If there ever is a time and place to indulge in culinary excess it is the festive season in France. So coming back to sunny, hot Sydney with more excess weight than the baggage weighed in at the check-in desk, I thought I had better cut back on…well, eating. However, it seems that since I told myself that I needed to go on a diet I’ve been devouring everything in sight. (In fact, the last time I checked- I’ve put on weight.) A particularly memorable example of dieting diligence was a greasy Sunday breakfast of Yum Cha at the Dragon Star Seafood Restaurant in Haymarket. Nothing quite makes a nutritional start to the day as roast Peking duck, pork rolls, steamed buns, BBQ pork, deep fried dumplings and mango and cream pancakes.
The funny thing was that we had all planned to take the 30km Coastal Walk from Bundeena to Otford that day but alas, the rainy weather prevented us from doing so…
