Rewind and repeat…”R”

Alpha Females

“…the waiters are efficient and personable, not to mention a little cute! Not sure which of these traits made me only a little creeped out when I was taking photos of our Alpha Crew and the waiter told me to go to the bathroom and take photos….of him? Of me in the bathroom? Of other patrons?”

Flailing and failing: treading water in the waiting line…”O”

Group O

“…this instalment of the Alpha meals is quite subversive to the “Rules”. We could have chosen Oceania and tried some Modern Pacific fare, but the lure of seafood yum cha was too much! Anyway, Oceania is not a country so if you are going to break rules, you may as well break them good! Fail #1 [of 4] for the Alpha Group.”
[Review of Alpha Dinner "O"ceania @ Seafood Yum Cha, Pyrmont, Sydney.]
