Orphan’s Christmas Picnic at Balls Head Reserve

December 26, 2009 Event

Season’s greetings!
I have to admit, overeating is a bitch! I feel fat and lethargic from excessive consumption, and have to visit the bathroom two or three times a day is simply abnormal. (I know is too much information, tough!) When I thought I finally have some down time to relax from all the frenzy [...]

Relaunch party at La Grillade – Crows Nest, NSW

December 11, 2009 Event

I lived in Wollstonecraft for nearly over 2 years and drove past La Grillade almost a gazillion times but somehow never cross my mind to dine in this restaurant. But then I wasn’t seriously food savvy back then (still ain’t now), am always self conscious when come to fine dining. Still am!

South Restaurant – Neutral Bay, NSW

December 9, 2009 American

I am a True Blood fan.
Especially season 2, is like a foodblogger’s dreams come true I tell ya! I can’t wait for the season three to come back on air in 2010. Every time I watched that episode when Tara and Eggs eat that blood pie that Maryann baked for them, it totally grossed me [...]

Katsusando from Atomic Espresso – Neutral Bay, NSW

July 28, 2009 Japanese

If you want good Malaysian food, ask Malaysian friends. And if you want good Japanese food, no doubt the Japanese are the ones you should ask. Japanese food in particular, I found most of the good ones are hidden from the public and only the local Japanese who have been living in Sydney for a [...]

Take It Slow @ MUMU – Crows Nest, Sydney

July 16, 2009 American

Good, Clean and Fair.
With these three simple words, the Slow Food movement believes that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work. Admit it, we [...]

Dennis’ Dinner party

July 8, 2009 Chinese

The aromatic chicken curry is cooked to perfection, tender chicken pieces with soft golden potato nuggets in a thick curry sauce. The thin layer of chili oil on top is already a promising sign that I am going to love this dish without even having to taste it.
“How did you make your Curry Chicken, Mr [...]

Chocolateria San Churro – Chatswood

June 16, 2009 Cafes / Bakery

San Churro is not new, but only now I got the chance to have my chocolate fix at the Chatswood branch. Since Max Brenner in Chatswood Chase has shut down years ago, this side of town is desperately in need of another chocolateria for those quick fix. Then came along San Churro to the rescue, [...]
