Eeek – the Foodies Club will not be attending any of these establishments in the near future!

Read the SMH article – Live crabs stored in restaurant loo

the perfect sandwichOur inaugural feeding will be at Billy Kwong in April 2009. We then will try and get thorugh a list of restaurants that have been suggested, heard about or were so good that we can’t wait to go back. See our current consideration list here at the Feedings page.

All Foodies members agree to the Foodies charter to research, appreciate and enjoy the food.

We will soon be posting reviews to all our feedings on our Restaurant Reviews page.
