Working with the City of Sydney, Haymarket precinct is currently going through an exciting trans-formation now and for the next coming years, and Haymarket Chamber of Commerce (HCC) is central to representing local businesses and the community during this historic time.

Besides the redevelopment of Darling Harbour with a new Exhibition Centre, Convention Centre and the Sydney Enter-tainment Centre, the area will also see the development of new apartments and student accom-modation with Darling Square.

A significant new amenity will be the new light rail which will be under construction at the same time.

HCC aims to be working and communicating with the key stakeholders in and around Haymarket and ensuring that we represent, engage and inform our members about the progress of these various projects.

We hope that through this unique local guide, you enjoy exploring all that Haymarket has to offer with its diverse range of shops, restaurants and entertain-

ment venues and at the same time continue to appreciate the area’s historic and cultural traditions.

The first edition of Live Work Play last year proved to be a huge success and this second edition really captures all the exciting changes, the diverse nature and fascinating aspects that makes Haymarket one of Australia’s leading destinations to Live, Work and Play.

Benjamin LawAuthor & Haymarket Local

What do you love most about Haymarket as a neighbourhood?I’m Chinese-Australian, so Haymarket feels like a second home to me. I live in the next suburb over, and I can’t tell you how comforting it is to know that some of Sydney’s best ramen, pho and Asian grocers are only a few minutes walk away.We're heard offal is among your favourite foods. How would you describe it to someone who’s never tried it?Oh absolutely — I figure if you’re a meat-eater, you’re obliged to try and appreciate every part of the animal, nose to tail. Offal is basically any part of the animal that isn’t muscle or flesh. Hooves, guts, tongues — that sort of thing. I don’t trust any Vietnam-ese restaurant that doesn’t offer tendons and tripe on the pho menu. It just isn’t right. Same goes with yum cha restaurants. Start off by trying tripe (cow’s stomach) at a yum cha restaurant or in your pho — it’s got such a mild flavour, but a great crunchy, chewy texture like squid. Then graduate to tendons, and the really adventurous should try go on and try — literally — blood and guts.

What are your must-sees in the area?I stop by Paddy’s Markets (open Wednesday to Sunday) every week to get my groceries. You can spend $25 and stock up on all the fruit and veggies you need for the week. You've written about growing up Asian in Australia. Do you think Haymarket is a place that captures this experience? Absolutely. Haymarket is a huge melting pot of Australian and Asian cultures. Just walking into Paddy’s Market’s, for instance, you’ll hear vendors speaking in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, sometimes in the same sentence.

Benjamin Law is the author of two books — The Family Law and Gaysia: Adventures in the Queer East — and the co-author of the comedy book Shit Asian Mothers Say with his sister Michelle. Both of his books have been nominated for Australian Book Industry Awards.

The inner-Sydney bayside suburb of Darling Harbour is set to broaden its focus

beyond retail after being opened up for residential living for the first time in history. Part of a multi-billion dollar plan to revitalise Sydney’s inner CBD, it’s a move that is sure to bring new life into the area.

Located on the south side of Darling Harbour and only a few minutes walk from Haymar-ket, the new urban development project, titled Darling Square, will feature new streets, build-ings, gathering places, shops, restaurants and bars, as well as apartments and commercial space at the current site of the Sydney Entertainment Centre, which will close in 2015.

Its bordering streets and new laneways will connect Darling

Square to the energy and activi-ty of its bustling neighbours.

Darling Square will include four mixed-use development blocks (encompassing retail, commercial and residential podiums, with residential towers above), along with a commer-cial office building, student accommodation and public car parking — all centred around the new public square.

This new urban square is planned to be a respite from the bustling Boulevard to create a contemporary new town square, providing a welcome space for residents and visitors alike.

A new shopping and dining precinct, with an estimated 40 new retail offerings, will support the development, along with new streets and connections that will better join the area to

Did You Know?• It’s the fIrst time Darling Harbour will

be open for residential living.• Darling Square will be built where the

Sydney Entertainment Centre currently stands. The Entertainment Centre closes in 2015.

