A table for two

I love Melbourne city. No matter where I turn, there is always another nook and cranny to discover. It is so different compared to Sydney CBD which is usually dead on the weekend because it is more sparse with hot spots scattered all around the suburbs and not easy to get to without a car. [...]

A science laboratory or a cafe? I am no coffee connoisseur, actually far from it. But I do love my coffee, and know what I like when I tasted a good one. However, brewing coffee using a Syphon filter device and Bunsen burner is all a little too complicated for me, best to leave this [...]

Welcome to the S of A. South Australia, has opened its door to welcome everyone to this beautiful city of churches, gardens or something a little bit more attractive to a food enthusiast like me, – the surrounding wineries. “Over 200 cellar doors on your doorstep”, a promising slogan of the new South Australian Tourism [...]

Food. Booze and Moo… …Grass fed in particular, is seemingly to be the hot topic that circulates around the table this evening at the Beer Tasting Dinner at MUMU Grill, a preview event organised by owner and head chef Craig Macindoe, who is also an avid slow food advocate. After a few tweets away, Craig [...]

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 [...]

Board games + desserts + BFFs = I AM SO IN! It was Simon‘s Birthday and he herded a group of food bloggers to celebrate this special occasion at Wagaya for dinner then chillax later at a cafe where you can drink, have desserts and play board games! Be very afraid, my inner-geekiness is going [...]

Sydney is slowly warming up to the new concept of “secret dinner” which a group of strangers will be randomly selected for a dinner party where the venue will only be revealed on the exact date via SMS or email. I am a sucker for surprises; if I was a cat, I definitely the first [...]

I received these Pure Chai couple weeks back and finally got the chance to taste it. The Pure Chai comes in two flavour – Chocolate and Honey & Vanilla. I got some time today so I thought will  do a photoshoot with them. Deep down I always wanted to wear purple lipstick, perhaps?! The packaging [...]

Why is it so difficult to find a restaurant that opens after 10pm in Sydney CBD? I find it hard to believe that Sydney is a big city yet there are not many restaurants that open late. Friends from overseas laughed at me when I told them the shopping malls here in Australia closed at [...]

The sun is out, the winter morning air is crisp and fresh, as I am walking down the jagged old stone pavements towards the wharf, I already can smell the coffee miles away. Coffee, the only scent that can wake me up in the morning and here I am, at the annual festival for lovers [...]

It is ChocolateSuze‘s craziest birthday do with a truck load of foodbloggers shoved into a tiny room at Wagaya. The whole night was rather a blur and chaotic – food with no names are shared, well at least the quick hands got some, the slow hands got none. Hence some of the hungry hungry hippos [...]

If there is any comfort food that makes you homesick and nostalgic, then Cantonese style red bean soup with mandarin peel is definitely right on top of my list. Even though is called soup, but it is actually a sweet dessert drink. Different country has different version of the red bean soup, and the key [...]

After galleries hopping and a tasty lunch at Bills, we hopped back into the car and drove into city for one last exhibition at State Library of NSW. The sky was looking gloomy and started to rain as we came out of the gallery, so there is no better excuse as we quickly dashed into [...]

Today is a stinker! Hot, hot, hot at 38ºC outside! I just came back from a meeting and when I stepped outside the office, “phwoarrr!!” The heatwave just blew right in your face and feels like slowly cooking in the oven. That’s it! I am staying inside for the rest of the day, with the [...]
