A table for two » Central Coast

Flair – Erina, Central Coast, NSW

Billy — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:45:44 +0000

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 [...]

Bells at Killcare – Killcare, Central Coast, NSW

Billy — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 03:58:18 +0000

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 [...]

It’s Christmas in July! A Yuletide dinner party at ATFT’s HQ

Billy — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:47:58 +0000

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 [...]

The Fat Goose – Killcare, Central Coast, NSW

Billy — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:10:59 +0000

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, [...]

Onda – Terrigal, Central Coast NSW

Billy — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:43:59 +0000

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 [...]

Pearls on the Beach – Pearl Beach, Central Coast NSW

Billy — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:55:37 +0000

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 [...]

Gastronomical Journey down Hawkesbury River

Billy — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 06:25:26 +0000

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 [...]

Pie in the Sky – Erina, Central Coast NSW

Billy — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:16:50 +0000

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, [...]

Terrigal Hotel Bistro – Terrigal, NSW

Billy — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:21:54 +0000

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, [...]

Lantern Palace – Wamberal

Billy — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:46:52 +0000

“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 [...]
