Capital Grill & Bar – Circular Quay, Sydney CBD

August 5, 2010

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.

Roast Chicken with a Can in the Butt recipe

July 7, 2010

I live in a suburb where housewives do buy soft drinks in 2 litre bottles and ice cream in ginormous 4 litre tubs, Neopolitan flavour usually I’ve noticed because you get three flavours in one! Whoop-pee-doo! But more importantly, they are feisty shoppers, they will push trolley and ram you down, stop right in front [...]

Cafe Ish (All you can eat ribs) – Surry Hills, Sydney

July 5, 2010

What a rib-per. “We found out about the all-you-can-eat ribs night through ChocolateSuze‘s blog,” we overheard a group of young girls confess to Josh, the owner of Cafe Ish. Josh immediately teases the girls whether they want an autograph from Suze as we have also just stuffed ourselves silly with some lips-smacking good ribs. But [...]

Maggie G’s of Morpeth – Morpeth, NSW

February 3, 2010

Yellowglen bottles as salt and pepper shaker, ingenius! Morpeth, one of the most beautiful little towns in New South Wales that I’ve visited. Only a 2 hours drive from Sydney, Morpeth is tucked away just a little further north in the Hunter Region. I first discovered this tranquil little hidden gem when I joined the [...]

Lamington Tiramisu for Australia Day

January 28, 2010

Lamington – “Those bloody poofy woolly biscuits”. That’s how the Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901, Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington, described this iconic Australian dessert. Don’t blame him, he probably would have wanted something more manly and macho like a chunky beef pie to be named after him, and not to be associated [...]

Dr Jurd’s Jungle Juice at The Wollombi Tavern – Wollombi, Hunter Valley, NSW

January 8, 2010

Once upon a time in a not so far away land… I feel like I have fallen into a rabbit hole, and found myself drinking a mysterious potion called the Dr Jurd’s Jungle Juice at this cosy tavern in Wollombi. Will this Jungle Juice make me grow bigger or smaller, I wonder? And who is [...]

Muse – Pokolbin, Hunter Valley, NSW

October 17, 2009

I’ve just watched Julie & Julia. Despite me and The Pom were the only two men in the cinema, we enjoyed the movie immensely. It makes me want to cook boeuf bourguignon, want to go to France and taste all the lovely food, but it also kind of makes me wondering why the hell am [...]

October 7, 2009

I run. I stumble. I am running late. Very late. One hour late to be exact. I can’t imagine anything much more embarrassing than showing up at the dinner table full of strangers, especially the hungry ones. It is best not to raise too much attention, I simply tucked my tail between my legs, being [...]

Onda – Terrigal, Central Coast NSW

September 30, 2009

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 [...]

Take It Slow @ MUMU – Crows Nest, Sydney

July 16, 2009

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, [...]

June 4, 2009

“My name is Billy, and I am from A Table for Two,” I said. “Oh sorry, this is a private function tonight,” she replies totally unaware that I’ve just stated my foodblog’s name to RSVP myself at the Australian Pork Yuletide Dinner at Restaurant Atelier this evening. Classic! We both burst out laughing at our [...]
