I love this place. I was first introduced to Yellow back in November and have been a massive fan since. I love driving up to it and seeing the bright yellow exterior and the amazing grates over the balconies on the upper floors.

Today I was taking my sister and one her friends (they are both visiting from their home away from home - London) to Yellow for the first time. I was excited as I hoped they would love this place as much as I do and be bowled over the food.

Potts Point has received so much attention lately with the crop of new cafes/ restaurants in Maclay St and Challis St e.g. Lotus.

We ordered a variety of dishes so we could try them all - Crab & papaya stack; wanton broth; pork, fennel & onion salad - they were beautifully presented and all tasted amazing. We all enjoyed swapping dishes and trying a bit of everything.

The thing I like about Yellow is that the meals are not too large. This means that you can still indulge in a dessert - today we outdid ourselves with slices of New York cheese cake; chocolate, macadamia & caramel tart; and lemon tart. Each one was sensational in their own right and we enjoyed their coffee too - Single Origin Roasters.

Judging from the empty plates I'd say we have a winner!

You know a place is good when you seen reknowned chef, author, TV presenter - Kylie Kwong enter and chat to the staff for ages.....
