A table for two

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 Pom is going back to Pommieland for 2 weeks for his mum’s birthday and decided to fly back unannounced to give her a big surprise. I would have loved to go along with him, but since I’ve just got back from New Zealand for Wellington On a Plate, and it would also be difficult [...]

I ♥ YULE. Celebrating Christmas in July here in Australia makes absolutely perfect sense. For those who migrated to Australia from the Northern Hemisphere will never get used to having Christmas in a scorching hot summer in December. The Pom who has moved here for more than 9 years still prefer hot roast dinner with brussel [...]

Sometimes I am a little skeptical about going to a restaurant with mockery name just to lure customers in. Possibly not intentional, the fat goose in Killcare is rather ballsy to have its name almost as close to the famous three Michelin stars restaurant, The Fat Duck runs by Heston Blumenthal, the culinary alchemist. Duck, [...]

Is grass always greener on the other side? Because there is an award-winning restaurant literally 400 meters down the street from my house, but somehow I am still getting inside the car and drive 1.5 hours into Sydney for dinner. Two years, with a very good reason, I finally have my first dinner at Onda [...]

Little did you know that A Table For Two actually turned one just over a month ago before I left for my vacation. I would like to thank you all for your support by keep dropping by at my little humble food blog regularly since day one. Especially the Sydney Foodbloggers who I’ve met and [...]

Ahoy! Shiver me timbers! Work has been hectic for the last couple of weeks and thank god me finally got the chance to breathe and relax a bit on the last weekend. Well, “relax” is probably not the right word, but I definitely had such great time cruising on a house boat with me hearty [...]

I’ve heard there is a Pie in the Sky spotted in Cowan, but this extraterrestrial sighting is spreading and I personally spotted a Pie in the Sky at Erina too! This kind of sighting happens now and again, but more often during rainy days. The luring of hot steamy chunky beef encrusted in flaky pastry, [...]

It is TGIF PLF – I called it the Pub Lunch Friday! The battered food, the amber liquid, and the extra hour long lunch relaxing in the beer courtyard soaking up the sun, what not to love about PLF?! Not to mention, the local hotel is only few paces down the hill from our place, [...]

“Oohhhh look, there’s flame in the Satay Chicken!” The Satay Chicken arrives in a plate looks just like a shallow Chiffon cake tin, with violet flame slowly burning in the center. The satay chicken taste rather piquant and unusual with strong sherry flavour used for the burning flame. We looked at each other speechless, we [...]

It’s Valentine’s Day, and it’s raining; it is cold and miserable, which also means is Yum Cha day! In Central Coast, you won’t have the dilemma of deciding which Chinese restaurant to go to for Yum Cha, because as far as I am concerned, there is only one restaurant in central coast that offers daily [...]

“Cheers!”- a contagious chant and the clinking sound of wine glasses are still ringing in my ears from this year Terrigal Food and Wine Fair. This event also marked a year since I moved up to Central Coast. We were informed by the real estate agent about this event last year while inspecting the new [...]

A nice and warm sunny Sunday, a perfect day to go fishing… well, fish & chips that is. In central coast, you will have no trouble finding fish and chips shops. Despite there are so many fish and chips shops in the coast, I am still yet to find the best one. Hence, we set [...]
