I have planned to visit the #1 restaurant of the world, El Bulli, but i wonder, when will this plan put into action. The dishes may look funny to some, but this may be the best dining experience ever. It's a combination of food, art and science - we called this Molecular Gastronomy. They have gone to such an extent that even the cutlery have been well taken care of.

#17 Tetsuya’s is voted the best restaurant in Sydney and in Australia. It's a big house, located in the midst of high rise buildings. You wouldn't have thought that this is a restaurant. I have been staying in Sydney for 5 solid years. I have heard of it, I have walked passed it, but I have never tried it. It's a pity though... but I will not miss it again if I ever land my foot in Sydney once more.
Besides #17 Tetsuya’s, Australia has another 2 awesome restaurants in the honored roll and they are both situated in Sydney as well. They are #46 Quay and #94 Pier. My friend and I went to search for the cookbook by Pier at Borders (Wheelock Place) a few weeks ago. We searched high and low but it just couldn't be found. Nevertheless, we managed to find it the next morning at Borders (Parkway Parade). It's a very good book.
#45 Iggy’s is the only restaurant in Singapore to squeeze into the Top 50. Hurray!! Following very closely is the, second Singapore Restaurant in the list, #60 Les Amis. I will definitely give them a try one day.
