We arrived in Sydney just after midday, and having deposited our luggage at the hotel (Medina Central, fantastic location, awesome rooms, don't accidentally steal from the mini bar like I did) we wandered down George St to sate my desire to throw myself into the loving book shelves of Kinokuniya. We weren't there long, however, before we started getting really, really hungry. C and N wandered off, claiming vego food would not sustain them,* whilst D, E and I went in search of Mother Chu's Vegetarian Restaurant.
Mother Chu's is a tiny restaurant on Pitt Street. The menu is filled with delights and their mock fish comes out in the shape of a fish. The items on the menu are reasonably priced, with each of our mains costing about $10.
D opted for the chili noodle claypot, which was spicy but delicious. E accidentally ordered too much food, ending up with the avocado and corn soup, which was odd but tasty, and a cashew rice made with brown rice, which was awesomely flavoursome.
I ordered the wonton noodle soup, which was just the right amount of noodle, vegetable and wonton and I ate the whole thing, and then proceeded to roll out of there, committing to a stately waddle back in to town, on our pilgrimage to the Apple store.

*they went to HJ's instead

I've heard about this place. Someone told me it's the best vegan restaurant in Sydney. I will also have to try this when I get to Sydney next (whenever that may be).
I had not heard very much about it before I went, so it was just a great surprise to have such a great meal!
Steph,
This is probably the veg restaurant I went to when I was in Sydney. That was long long time ago, 1998, I think. But the name of the restaurant sounds familiar. We've only been to Sydney once and want to come back again. Thanks!
No worries! I hope you get a chance to go again soon. :o)
