Shanghai Night, Ashfield - 17 Years Later
restaurant Shanghai Night, Ashfield - 17 Years Later

Shanghai Night is one of the many Shanghai eateries on Liverpool Street in Ashfield and the OG on the strip. It has been a Sydney institution for 35 years after first opening in 1990. And while newer Shanghai restaurants have opened up around it, we still love the original for its well priced, delicious dumplings. So has it changed since the 17 years we last visited? Is it still as good as before? And is it still the place to get a phenomenally cheap, fantastic meal?

All About Olive Oil - Behind the Scenes of How Olive Oil is Made & Judged
Special feature All About Olive Oil - Behind the Scenes of How Olive Oil is Made & Judged

It's not every day that an olive oil producer invites you to visit their olive grove during harvest time. So when the invitation came by email enquiring as to whether I'd like to tour an olive grove and then be cooked a lunch by Gabriel Gate, it was a rather quick and easy decision to say yes! The reason for my enthusiasm is that one of the biggest issues for the Australian Olive Oil industry is the influx of overseas oils which were recently tested by the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) and found to be adulterated or refined with blends of other oils whilst still claiming to be Extra Virgin.
