A table for two

9 more sleeps… till Taste of Sydney 2012. [Competition is now closed] For the 4th year, Taste of Sydney is back from 8-11 March at Centennial Parklands and this year is looking even more promising and no doubt, more delicious food to be eaten and more fine wine to be drank. And the good news [...]

“Well, today I am going to show you a simple recipe…” Can you see me hosting a cooking show? HA! But more importantly, does this kitchen look familiar to you? I have watched the movie Julie & Julia a million times, I can imagined Julie Powell must be so excited and overwhelmed to see Julia [...]

You! I wanna take you to a gay bar. Well, used to be, not anymore. I am talking about the Flinders Hotel in Darlinghurst. The hotel actually hasn’t been a gay hangout for a long long time since late 2008. I know that well because I used to be a social events photographer that hung [...]

By growing up in Malaysia doesn’t always guaranteed that I am an expert in all Malaysian cuisine, actually no where close. Coming from a Chinese background, my daily diet was still mainly revolved around Chinese food. I barely skimmed the surface of Malay and Indian cuisines and knew nothing more than the usual satay sticks, [...]

ATFT has a new food photography website. I have revamped my photography website and now you can check out my work in full screen glory. It is still in progress and I will keep updating it with new work in future. But most importantly, the ATFT Food Photography Workshops are back! And this year, apart [...]

Children book as menu, how adorable! My not-so-recent trip has brought me over to the western side of Australia to conduct a few cooking demonstrations. Work aside, it was the perfect excuse for me to go and check out what they have to offer on the other side of the world. Surprisingly, I am loving [...]

Have you had a chance to grab a copy of Sunday Telegraph or Herald Sun yesterday? You might have noticed there is a wonderful article by travel photographer and writer Ewen Bell, about my 9-Day Culinary Tour in Malaysia. That article surely got me salivate just by reading it, and yes, “Durian Cheesecake”, I can [...]

Flair, the name itself is probably not the most provocative or original for a restaurant, its location is also not the most eye-catching one either. We have driven past that tiny strip of shops at Erina Heights a million times but never really pay much attention to it. Unless you’ve been tipped off by friends [...]

The G.B.S.C. society. Have you ever asked random strangers that you’ve never met in real life but only corresponded a few times on Twitter out for dinner? Well, I have. Wasn’t sure what they thought of me when I suddenly suggested to ask them out for dinner date. A) a creep, B) a desperate, C) [...]

Join Masterchef’s Billy Law on an exclusive 9-day Culinary Tour in Malaysia – he will share his personal journey in food, love and family in the country where he grew up. If I have to describe my year 2011, these are the words I can think of – random, surreal, spontaneous, hectic, life changing. Last [...]

  Gobble, Quack, Bo-kokkk! I’ve always wanted to roast a Turducken for Christmas, and this year I finally picked up the courage (or being talked into) and tackled the beast! It was a full on 3 days saga but the reward was oh so worth all the effort I put in. Let’s the crazy feasting [...]

Loue maself a Haggis! Can someone tell me where’s the time gone? I only just realised that Christmas is this next Sunday~! Thousand apologies, I know I know… A Table For Two has been a little quiet off late, <iframes> and <borders> are also gathering dusts these days. But I can guarantee you that I [...]

I greet you with an exciting news! I am frequently asked what have I been up to since MasterChef. I am not very good at lying, but whenever that question comes up, I will get flustered and stuttered, my answer is usually vague, awkward and consists of one-word, ‘Busy-lah!‘ … which is true. I’ve been [...]

Keep it ‘Cool’ with Naomi Watts this summer. [Competition is now closed] Everyone has friends, I have a few. My small circle of friends are pretty diverse, some I met through flickr, then some I met through food blogs, and recently I even tried to organise a supper club for the boys that I have [...]