• The new neighbourhood will be home to around 4000 students and 2000 workers.

• The first buildings will be completed in 2017.

The BoulevardThe Boulevard will be the main pedestrian route between Chinatown, the University of Technology Sydney and Cockle Bay.

It will make navigation easy and provide a new 680 metre north-south connection, unit-ing all parts of the precinct and linking Darling Harbour with the south of the city.

The Boulevard will join the different areas of activity — from Harbourside Place through to Tumbalong Park and the new urban neighbourhood.

Framed by a colonnade of trees, The Boulevard will have distinctive retail ‘gateways’ at either end, to draw people in and maintain a strong level of activity and interest.

surrounding suburbs and the city.The neighbourhood will

become home to around 4000 people, including around 1000 students, thanks to specially designed student accommoda-tion. It will also create around 2000 new jobs in the area.

Along the south western side of Darling Square will be the Goods Line South, the second stage of the revitalisation of a disused industrial railway track, which ultimately connects The Boulevard with Central Station’s Devonshire Street pedestrian tunnel, making much easier to get around this part of Sydney.

Chinatown’s famous Dixon Street is only minutes to the East, and the arrival of thousands of new residents will be much welcomed by the local community of Haymarket.

Ky Chow‘Ex suit’ and business journalist

Where are you from?I was born in Australia. My parents came here in the mid 60s, Dad from Shanghai and Mum from Malaysia.What possessed you to you make the switch from a career in finance to journalism?I’ve always loved reading, writing, public speaking and challenging authority. I don’t think Mum was a big fan of the last attribute, but those are all key skills of a journal-ist. I started my working life in the “safe” profession of accounting, but I’ve learned that the safest profession is one that I love and am good at.How long have you been visiting Haymarket?I’ve been visiting Chinatown since I was a child of the 80s, going there on weekend family excursions. I studied law and ac-counting at UTS during the 90s and in the Noughties, ate almost every Sunday in the Sussex Cen-tre Food Court after Mass at St Peter Julian Catholic Church. It’s always been a part of my life.How have you seen the area change over the years?There have been big develop-ments over the decades, such as Market City, but I’m surprised

how much of Haymarket has stayed the same. Many of the restaurants have stood the test of time, and I like that it hasn’t become as ridiculously ex-pensive and polished as many parts of Sydney. There’s also a lot more other Asian cuisines represented now, such as Malay, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese. What kind of challenges and opportunities are Haymarket businesses seeing?Recreation-wise, Haymarket has always been built around its restaurant scene. Sydney’s CBD continues to grow and so will its appetite for great food, and Chinatown is close to both the business elite but also gentrified hipster hotpots such as Surry Hills. The challenge is Sydney-siders want great service, slick fitouts and constant innovation, particularly in dinner menus, and there’s plenty of Sydney restaurants now offering both. By contrast, many Chinatown restaurants haven’t changed

1414

their decor and menus much in the last 20 years.

The commercial challenge is similar. Haymarket’s Chinese heritage offers a tantalising opportunity to culturally connect with the Chinese who will be such a force in Australia and the world this century. The proximity to the large number of international students at UTS is also a great opportunity.

The challenge is that the biggest influx of people are Mandarin speaking mainland Chinese, whereas Haymarket has been built on Cantonese culture from Hong Kong and South East Asia, and even the gold rush generations. I have faith we can do it. As they say in the Jackie Chan classic Police Story, we all use chopsticks.You’re also a bit of a food lover — any recommendations?I love so many restaurants in Haymarket, from Chinese, Japanese to Korean, so I’ll just name a few. I could easily eat at all the smaller little eateries such as the dumpling outlets in The Prince Centre. I’d happily send people to The Eight for yum cha because it’s got some dishes you just can’t find elsewhere. Mamak has some great curries and Waitan has really come on in terms of the innovative dinner

dishes and slick decor that Sydneysiders love. You recently sat as moderator at the Haymarket Chamber of Commerce 2014 Asia Panel. How did the panel go?Panels on the opportunities of the Asian century are nothing new, but I’ve never seen one with this kind of diversity of perspectives. We had academics, authors, property developers, journalists and entrepreneurs. There were cultures ranging from Anglo- Australian, to Australian Born Chinese to mainland Chinese. We looked at property, the arts, hospitality and local commerce. There is so much to discuss that we just couldn’t cover everything in depth, but that just means there is a bounty of topics for future dis-cussions that a group like the Hay-market Chamber of Commerce is in a unique position to explore.

