Nice Italian restaurant @ Vapiano.

Sydney - It was a full flight on SQ and there was no choice left but a middle seat on the exit row.   At least I had leg room.   I was dozing on and off, watched 2 movies and 2 meals and soon, the captain was announcing the arrival into Sydney.

Sydney International airport had e-immigration for approved countries and Singapore is one of them.   I just scanned my passport, got a ticket and walked pass a gate to another gate for a photo take; that's all completed in less than 8 minutes.   Picked up my luggage, zipped through customs and hand over the ticket.   I really liked the e-immigration system.

I waited for another 30 minutes for Lesley and both of us catch the taxi to Four Points Sheraton Hotel.    I never stayed here before -  the rooms are clean and new.  The wireless internet is fast.   It's located near Darling Harbour.   My room faces the beautiful harbour.

We were hungry and walked down King Street and found this Italian restaurant - Vapiano.


It is a German restaurant franchise chain serving Italian food.   At the cashier you pick up a smart card that will record what you ordered.  When I finish my dinner, I handed over the smart card and the cashier will tally how much we have ordered and pay for it.

Margerita Pizza
Olio Olio pasta with prawns
Very delicious and fresh pasta but a bit too dry for me, so I had to add Olive oil to my pasta.  The pizza was nicely baked, thin crusted and crispy.

Value for money:  Reasonable
Ambiance: Good and clean
Worth a 2nd visit: Yes!
