Chinta Ria

After an overly long day at work, Giles met me outside my building and we walked across the Pyrmont Bridge to a very popular Malaysian restaurant called Chinta Ria.

I've been there - that was some good eating.

Quite a few people have told me that they consider Chinta Ria their favourite restaurant when they visit Sydney. I guess the Buddha makes it recognisable.

Next time you guys are in this hemisphere, drop by and we'll go there.