After a corporate career at Macquarie Bank, CommSec and KPMG, Ky switched to journalism, working at SBS Radio and then Sky News — the first man of Chinese descent to become a reporter in Australian television. Ky is now the multimedia editor for the Australian Financial Review, overseeing business videos atafr.com/videos as part of Fairfax Media’s push into a digital future.

Peter Wong of P&G Mode Realty shared the following tips for those looking to invest or move into the area.

For BuyersEnsure that you find a long established, reputable real estate agency in the area – they would have knowledge about the different building complexes, accommodation, regulations and laws, and facilities available.

For RentersBe sure to inspect the property, ask about the rules and regulations of the build-ing, don’t sign anything you don’t understand and only pay a cash deposit once you have been approved by the agent.

Jack LeeBusiness Broker, Benchmark

What is your background and how did you end up in Australia?I was born in Malaysia, I’m third generation Malaysian Chinese. Shamefully, I must admit the main reason that my parents sent me to Australia for Univer-sity was because my sister was already here in Australia and they believed they needed my sister to monitor my studies (they were right!).How do you tap into the diversity of cultures in Haymarket in your line of work?Haymarket has been paving the road of multicultural integration, especially Chinese and Australian culture. My role as a business broker is exactly the same. I bring Chinese capital into Australian companies who have the local expertise and skillset to offer the best invest-ment opportunities. Over 80% of my investors are Chinese. Does Haymarket offer any unique challenges or opportunities?Challenges and opportunities are two sides of the same coin. As a business person, our task is solving problems — the bigger the problems, the bigger the rewards. In Haymarket, we still see the traditional Chinese way of running business where

connections and relationship play a very important role, something I love. It can take newcomers a bit of effort in the beginning, but with consistency and the right attitude, we will see how much value people in Haymarket put on relationships.What about Haymarket evokes a sense of ‘home’ for you?I love the night market, with its street foods and hawker stalls… this is something I really miss about Asia. We can’t find this vibe anywhere else in Sydney. What sights in Haymarket simply cannot be missed?Other than the countless great restaurants — in ten years I still havn’t managed to try them all, if you have a chance to visit during Chinese New Year you must check out the Twilight Parade and Dragon Boat Race.

Golden CenturyWith wall-to-wall tanks teeming with all manner of ocean fare, Golden Century is a seafood lover’s dream, well renowned for its lobster sashimi, steam-boat abalone and Tasmanian giant crab. For fresh seafood on a budget, go for XO pippies or live prawns. Open daily til 4am, it’s a popular late night spot and a well known haunt for visiting celebrities as well as some of the world’s top chefs, counting Jamie Oliver and Anthony Bourdain alongside locals Neil Perry and Dan Hong among those who sing their praises. 393-399 Sussex St, Haymarket 9281 1598

Old Town Hong KongOld Town offers a fresh take on authentic Hong Kong cuisine, adding a subtle fusion twist to classic Cantonese dishes. It is split into three separate kitch-ens each with its own specialty, covering handmade dim sum and desserts, Chinese BBQ, and wok fry. The duck buns are to die for — tender with oh-so-crispy skin thanks to a specialised oven imported from Hong Kong. The multi-million dollar fitout is evocative of colonial era Hong Kong, right down to the furniture which was custom made and imported from India. 10A Dixon Street, Haymarket 9264 3888

Yum Cha (饮茶) A southern Chinese style morning or afternoon tea, which combines tea drinking with eating Dim Sum dishes. Yum cha literally means ‘drink tea’. It is also known, more poetically as ban ming (品茗), meaning the ‘tasting of tea’.

