Chinta Ria Mood for Love, Sydney

Squid

Chicken and Snow Peas

Hey Everyone!
I have posted Chinta Ria Mood for Love. Now I am gonna post for Chinta Ria Temple of Love. This restaurant is located at Sussex St Sydney. It is quite difficult to find (for me..) It took me around 45 minutes going round and round Darling Harbour to find this place.. Anyway, probably it is just me. However, when I got into the place, it is quite unique. It has a big Julaihood (one of the Buddhist God) statute at the front. At that night, we sat outside though.

Beef Rendang

Fish and Eggplant

Char Kiew Tiau

For you that don't know, Chinta Ria sells Malaysian-Indian-Chinese-fusion food which resembles the races in Malaysia. So the menus are dominated with spicy-curry foods. There are some menus that are quite popular, which are the squid, fish and beef rendang. That night, we ordered chicken, fish, squid, beef rendang and the char kiew tiau. I like the SQUID the most. I do not know what it is called (I was actually late so I did not see the menu orders, I tried to find it in their website but it does not seem to have squid... O.o).. Anyway, if you are desperate, just show them these pictures, hope it helps. The next special is the beef rendang. It was medium rare. This was actually the first time trying beef rendang in a medium style. Normaly it is stewed for long long time, hours. But this one is different and worth trying. Other foods are quite average, but quite pleasant to eat.

The service is good, and surprisingly, the price is cheaper than Chinta Ria Mood for Love. Worth trying!!

Criniti's Restaurant, Sydney


 

  Hi There!



Trying to find a place for the next dinner party?? Criniti's restaurant is the right place to go! Yesterday, I went to this restaurant for my (best best best) friend's birthday dinner. Luckily she is very organised, so she made a booking in advance and we did not have to queue for looooooonnnnngggggggg time..... So, we went inside and ordered some foods. We order bruschetta Capree , rocket salad, and the 1-METRE LONG PIZZA. Yes buddy, 1-METRE LONG PIZZA! We ordered the pizza with ham and mushroom; chicken and avocado; and the salami and mushrooms.



The first food out was the entree, the bruschetta. It was so delicious!!!! The tomato, sweet onion, ricotta and the basil went well together. I think they also put some sort of vinaigrette that tasted so good. However, it was quite messy to eat it. As when you hold it on your hands and bite it, it started to fell off. But who cares??



Rocket Salad



The next to come out was the rocket salad. It was so delicious as well. To be honest, I am not a rocket-lover. The first time I tasted it, it was like....bleehhhh.. well.. but as I grew up, it is alright for me. But this one is exceptional! They put sweet potato, beetrots and ricotta in the salad. The sweetness of the sweet potato and the beetroots balance the bitterness of the rocket very well. And of course, the ricotta just melted in my mouth.. YUM!!!!

 



1-metre long pizza



Ham and mushrooms

Then, the 1-metre long pizza came out. It was H-U-G-E. It was served on a H-U-G-E plank with three flavours pizza on top. So, we just tucked in and ate it. The first pizza I took, was the chicken and avocado pizza. It was very delicious. They put sun-dried tomato and tomato sauce (otherwise chicken and avocado will taste quite blend). The next one I take was the salami and the mushrooms. I honestly think that was quite average. It had peppery flavour to it (of course, from the salami). The next one, was the ham and mushrooms. Other than that, they put olives as well. I pretty liked this one. The olives gave a bit of bite to it. And not forgetting the delicious stuff, was the MELTING CHEESE!!! No delicious pizza comes without MELTING CHEESE!

Overall, it was very enjoyable. The feeling when you eat with hands (instead of spoon, fork or knife) cannnot be beat. The environment is very good too, it was crowded, full of laughter and joy....I will definitely come back next time!

However, please note that this restaurant is quite expensive. It is located in Harbourside Shopping Centre, Darling Harbour and I do think that booking is essential other the queue will be forever.
