Rick Stein at Bannisters – Mollymook, NSW

Billy — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:00:29 +0000

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, [...]

PANKO-CRUMBED SNAPPER FINGERS, BASIL OIL, WHITE PARSLEY SAUCE, INOKI AND SEASONAL VEGETABLES

Billy — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 20:10:02 +0000

Question, when was the last time you cook a whole fish? I seriously can’t remember when was the last time I cook a whole fish, let alone scale, gut the fillet the fish myself. Things might have changed a little these days in Malaysia, but I still remember the fish that mum bought at the [...]

ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS IN SHAOXING WINE, LEMON BUTTER, BASIL OIL

Billy — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 20:05:56 +0000

Give me crabs… …the edible type. I have to say my favourite kind of seafood has to be the crab. I know a lot of people despise crab because it is also one of the most difficult seafood to eat. You have to crack the hard shell with a nutcracker, smash the claws with hammer [...]

Menu Tasting at Garfish – Manly, Sydney Northern Beaches

Billy — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:17:16 +0000

Come rain or shine. I’ll be there, so long there is food involved. Despite the ill weather conditions tonight is particularly one of the most extreme in Sydney this winter, The Pom and I still brace ourselves through the gusty wind and horizontal rain, we eventually find ourselves on the north side of Sydney harbour [...]

Capital Grill & Bar – Circular Quay, Sydney CBD

Billy — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 19:00:35 +0000

Tonight, our Capital is nothing but gaining, dare I say a delicious one too. It is raining outside as The Pom and I skipping puddles, trying to locate this new-ish restaurant in Circular Quay. The GPS on my iphone is leading us towards the Custom House down by the wharf, but my gut feeling tells [...]

Bungalow 8 – King Street Wharf, Sydney

Billy — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 08:34:08 +0000

The venue is dimly lit; I put the blue wristband on my left wrist, I am ready to rave. Oh yeah… I am ready to rave about the all you can eat mussels at Bungalow 8. Since after being rejected entry without booking, FFIchiban decided to invite us all again to Bungalow 8 to celebrate [...]

Terrigal Hotel Bistro – Terrigal, NSW

Billy — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:21:54 +0000

It is TGIF PLF – I called it the Pub Lunch Friday! The battered food, the amber liquid, and the extra hour long lunch relaxing in the beer courtyard soaking up the sun, what not to love about PLF?! Not to mention, the local hotel is only few paces down the hill from our place, [...]

New Year’s Day BBQ

Billy — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 11:28:12 +0000

Happy New Year 2009 everyone! We welcomed the new year by throwing some snags and prawns on the barbie like a real aussie trooper. The first day of the new year proven to be a stinky hot one, it was so nice to spend our day in and around the swimming pool at the backyard, [...]

Filo-wrapped Snapper with Fennel and Ricotta

Billy — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:28:35 +0000

It’s Royal Foodie Joust time again at the LOQ’s forum! I have had a lot of fun last time with my first tribute of the flattened spicy chicken, and Peter G at Souvlaki for the Soul won the title with his gorgeous Halvas. As the winner of last month’s challenge, the ingredients that Peter has [...]

Monti’s Ashore, Gosford

Billy — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 11:27:25 +0000

A nice and warm sunny Sunday, a perfect day to go fishing… well, fish & chips that is. In central coast, you will have no trouble finding fish and chips shops. Despite there are so many fish and chips shops in the coast, I am still yet to find the best one. Hence, we set [...]
