ATFT turns 2 & someone is going to be a happy goose!
Let’s toast!
Last night, while I was in the Bistro CBD’s kitchen, manically pan frying 20 pork bellies in 4 skillets at the same time, with oil spluttering everywhere, trying to feed 69 hungry mouths at the Food Bloggers’ Dinner Event, A Table For Two has quietly turned 2 years old.
I would never have dreamed about cooking in a professional kitchen two years ago, and the opportunity would never have came without this humble blog, and this humble blog would never have been so active for the last two years without my loyal readers. And that’s you!
I want to keep it short but sweet and from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you all for your support with your witty comments and emails, and to those I’ve met through the blog, thank you for your friendship and become one big fat happy family.
I strongly believe in “giving back”. So to celebrate ATFT’s 2 year old birthday, I would like to reward and give one of my readers anywhere around the world, a brand new KitchenAid Artisan Mixer. You can choose the colour of course. If you think your old mixer in the kitchen is on the way out, or you always dreamt about making those pretty macarons without having to whisk egg white by hand, here’s what you have to do:

A Table For Two (ATFT) is Billy Law's food blog that features best eats in Sydney and around the world with drool-worthy food photography to salivate your appetite. I also throw in a smidgen of my food and travel photography for good measure. Billy Law also happened to be a contestant on MasterChef Australia 2011. 
About a year ago I joined twitter and all the great people I’ve met there & their wonderful blogs and recipes and market stalls and restaurants have been responsible for rekindling my love of cooking. So happy birthday to you, and thanks!
happy blog anniversary…and what a gr8 way to celebrate it…would love a red apple kitchen aid on my kitchen top
Hi there, been reading your blog for awhile now; admiring all those dashing pictures that never fails to make me drool; and yes it all started with the madness of looking for the perfect macarons
So I stumbled upon yours and you’re on my list of food blogs ever since. Well, silently =)
I can’t believe it’s already 2! What a fancy way to celebrate by giving away and a mixer at that >.< Just in the nick of time. Hahaha..my very own down-handed Kenwood just decided to blow up into smoke one day. Right when I need to make an Italian buttercream!!
Anyway I hope you have a celestal birthday
Joyeux Anniversaire!
Congratulations Billy & ATFT! I love reading your gorgeous blog – especially the travel posts. And what a beautiful prize! Perhaps it might boost my baking skills!
And it’s not the terrible twos at all – that’s unauspicious! Think about it from the Chinese phonetics – it’s “easy”. So wishing you a smooth & easy coming year.

Happy 2nd Birthday to ATFT! *Raises a macaron in the air* and cheers to many many more years to come. Congrats on coming this far already Billy.
I currently am still using a hand mixer, one that is as old as I am (that’s like 20+ yrs shhh) because mum blew our mixer stand and everytime I see a Kitchen Aid in the stores I keep looking lovingly at it wishing that one day I could save up enough money to splash out on such a gorgeous looking kitchen item… for now I will keep dreaming that dream.

Happy birthday ATFT!!
To be honest, I came because my friend is an ardent fan of your site and she said I would have better luck at winning coz I found some “gold” at my doorstep. But after reading your blog, I know why now she’s such a big fan of yours. Food is indeed an universal language. Hope to follow this blog for many more years to come!
Yay, A Table For Two turned TWO!!
Congratulations!! Thanks for making making me hungry over food during midnights and voodoo-ing me into my kitchen to whip up something in my own kitchen!
P/s: I AGREE about Malaysians LOVING FOOD!! I AM ONE TOO.
Only two? Seriously? You should just be moving out of diapers, but it seems that you’ve been wearing “big kid pants” for a long time now! You must have an “old blogging soul.” CONGRATS! May the next 2 years be even more wonderful!

Billy, congratulations goes out to you for 2 years of ATFT. You blog is admirable, and inspirational !!
Your prize is also extremely generous and just shows what a delightful & generous person you are.
Here’s to many more years filled with good times & great food !!
I’m no chef and I wouldn’t even say I’m a talented cook. But thanks for inspiring guys like me to ‘give it a go’ in the kitchen, so we can spoil our deserving wives and families with some simple but delicious culinary masterpieces.
Keep up the good work and congratulations on 2 great years of blogs, recipes and beautiful photography!
decisamente due anni di grandi ricette!

How I wish that I can win the KitchenAid mixer
So that I can start kicking myself back
To the kitchen by baking two layers cake

The problem is that it require lots of mixing
Mixing lots of egg yolks and white eggs for
A Table For Two
A Table For Two
I promise to bake these 2 layers cake
For foodbloggers meet-up
And back to my foodblogging days