Emperor’s GardenWhether you’re looking for a yum cha breakfast or a late night feed, Emperor’s Garden has classic Cantonese fare covered. For something sweet, try the custard filled Emperor’s Puffs from the attached bakery,

but be warned — the queue has been known to snake down Dixon St at all times of day. Head down to Thomas St for Cantonese BBQ, where you can also grab a whole duck or other BBQ snacks such as cuttlefish or duck tongues to take away.

Stephen ChanHead Chef, Emperor’s Garden

How long have you been living in Australia? I moved here 25 years ago, in 1989.When did you become a chef? I got into the industry back in Hong Kong when I was 15. I’ve been head chef at Emperor’s Garden the past 4 years. Where are you from and how has that influenced your cooking?I come from Guangdong, in the East of China, so I’m a seafood lover. Guangdong has a long coastline and rich variety of sea-food — an important material for the delicacies in Guangdong cuisine. Paddy’s Fish Market is my favourite place to shop.Do you have a favourite item on your menu to recommend?Xiaochao huáng (小炒皇) — the Cantonese Stir-fry. Where I’m from, family is very important. This is a delicious seafood stir fry

made to be shared with family and friends — sliced cuttlefish, shrimp, anchovies, bean sprouts and fresh crisp vegetables, which you can enjoy as a main course or a snack with a cold beer.What is unique about Cantonese cuisine?Cantonese food is fresh and crisp — it’s all about making the most of the natural flavours of each ingredient rather than relying on a lot of sauce or other additives.

Three Lanes and Seven AlleysThe Tang dynasty architecture of the three lanes and seven alleys of Fuzhou from which this tiny Fujian-Chinese restaurant took its name are illustrated beautifully on the walls. Choose a bowl of soup with rice noodles accompanied by a side of offal, tender pork intestines, beef tongue or marinated duck gizzard. Less brave eaters should try the crunchy marinated black fungus. Don’t miss the stinky tofu — the chefs’ take on the infamous fermented tofu sold by Chinese street-vendors. 50 Dixon Street Haymarket 9281 7770

Two Sticks Two Sticks’ signature dish is its rice noodle soup, known in Yunnan, Southern China as ‘crossing the bridge noodles’. Legend has it that this hotpot recipe came about when the wife of a scholar was trying to find a way to keep the noodles hot while delivering meals to his island study. Folk tales aside, it’s a hearty bowl of chicken broth with chunky rice vermicelli, thinly sliced beef and chicken, pickled vegetables and quail egg in a chicken and pork broth. Try a side of beef or cucumber with hot and numbing sauce — made up of a spicy blend of chilli and sichuan pepper oil, it tastes exactly as the name says. 694 George St, Haymarket 79 Quay Street, Haymarket 9281 7770

Attention dumpling loversMichelin starred Hong Kong dim sum eatery Tim Ho Wang is coming to Sydney, opening on George St October 2015.

272626

Di WangStart by choosing from one of four soups on offer, then it’s time to choose how to fill your steaming hotpot. There are many ingredients to choose from, including many cuts of meat, assorted vegetables and other treats, like dumplings, black sesame and mochi balls and lotus chips, making it a great place to share with friends. In Taiwanese fashion, you’ll also find complimentary rice plus a wide range of condiments. 34/1 Dixon St, Haymarket 9261 0888

Happy Chef Seafood NoodleThis humble hole-in-the-wall tucked away in Sussex Street food court might not look like much, but don’t let appearances fool you — it’s considered by many to be one of Sydney’s best-kept secrets. Happy Chef offers an enormous menu of mixed Asian cuisines and more noodles than you can poke a chopstick at. Famous for its Laksa, you’ll also find Cambodian style combination soup and wontons galore. F1A/401 Sussex St, Haymarket

