Mrs S – Perth, Western Australia

Billy — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:45:11 +0000

Children book as menu, how adorable! My not-so-recent trip has brought me over to the western side of Australia to conduct a few cooking demonstrations. Work aside, it was the perfect excuse for me to go and check out what they have to offer on the other side of the world. Surprisingly, I am loving [...]

The Larder – Wellington, New Zealand

Billy — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:52:45 +0000

Egg porn. Is that the wind blow or I just heard your orgasmic gasp? I don’t blame you because I had the exact same reaction when I pierced the fragile poached egg ever so slightly it burst and my croque madame was suddenly draped with golden yolk that is so sexy, I couldn’t help but [...]

Cafe Vue – Melbourne CBD, VIC

Billy — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 20:22:21 +0000

The cafe scene in Melbourne without a doubt is one of the best (if not the best) in Australia. Espresso machines are hissing at every corners, stools and chairs dominate the laneways with coffee goers soaking up the sun (no rain if lucky) whilst sipping a cup of latte, it is a picture perfect that [...]

TOASTED GRANOLA, GREEK YOGHURT FOAM, WEETBIX SABLE

Billy — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 20:00:29 +0000

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Sadly I don’t eat breakfast very often, bad boy I am… I know… Then I discovered granola. Who’d have thought it is so easy to make granola? Just add some rolled oats with dried fruits and sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds into glorious brown sugar, maple syrup [...]

Sri Kaya (Coconut Jam) recipe

Billy — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:34:03 +0000

Just realised I haven’t done a recipe post for ages! It is not that I don’t cook at home often enough, in fact I actually spend even more time in kitchen these days than ever before! It’s just that I am super busy lately and hardly go out for dinner, whatever I cook these days [...]

Marigold Restaurant Yum Cha – Haymarket Chinatown, Sydney CBD

Billy — Wed, 26 May 2010 16:22:46 +0000

“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 [...]

Lose Yourself in Melbourne Laneways but not your appetite

Billy — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:40:53 +0000

As we have just missed our tram to South Melbourne to check out St Ali, we decided to just stay in the city and have breakfast at some of the cafes tucked away in the vibrant Melbourne laneways. If this is your first time in Melbourne and not sure where to go for some good [...]

Cafe Ish – Surry Hills, Sydney, NSW

Billy — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:10:32 +0000

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 [...]

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, [...]

Foolproof Soft Boiled Egg Cooker

Billy — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:58:40 +0000

What a gorgeous weekend! The last thing I wanted to do is being stuck inside the house and mess around in the kitchen. No way José! Having said that, I did spend only a few hours in kitchen just to finish my Daring Bakers challenge, as I wasn’t happy with the first attempt I did [...]
