"Quay" @ Sydney, No. 26 The world's 50 best restaurant award 2011

     We had booked the Quay for 3 weeks in advance since we knew that we were going to Sydney.  Rare chance!!  We were on waiting list.  Finally, we got the table with a fantastic view.  The Quay has just got the rank of 26 from the world's 50 best restaurant award 2011 and has been the best restaurant in Sydney for long time...
