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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

“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 [...]

This is the first time I visited Chophouse, I already fall in love and captured by its charm. Chophouse, sister restaurant of Kingsley Restaurant, is a contemporary adaptation of the New York style steakhouse. As the name suggests, the interior inside restaurant reminiscing the rawness of a slaughterhouse yet edgy and chic. You definitely wouldn’t [...]

This Saturday is Anzac Day. A day to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.

The Pom is on diet and we both trying to eat as healthy as possible when we are cooking at home. Usually we go for groceries shopping together so we know what dishes to prepare with the ingredients we bought. This is what happen when I left him in charge of the shopping and when [...]
