Sydney Sights


The Spanish Quarter along Liverpool Street, CBD South



Chrysanthemum blooms in a crowded city profile




          Never lack of time for a refreshing dip into the water, to then watch and stare, as the world goes by.





Effort, talent and market exposure - an enterprising band buskers at teh corner of George and Liverpool Streets on a weeknight.




           Past Arncliffe on the Princes Highway, heading south past semi-industrial blocks in the city's south.







And mankind tries to shape his vision and will on the Earth.

The Art of Making Murtabak








Above is the final product, accompanied by three different types of South Indian curries - chicken, vegetarian and lamb with potatoes. The murtabak - crispy bread with fillings of minced lamb and aromatic onion - is a meal by itself. All this for under AUD11.








The fillings are placed ready to be wrapped up once the fresh dough translates into a delectable bite of roti.

















Utensils of the murtabak maker.







Swirling the dough on to the hot plate - the very first step of making murtabak.

A Sunday Night in Carlingford



A home setting - stirfried vegetables with mushrooms and more, typical food of Chinses immigrants around the world.





Susan and Boo Ann's delectable chili concoctions and combinations, to garnish the main dishes and tickle the palate.  That home grown chili is hot.




Crackling roast pork, suitable for snacks but best served with rice on a winter's night.
This particular serving has a special ingredient - we have to ask Boo Ann.




Hainan-inspired chicken flavoured rice.





Bean curd squares with minced pork - easy to digest and good for any age.
