overlooking the city is always a great night.

Forgot to add that I will bring my +1 too

I'd second DIN TAI FUNG, went there a while back and the dumplings were amazing. and well priced indeed.

I would love to attend drinks but I think I will give it a miss at this stage.

We have a 5:00am bus trip to Blackheath the next day and I will need to be up before 4:00am.

I'm a scratchie as I won't be in town, but if I had a vote, I'd say Hurricanes; the sauteed mushroom entree & a full rack of pork ribs will do for me thanks

So I've been thinking of an excuse to not get up at 5:00am to take a 6:45am flight up to SYD on a Sunday for the rail trip.

I think I'll fly up on the Saturday instead at a much more sociable 10am and spend the night.

So count me in. Hurricanes sounds good, but I've also been known to eat a dumpling or two as well. Hurricanes does look to have a wider beverage selection

Count me in, but if notzac is coming (are you coming?) something with a vegetarian option may be nice for such non-meat eaters