3Q ChickenThis popular Taiwanese snack has made its way to Sydney, beside George Street’s Event Cinema. Grab yourself a piece of crispy golden fried chicken. For authen-tic Taiwanese flavour ignore the various sauces and ask for plum powder; it’s sweet and tangy with a chilli kick. Try with a side of squid balls or fried mushrooms. 505 George St, Sydney

2828

Petaling StreetSydney’s best laksa can be a hotly debated topic, but we will put it out there — this one is hard to beat. Named after Kuala Lumpur’s own Chinatown, Petaling Street is all about au-thentic Malaysian hawker food, offering plenty of favourites such as koay teow, nasi lemak, and Hainanese chicken rice. 760 George St, Haymarket 9280 1006

MamakWatching Mamak’s chefs at work as they flip the roti, it’s not surprising to see the faces of enthralled onlookers pressed against the window of the street-facing kitchen. While famous for their fluffy golden

roti with curry, Mamak has other Malay favourites covered too — their satay sauce is on par with any of the hawker’s markets in Kuala Lumpur. If you have a sweet tooth, try the Malay coffee. 15 Goulburn St, Haymarket 9211 1668

Tak pedas tak sedapSome like it hot — this Malay expression means ‘not spicy, not yummy'. Can you take the heat?

2828 29

ArisunThe recent rise of hotspots such as Mary’s and Hartsyard in Newtown has sent Sydney into a real craze for southern American style fried chick-en. The Korean style chicken that Arisun is famous for is something different, double flash-fried in a light batter that lets the chicken soak up season-ings such as soy, chilli or wasabi and mayonaise. Throw in a side of BBQ pork belly and wash it down with a beer and soju (Korean vodka) cocktail. With huge serving sizes made to be shared and its outdoor beer garden, Arisun is ideal for a night out with friends. 1 Dixon St, Haymarket 9264 1588

DaeJangKum Korean BBQMeat lovers are for a treat at DaeJangKum, with many different cuts of meat on offer, from the staple marinated beef bulgogi, to sliced Wagyu and ribs. Some Koreans don’t consider a meal to be complete

without a side of kimchi, don’t be shy about helping yourself to the banchan (반찬), unlimited side-dishes of kimchi, rice and more. 35 Goulburn St, Haymarket 9211 0890

KoreatownKorea Town is located on Pitt Street, between Bathurst and Goulburn Streets and also extends to Liverpool Street between George and Elizabeth Streets.

Bae to jeo sso (배터져) Belly full of bulgogi? You can try this Korean phrase to say I ate too much — literally ‘my stomach is exploding!’

Did you know?The Korean Cultural Office hosts regular Korean cinema nights, cooking and language lessons, and art exhibitions. 255 Elizabeth St, Sydney 8267 3400

MizuyaKaraoke meets Izakaya-style dining at Mizuya. Izakaya is all about snack style food served with drinks, which explains the impressive bar menu, featuring over 200 drinks and cocktails on offer via the touch screen order-ing system — which should be more than enough liquid courage to get you onto the microphone to belt out some karaoke. 614 George St, Sydney 9266 0866

GumsharaIt is rumoured that Chef Mori Hogashida made over 100,000 bowls of ramen while training as a chef at Japanese ramen chain Muteppou. There are sev-eral styles available, but you’re coming here for the tonkotsu — Gumshara’s infamous gravy-like pork bone stock uses 120kg of pork bones a day and has been responsible for many a food coma. Add a chilli bomb for an even more intense flavour. Shop 211, Eating World 25-29 Dixon St, Haymarket

Peko Peko (ペコペコ)All this food making you hungry? This onomatopoeic phrase is the sound your grumbling stomach makes!

