Oh My Foodness: HUX Grill

HUX Grill in Penrith steaks its claim as one of Sydney's top steakhouses. 

 

 

 

Started by 2011 MasterChef contestant, Jay Huxley, it boasts bold decor of red walls, black and white prints and cow print seats. 

 

The black cushioned booth backdrop is perfect for a few silly selfies. 

 

 

You could also choose to be a little more refined. 

 

 

Service was exceptional. Upon discovering our squished party of five couldn't handle the booth, another table was promptly joined to ours. Now we had more room for drinks from the bar. 

 

Would HUX meat our MasterChef quality expectations?

According to mum, her meal was, "the best schnitzel I've ever had." There wasn't even a drop of gravy swishing around the plate. 

The generously portioned lamb cutlets were served with a beautiful selection of vegetables. My five year old self would be shocked that I've provided vegetables with such high praise. 

 

The pork ribs were a succulent mess of deliciousness falling off the bone. 

 

A few of us shared the creme brûlée. 

 

We were suspended in a majestic dessert bubble from the first crack of the sleek top layer to the last delicious morsel of dark chocolate mousse with pistachios and strawberries. 

It would be a mis-steak not to visit HUX Grill.

It's Showtime: Singin' in the Rain

Whet your musical theatre appetite with Singin in the Rain. 

 

Showgoers best travel option is to catch the train, followed by a newly discovered star of Sydney's public transport - the light rail. For just over $2 experience the ease and efficiency. 

 

 

The Lyric Theatre is conveniently located near shopping opportunities and a food court. 

 

Complement your pre-show feast with a moreish macaron from Zumbo. 

 

Don't miss the photo op with the leads of the show in their two dimensional form.

 

Located just outside the theatre. Test out a range of poses before the show so you skip the post show lines. 

 

 

Just be careful the umbrella doesn't start to fly away. 

 

Staggered tiered seats of the theatre allowed for unobstructed views of the outstanding production.

 

 

The initial disappointment of not seeing Adam Garcia washed away by Grant Almirall's stellar performance. Gretel Scarlett's sweetly constructed performance a perfect match. Bright pops of colour, flashy dance scenes and the comedic chops of Eric Heynatz and Jack Chambers are sure to leave you awash with joy.

The cast received a well deserved standing ovation after the most incredible curtain call.

My mother's only gripe was the metallic umbrella with the yellow underside used on stage is not available for purchase. Maybe you can settle for this adorable key ring instead. 

 

Splash out on a ticket to Singin in the Rain. Catch the stars as they reign the Lyric Theatre stage at The Star during their Sydney season.
