A table for two

First and foremost, how are we all? I’ve almost forgotten how exhilarate it can be to spend more time outdoors and get active again. This is the first time I turned on my computer after being absence for over two months. I seriously thought I won’t survived without the internet for more than a week, [...]

Melbourne Food and Wine Festival 2010 seems so long ago now! Helen and I were very grateful to be invited by the Tourism Victoria to attend the festival in March this year, and it was definitely one of the most exciting and memorable culinary journey we’ve had together. (Oh dear, I said *journey*!) Tweet

[donotprint] rat • a • too • ee! Does it look familiar to you? Tell me I am not the only person who never heard of this classic French dish, Ratatouille until the Pixar animated film came out back in 2007. And tell me I am also not the only person who is so inspired [...]

[donotprint]Spring time is here and we are already three quarter into the year. Spring time only means one thing for me – lots of baking. To be honest, I’ve been procrastinating during winter and haven’t really done much baking than I should. But I can’t wait to get back straight into it, I have promised [...]

Ahh… internet, I almost forgot what it feels like being wired to the internet 24/7 back in Sydney. I am sure you’d have noticed that I’ve been missing in action for last few days and the blog is also desperately in need for some updates. Unless you are following my twitter, then you probably wouldn’t [...]

My daily full time job revolves around internet, so usually the best way for my clients to find me is via email, msn, skype, gtalk, facebook, twitter, you name it. Then there are also friends who stay online just as much as I do always available for a quick chitchat which is a good distraction [...]

See, smell and taste. There are three giant prints of famous Fornasetti‘s plates on the wall, presumably depicts the three core senses how we should enjoy our food. That’s exactly what chef Warren Turnbull wants us to experience upon stepping inside his restaurant. Tonight we are dining at Assiette, a two chef’s hat french restaurant [...]

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 [...]

I lived in Wollstonecraft for nearly over 2 years and drove past La Grillade almost a gazillion times but somehow never cross my mind to dine in this restaurant. But then I wasn’t seriously food savvy back then (still ain’t now), am always self conscious when come to fine dining. Still am! Finally I got [...]

Apologise for such slow update on my South East Asia trip back in August! Things have been hectic around this time of year and the new year is only 28 days away, I think I better crack the whip harder to get all the posts out before my next holiday start in May 2010! I [...]

This man definitely knows how to A-cha-cha or two. His name is James Sarcasmo, and you probably have seen him at the Paddy’s market or the occasional farmers markets around Sydney during weekends. But little did you know that he is actually one of the first Achacha grower in Australia. Neither do I until a [...]

The cake sounds horrible in English, but if I put it in French… Gateau au chocolat à la fleur de sel et huile d’olive. The cake definitely sounds so much sexier in French, don’t you think? In short, just as the title says, it is a chocolate cake with olive oil and sea salt (fleur [...]

I am amazed that the diet in this household has changed tremendously since last year, especially within the last couple of months. A huge factor that causes such change would probably is because of this blog, food has suddenly become more exciting, dinner has become more elaborate, and every conversation will evolved around food. Almost [...]

Long weekend, also means a long table of food, food, and food. Apart from the panna cotta I made over the weekend, I have also cooked up a storm and invited our good friends who I haven’t seen for a long time over to our home for a lovely lunch. I’ve been spending a whole [...]