UmiSushi lovers are in for a treat at any of Umi’s three restaurants, with artfully prepared sushi and sashimi that tastes as good as it looks. Rice wrapped with salmon sashimi and topped with roe looks almost too good to eat, and the made-to-order soft shelled crab handrolls are a crunchy delight to bite into. Take the time to explore the menu as each store has its own specialties on offer.Umi Kaiten Zushi 477 Pitt St, Haymarket 9281 2006Umi Sushi + Udon 10/1-25 Harbour St, Haymarket 9283 2006Umi Express Event Cinema Complex, 505 George St Sydney

Haru InukaiOwner & Chef, Ramen Ikkyu

Where are you from and ow did you end up in Australia? I was born in Nagano, Japan.I first came in 1991 on a work-ing holiday. I married here and have 2 children now. My wife and daughter help at the shop sometimes.Ramen has a cult following with hungry noodle eaters and the chefs who make it — what’s the secret to the perfect bowl?Perfect? Perfect is hard! I have 25 years experience in fine dining, but I find making fresh noodles more difficult, it’s different every time. This is why I love making noodles.What is the history of ramen?Noodle soup first came to Japan from China around 100 years ago. We changed the taste to suit localised Japanese style and ingredients — each region has its own style and flavours.

What’s the best thing about having a shop in Haymarket?While Yokohama (Tokyo’s Chinatown) is around double the size, it's more multicultural here. In just one week I can see people from Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, mainland China and Hong Kong. Lately a lot of European customers are coming for ramen.

Ramen IkkyuChef Haru closed the doors of French-Japanese fine dining restaurant Blancharu to open this tiny hole-in-the-wall ramen offer-ing located in Sussex Streets’ food court — now that is love. There are several different styles on offer including Shoyu (salt-based), Paitan (a style of tonkotsu made from a mix of pork and chicken bones) and miso. If you finish your noodles you can order a free kae-dama (替え玉) for a free top-up, though the soup is so rich that many would struggle to find room to fit it. The salmon ramen is a unique offering, and the handmade pork gyoza are second-to-none. F1A, Sussex St Food Court, 401 Sussex St, Haymarket 31

ThaitownThaitown can be found along Campbell Street, Haymarket. As well as being home to many restaurants, you will also find Thai grocers and video stores. Thaitown also celebrates many Thai festivals throughout the year, most notably the Thai New Year celebration Songkran (สงกรานต์) each April. Keep an eye out for Chat Thai’s soon-to-open Jarern Chai Grocer which will stock specially imported Thai products that are otherwise hard to find.

Chat ThaiEstablished in 1989, the origi-nal location of Chat Thai’s five restaurants around town sits, quite appropriately, in the heart of Sydney’s Thaitown. Inspired by Thai streets and markets as well as regional cuisine, the food is fragrant, spicy and deli-cious. Don’t forget to save room for something sweet from the recently added dessert kitchen. 20 Campbell St, Haymarket 9211 1808

GOODGOD Small ClubThe go-to party spot for Syd-ney’s cool kids and fashionistas, GOODGOD is a place you will hear the latest bands and DJs from all over the world. As well as the Danceteria, you’ll also find Jamaican-American chef Damion Brown’s recently opened Jonkanoo Caribbean Canteen. 55 Liverpool St, Haymarket 9283 8792 Dynasty KaraokeWhat instantly sets Dynasty apart from other karaoke joints around town is the giant centre-stage — perfect for all aspiring divas and crooners out there to live out their pop-idol dreams. While it's a popular spot for corporate functions, it is crowded most nights with casual karaoke-goers out for a good time (not to mention the occasional celebrity). Dynasty has a wide selection of songs in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. 63 Dixon St, Haymarket 9281 9006

The BearA converted storeroom in the back of a Chinatown laneway might seem an odd place to find this tiny Euro style bar, which according to owner Andy Curtis — formerly of London’s Nordic Bar — is what makes it such a great location. The Bear has a cosy setting, decked out with kitschy Alpine inspired decor that doesn’t take itself too seriously — this is a bar for un-pretentious fun. The drinks list offers wines, a handful of craft beers plus a cocktail list featur-ing a mix of signatures and well known classics. There are also European inspired snacks on of-fer, and if you ask nicely Andy will order you dumplings from nearby Chinese Noodle House. Thomas Lane, Haymarket 0451 948 588

