Savoring flavors of Australia

I was thrilled by your piece celebrating the cuisine of Australia [“Oz at the Head of the Table,” Sept. 25].

We are set to travel to Sydney again in February -- our fifth trip in five years. We have lived there for two months at a time and savor the food there. Even the food in the malls or food halls is superb.

I read the letter from a Melbourne citizen in the Oct. 2 Travel section. He said that Melbourne is far superior to Sydney as far as culinary fare. He cited the Flower Drum. He is correct about that restaurant. We ate there last year. However, wherever you travel to in the major cities of Australia you will be knocked out by their cuisine.
