Frango Bella Vista

Frango charcoal chicken is a Portuguese restaurant chain established in 1992 by the Fernandez family. Frango's dishes are those of generational family recipes incorporating spices from Angola and Charcoal cooking techniques from Portugal. Stating in Petersham in 1992 the restaurant chain now has 5 locations and I decided to visit the one in Bella Vista at Shop 5, 29-31 Lexington Drive, Bella Vista to see what it was all about.

Charcoal Chicken

The Charcoal Chicken was one of the must haves when visiting Frango's, this is due to being featured in a wide range of publications from the Daily Telegraph, Sydney Morning heralds good food guide and food Safari. When ordering you can choose the size of chicken you want from a quarter, half or whole. I recommend you get a whole chicken because it is just that good with it having a sticky and salty skin due to being to perfection on charcoal while still being succulent and juicy in the middle.

The Original Portuguese Burger

Alongside the Charcoal Chicken Frango's is known for its chicken burger. The Burger is a soft baked bun with marinated chicken breast piece, iceberg lettuce tomato and cheese in the middle. The sauce in the burger however is star with a mixture of a secret recipe piri piri Chilli sauce and mayonnaise. This combination is great as along with the perfectly cooked and juicy piece of chicken and the fresh shredded lettuce the piri piri sauce provides the perfect amount of spice while then being cooled down by the mayonnaise. The Sauces are even that good that i saw people getting the sauce on top of their hot chips.

Final thoughts

To conclude Frango's is a great Portuguese restaurant with brilliant food from their charcoal chicken to their Portuguese chicken burger with the piri piri chilli sauce and mayonnaise. With the option to eat in or take away and numerous locations across Sydney I will for sure visit again.

TOUKA Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant

Are you a fan of Japanese cuisine and grilled meat? If so, then read along to find out why this restaurant is my personal favourite for an epic Japanese BBQ feed! TOUKA Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant is a little hidden gem that is tucked away into the small streets of Parramatta. It is literally situated in a fancy modern-day historic house, which is set out beautifully, and elegantly. Source: Touka Source: The Fork Not only is the interior extremely luxurious and pleasing to the eye, it is also the delicious food and meat that makes the whole experience amazing. Prices are bit on the steeper side, but it is all well worth it. All dishes were made fresh and delicately. The meat came out presented nicely, and when cooked, it tasted of very high quality. All the meats melt in your mouth, and the wagyu beef selection is definitely something to order when you’re dining here. Friends have similarly agreed and said that it is comparable to...

Roji Monster Ice Cream

Here's something to try: ice cream that tastes just as good as it looks. Located in a small alley close to Gong Cha, Roji Monster Ice Cream Café is a Taiwanese café close to Burwood Station, serving cute monster dessert masterpieces. Although it is Taiwanese based, it is actually a Japanese inspired dessert place! These monsters look really similar to the puppets of the TV show, Sesame Street, and recent, popular posts can be seen via Instagram . There are five flavours to choose from: milk, uji matcha, cocoa, black sesame and a seasonal special, and on top of that, it comes with edible googly eyes and the option for two side toppings. Toppings include lychee jelly, honeycomb rice dumplings, chocolate sauce and many more. When I visited the café, we were directed to the ordering station, where we ordered via stamp cards, i.e. what flavour, and what two toppings we wanted, and then paid at the front counter. The steps can be seen below. Source: Picky Piggies My friend...

Juan Bowl & Tea

This Japanese restaurant is quite small, cosy and intimate. This is also reflected in their menu, as there are only four main dishes and two desserts to choose from. There is however, an extensive range of hot and cold traditional teas. I came for brunch here with 3 other friends so we essentially ordered the whole entire menu except for the Unagi Hitsumabushi bowl (grilled eel). The main dishes were presented so aesthetically well and looked almost like art. Not only did it look fantastic, but it also tasted amazing. My personal favourite was the wagyu bowl – the onsen egg matched perfectly well with the wagyu roasted beef on top of the garlic buttered rice. As mentioned, there are only two desserts to choose from. Although limited with their sweets, both dishes were delicious. The matcha tiramisu was soft and fluffy with just the right amount of green tea matcha to sweetness ratio. The black sesame warabi mochi was unique but was also very ta...