Jessie XiaoRestauranteer, Bar Owner andVice President of Haymarket Chamber of Commerce

You’re a busy woman Jessie! That’s right — I run three sushi bars under the Umi brand, Mizuya Japanese Restaurant, Dynasty Karaoke, K One Karaoke and K Square. I rarely finish work before midnight. Anywhere between 1 and 2am is normal for me. With so many venues you must have had some famous visitors?Jessica Mauboy is a regular customer at Mizuya. We also see a lot of famous Japanese actors there. Being close to the entertainment centre we some-times get famous singers come to Dynasty to kick on and party after their shows.What other kind of people come into your venues?Haymarket is a very, very vibrant place. As well as locals and overseas visitors, people come from all over Sydney to visit. Being so central we get a real mix of customers all the time. We obviously see a lot of Chinese customers. During the day we see a lot of uni students from UTS and office workers. After hours tends to be a lot Asians and corporate customers that come in after work.

What do you find so special about Haymarket?The best thing about Haymarket is that it is constantly busy. Other areas of the city are busy at lunch but dead the rest of the day, but Haymarket remaind pretty constant during the day right until the early morning.What’s your favourite karaoke numberI can’t be singing every day — if that was the case I don’t think I’d be running too many busi-nesses — but when I do, I like to stick with the old classics — I have to admit most of the new songs are too fast for me!

Carolyn KellyGeneral Manager, Surfside Hotel Group

What does Haymarket’s nightlife have on offer?Haymarket is a very safe place to visit during the night and the early hours of the morning. Many of the local businesses are open late. How has the area changed over the past years? The area has become busier, so there is increased road traffic, but I have also noticed a lot more people walking on the streets. This is tremendous for local businesses.Favourite restaurant in the area?I really enjoy having lunch or dinner at 9 Noodle House on Goulburn Street, and of course Golden Century on Sussex Street is great for a celebration. The food and service at both restaurants is impeccable. And the best place for a drink?I often meet friends at Terrace Bar on Level 2 of Market City Tavern to watch sports and have a bet. It is one of the few venues in Chinatown where you can have a smoke.Have you seen any famous faces around Haymarket?Actors Heath Ledger and Rose Byrne filmed the movie Two Hands in Chinatown in 1999.

We’d often see them coming in for a drink at the the Star Hotel — this was before they were famous.

Cultural Sites in HaymarketChinese Garden of FriendshipFind a moment of serenity amongst the Ming Dynasty style architecture, cool lagoons and running waterfall of the Chinese Gardens, the idyllic beauty in contrast to the city sky-scrapers looming over the walls. 1 Exhibition Place, Darling Harbour

Golden Water MouthThis sculpture by artist Lin Li signifies a Yin and Yang harmony of Australian and Chinese culture. The dead yellow box gum tree used was brought from Condoblin NSW, where many Chinese settled during the 19th century gold rush. Sussex Street, Haymarket

4A Centre for Asian Art4A aims to stimulate cross-cultural understanding through promoting Asian and Asian-Australian art. Its community engagement has forged 4A as a locally and internationally respected platform for emerging artists. 181 — 187 Hay Street, HaymarketPictured: 23 Ming Vases for Little Horse (2014) Artist: Sarah Contos. Photo: Zan Wimberly

In Between Two WorldsChinese-Aboriginal artist Jason Wing celebrates his mixed heritage in this installation of thirty glowing half- human, half-spirit figures floating above Kimber Lane, representing past, present and future ancestors. The cloud patterns on the walls and surface represent the heavens and good luck. Kimber Lane, Haymarket

Visitor Information KioskIn the middle of Chinatown's Dixon Street you can find this tourist information booth featuring traditional Chinese paper-cut artwork by Pamela Mei-Leng See, an Australian artist of Chinese heritage. There you will find maps, brochures on activities and helpful staff who can assist with information on local attractions. Corner Sussex and Goulburn Sts
