A table for two

Tonight, our Capital is nothing but gaining, dare I say a delicious one too. It is raining outside as The Pom and I skipping puddles, trying to locate this new-ish restaurant in Circular Quay. The GPS on my iphone is leading us towards the Custom House down by the wharf, but my gut feeling tells [...]

Sadly soggy, oily, yucky. A disturbingly oily pork mince pastry is the last dish to arrive at our table and no one dares to touch it. I brace myself and pick a slice up with my chopsticks, its soggy bottom threatens to split and the filling inside almost become a table wipe. With quick thinking [...]

“KFC – we have a winner… on Pitt St” As vaguely as it may sound, but when I received this SMS from my mate, Five ‘Fiddy’ Phon, I knew exactly what he is talking about and I trusted him that he will never joke about KFC – our beloved Korean Fried Chicken. But he is [...]

“Ewww….!” She squeals. But we are not taking ‘no’ for an answer and keep prodding, “Eat it! Eat it!” She squeals some more and simply won’t barge. Betty eventually takes her drink away and says, “If you are not going to eat it, you won’t get your Coke!” And it worked. Karen slowly picks up [...]

We’ve counted the number of dishes on the menu. Despite the four of us trying to order five different dishes each, we still won’t be able to cover all forty dishes listed on the menu, and that doesn’t even include the specials and dessert menus which are written on blackboard on the wall. “Don’t worry, [...]

Simon (the heart of food) and I just had our lunch at bangbang cafe, but find ourselves wandering around Sydney CBD looking for something sweet not long after. Since we already have eaten, so we are just looking for a spot where we can sit down and relax over a cup of coffee with some [...]

From turntable to dining table. Should I be skeptical about the food served at a cafe that is opened by a DJ? Not to mention with a funny name like, “BANG BANG”? I was ready to ignore the invite when it came through to my inbox a couple of weeks ago sent by Alan Thompson, [...]

See, smell and taste. There are three giant prints of famous Fornasetti‘s plates on the wall, presumably depicts the three core senses how we should enjoy our food. That’s exactly what chef Warren Turnbull wants us to experience upon stepping inside his restaurant. Tonight we are dining at Assiette, a two chef’s hat french restaurant [...]

I love when friends keep reminding me that I passed my used-by-date in a subtle way, like inviting you to a 21st birthday for instance (Bloody Gen-Y!) God knows how long ago that I attended a 21st birthday and definitely wouldn’t want to be reminded my fashion sense back then. Be gone the 90s’! Jacq [...]

This has to be one of the most beautiful cup of coffee I’ve ever seen and tasted. No joke! I ordered the wattle maccacino, under the recommendation from the friendly waiter as he said is good for photos (I like the sound of that), but of course it is also their signature coffee. All this [...]

Have you been to Tetsuya’s? It seems to be the most frequently asked question this evening. My answer is a ‘No’. I had the idea of celebrating A Table For Two’s 1st blogiversary at Tetsuya’s last year. Despite that I made the phone call to the restaurant trying to reserve a table few months ahead, [...]

From naked chefs, to superheroes in leotards, it is that time of year again when Merivale Chefs come together to save the day and your wallet with $33 lunch and dinner offers across nine restaurants in the Merivale headquarter on George Street. The annual March Into Merivale is in full swing right now until mid [...]

Welcome to the S of A. South Australia, has opened its door to welcome everyone to this beautiful city of churches, gardens or something a little bit more attractive to a food enthusiast like me, – the surrounding wineries. “Over 200 cellar doors on your doorstep”, a promising slogan of the new South Australian Tourism [...]

The Ootoro has sold out, we’ve been told. After hearing Richard raving about the fatty tuna ootoro at Masuya Japanese Seafood Restaurant, it is the only one dish that I am really looking forward to experience. To my dismay, we are informed by the waitress that it has been sold out for this evening, sadness. [...]
