Anniversary dinner at China Doll.

On Thursday night we celebrated our ten year anniversary at China Doll, Woolloomooloo Wharf.

Firstly, parking in that area is a bitch, we made a booking for 7pm as we thought it would be quieter then but no, it was hectic, we rang the restaurant to say we were running late and if they knew of anywhere to park. The guy on the phone suggested Lincoln Cres and we found a lucky park for only $1.10 per hour! Gotta love that!

I have always wanted to go to China Doll because I've heard many great things about them and the food was amazing! and we had a dinner voucher given to us for an engagement present, so it was the perfect time to use it. The view of the city skyline was beautiful, it was a chilly night and they originally had us outside but my feet were freezing, they were lovely and moved us into a table inside. I swear it was about 8 degrees!

Here are some snapshots from the night.


It's so hard eating dinner in those little bowls but they're great for my portion control!

We had a lovely night however disappointed that it took over an hour and a half to get our mains! There were three large groups who ordered banquets who all arrived after us, got served their mains before us?

It was fine in the end, D and I had great time talking about his proposal the year before and about our ten awesome years together..
