Gary Macris first established the concept of “Greek Yum-Cha” in his restaurant “Enigma 88” at Brighton Le-Sands in 1997. While in this smaller restaurant, Gary developed his cooking style and developed modern and creative ways of presenting traditional Greek cuisine. With the help of family and friends, Gary’s concept took shape. Before long, Enigma 88 was buzzing and “Greek Yum-Cha” had become the talk of the town.
Guest Comment:”Best Greek food ever tasted. Wait staff
more than happy to cater for all our needs,
our party at Opah was a very big success.
We plan to spend many afternoons eating

exceptional, friendly and efficient. The food and cocktails were
fabulous. Nothing was a bother and the food was exquisite. We
were last to leave, but that didn’t seem to be a problem. The
whole restaurant is world class.”

OPAH“My family and I went to Opah on a Saturday night and very
much enjoyed our experience! The service was great. The food
was to die for and there was so much of it. The bar is gorgeous!
The view is stunning and I highly recommend it.”
Jamie, Kareela
HOT ROX“I am a meat eater and pride myself on my BBQ skills. To this point
I have visited many all you can eat meat houses and none (in my
opinion) can cook meat like I do I my beloved BBQ. However, I
ate at HOT ROX Brazilian BBQ and was amazed at the freshness,
quality and taste of the meats that continually come around.
Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Steak, and so on until you say stop…..
Sooo tender and perfectly marinated and what’s more all for
$35.. Unbelievable value. Food, service and atmosphere was
unbeatable… And yes it was better than my own BBQ cooking.”
Luke, Sylvania Waters
DOUGH AUTHENTIC LEBANESE PIZZA“Authentic Lebanese Pizza… who would have thought? This
place is sensational. So cheap and so tasty. They also do
traditional pizzas which are so cheap and have to be the best I
have had in the Shire. We ate in and the service was unrivalled.
They could not do enough for us and were kid friendly giving the
kids special kids plates and cutlery to make them feel special.
Great food and service. I will be back”

Fine Food, Fine Wine & Your Waistline Is it possible to enjoy fine food whilst maintaining
a healthy waistline?
The answer is YES however it is dependent on the
choices you make in regards to the menu, the
regularity of your alcohol consumption and your
specific exercise habits.
In these modern times, restaurants will offer
a selection of meals sourced from fresh,
flavoursome and often organic produce,
however if your waistline is of importance there
are a few items you should attempt to avoid.
Firstly avoid meals with high levels saturated fat.
They include pork belly, duck and many deep
fried items such as ‘salt & pepper squid’ or deep
fried fish. Meals high in saturated fat are very
dense and will lead directly to fat gain.
Meals containing high levels of starchy
carbohydrate should also be avoided (pastas,
noodle or rice dishes). The body can only store
limited amounts of carbohydrate with any
excess being stored as body fat.
When eating out attempt to include proteins
sources such as seafood (prawns, oysters,
scallops, tuna, salmon or lobster) or lean meats
like chicken, turkey or beef.
Do not neglect your fresh fruit and vegetables
as they remain a great source of vitamins and
minerals.
Also never be afraid to request a dish cooked
to your specific requirements. Chefs are usually
more than accommodating when it comes to
satisfying individual nutritional desires.
The occasional glass of wine with a nice meal
not have you packing on the kilos. Drinking
regularly however, will make it
increasingly difficult to shed
kilos. This is due to the body
using the stored calories from
the alcohol as its primary fuel
source. Calories consumed
through food (and alcohol)
will then be stored by the body
with the end result being an
expanding waistline.
When consuming alcohol, better options include
low carbohydrate or low alcohol beer or a spirit
with a diet mixer.
Always remember that moderation with both
food and alcohol are vitally important.
Keeping your waistline in check does not just rely
on a sensible diet. Regular exercise is required to
keep those excess kilos at bay.
Here in the Sutherland Shire we are blessed with
an array of exercise environments to keep you
active.
Whether it is kayaking on the Port Hacking,
running or walking on the Esplanade at Cronulla,
surfing at our beautiful beaches, swimming in our
ocean baths, taking your bike to the cycleway
at Sutherland or bush walking through the Royal
National Park, the Shire has it all.
Whatever exercise you enjoy, ensure it is fun yet
challenging and completed at regular intervals.
If you follow these simple tips you really will be
able to enjoy your fine food and keep those
excess kilos at bay. Happy dining.

Is it true Anthony Rodriquez, General Manager at Sylvania BMW was once a trained chef? Yes, I had 6 years experience inthe kitchen prior to working at Sylvania BMW.
What’s cooking at Sylvania BMW? 2009 has been a very exciting and busy year forus, launching the new BMW 7 Series in March and BMW Z4 Roadster in May and the Government’s 50% tax break has providedus with some exciting opportunities for our small business customers with a turnover less than $2M per annum, meaning you could be eligible before 31 Dec 09.
BMW is also set to release the BMW X1 in March 2010 ,so we are in early planning stages for this model launch.
Favourite ingredient? Basil
Favourite Sutherland Shire eatery? There are so many great options to choose from in the Sutherland Shire, but I am partial to a great café over looking the water serving excellent coffees.

‘THE SHIRE’S DISCOUNT CHEMIST’
ExcitingLUNCHBOX IDEASQ: My six-year-old son is complaining that his
lunch is boring and the other children have
fun stuff in their lunchboxes. Got any tips on
creating some excitement for him?
A: When my oldest son was in kindergarten he
would not eat anything but a tossed salad for
lunch. What a lunch box challenge that was. I
came to find out that his interest was not held
by the crisp veggies that I painstaking prepared
each morning, but by the amusement of his
classmates when he opened his Tupperware
tube of salad dressing. The tube was COOL!!
Here is a lesson to be learned. The eye appeal
of the dish is as important as the nutrition. If it
looks good - it tastes better!! Here are a few
suggestions:
Circle Sandwiches
Make your child’s favorite sandwich and cut
it into interesting shapes. Create circles on
Monday, triangles on Tuesday and maybe heart
shapes on Wednesday. What a fun learning
experience especially when after awhile you
“forget” and make a triangle sandwich on
Friday!
SummerSALAD IDEA
Wrap It Up
Roll your child’s favorite combination of cheeses,
turkey or veggies in a tortilla shell.
Unpack A Surprise
Place a fresh flower, a brightly colored bandana
for a placemat, a special sticker, or just an “I Love
You” post-it-note in his lunchbox. Your child will
have a special reason to unpack his lunch
everyday!
