As soon as you walk into IconPark, you see a range of
vibrant coloured food behind the glass display. Couldn't wait to dig into the
food!
What's IconPark?
Eateries can operate in IconPark’s location for around 3
months and in doing so, they get tons of media and customer support before they
open the doors at a permanent location. Rent is usually the biggest constraint
when opening a business and operating with IconPark, they can earn enough to
cover first few months of rent. What a great idea for businesses!
It aims to serve slow cooked quality meal in a fast food style environment, which is fantastic
for those who are time limited. Their menu change weekly according to the
market and chefs' inspiration.
It's also licensed so do have a drink with lunch if you have
time!

White
wine and juniper braised lamb with salsa verde;Root
vegetable salad with olive soil and leaves and Cumin roasted heirloom carrots with feta and toasted almonds |
Check out the beautiful presentation! The braised lamb was
so succulent and went well with the
tasty salsa verde. Slow roasting of carrots enhanced the lovely sweetness of
the vegetable and I loved the saltiness from the feta.
Root vegs includes beetroot and parsnip. Their olive soil is made from crushed preserved
kalamata olives, it was so good I couldn't get enough of it!

Sumac
crusted chicken with rosemary tzatziki; Pearl
cous cous, house preserved lemons, figs, pistachio & spinach and Broccoli, lemon and toasted almonds |
Where to start on this delicious dish, everything was just so good! The sumac crusted
juicy chicken was cleaned to the bone by my colleague (Ms. Y) and myself.
Man, that preserved lemon and cous cous was just a perfect combination. And with sweet
figs, I could eat this salad everyday!!
I love the tangy lemon dressing with the broccoli and the nuts they put into
almost every salad adds a crunchy element to the dish.
We finished off with this interesting crackle. I was hit
with both sweet and savory flavours, which I don't mind but it was a bit salty
for Ms. Y who I brought along with me.
Didn't get to try this but it looks lovely!
This is how the pricing works - $15 for all 4 salads; Chicken + 2 Salads $21 Dine In or $19 Takeaway; Lamb + 2 Salads $19 Dine In or $17 Takeaway.
The price is good considering the excellence of the food,
Ms. Y and I walked out feeling very satisfied! They are here till end of March,
I would definitely come back to support this place and have that gorgeous cous
cous salad again.
Thank you Julie from
6dc for the lovely invite. All comments are based on my own opinions.

Dear Felicia,
ReplyDeleteThe sumac crusted chicken sounds awesome and flexibility of combining salads with mains has been around food courts in Asia for yonks. It's about time more cafes in Sydney do that.
I know right! Loved the environment in the cafe too :)
DeleteDefinitely healthy choice for office ladies/gentlemen! xoxo Ms Yun
ReplyDeleteYes Ms Yun! Glad you came with me hehe
