il Piatto at Skycity Casino

With various restaurants, bars, a club, a hotel, a resort, kick ass events and of course the gaming areas, Darwin Skycity casino is its own self contained universe. I’ve eaten at Evoo, Dragon Court and Sunset, but this was my first time at il Piatto.

Noodle House is one of the more upmarket Chinese restaurants in Darwin and it’s been a while since my last visit. The food here is the usual Chinese fare, but always tasty and rarely disappoints.

Meat pie showdown

I’ve been in love with pies since the 70′s, that’s right, before I was even born. Over the past few months I’ve been slowly but surely scouring the CBD for the freshest and the bestest â€“ today I present my findings. If I’ve missed any, feel free to point me in the right direction by leaving a comment.

Roast and Noodle Bar

Way back when Darwin Foodies was first launched in April I reviewed Roast and Noodles in Anthony Plaza Arcade. These guys do the best Chinese roast pork belly in all the Top End if you ask me and on the weekend I tried the steamed chicken to see if it was as good as their pork.
