April 21, 2010

Coffee! You can sleep when you’re dead! I can’t help but just crack myself up laughing when I saw this sign post at the Single Origin warehouse and I am sure there are a lot of caffeine addicts out there can relate to it. I love coffee, but probably not as much as The Pom. [...]

Breadmaking Workshop at Convent Bakery – Convent Abbotsford, Melbourne

March 26, 2010

Mix it. Roll it. Knead it. Bake it. Softer. Tastier. Better. Hungrier. That’s how Helen and I roll… …the flour dough that is, during a breadmaking workshop at the Convent Bakery inside the Convent Abbotsford, a Melbourne Food & Wine Festival event.

Cafe Ish – Surry Hills, Sydney, NSW

March 11, 2010

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

February 15, 2010

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.

Pie in the Sky – Erina, Central Coast NSW

June 29, 2009

I’ve heard there is a Pie in the Sky spotted in Cowan, but this extraterrestrial sighting is spreading and I personally spotted a Pie in the Sky at Erina too! This kind of sighting happens now and again, but more often during rainy days. The luring of hot steamy chunky beef encrusted in flaky pastry, [...]

Chocolateria San Churro – Chatswood

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, [...]
