A table for two

Devilicious. South American cuisines seem to have taken over the whole of Australia by storm recently. Restaurants serving Mexican, Argentinian, Brazilian and Peruvian food are popping up everywhere in Sydney and other cities. During my recent trip to Melbourne with Peter, we’ve decided to check out a bar that serves a type of traditional bite-sized [...]

I have so many Christmas recipes to share but I am afraid this will be the last recipe post before Santa comes tonight – the good old humble shortbread. I have made different types of shortbread by using the leftover dried cranberry from the biscotti, the bacon chips from the salted caramel, and also introducing [...]

All I want for Xmas is chew… I don’t want a lot for Christmas There’s just bacon I need I don’t care about the raisins Underneath the biscotti I just want to chew on my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is… Chew…. Tweet

[donotprint] Biscotti and milk for Santa. Only four more sleeps till Christmas, but I’ve been slacked and took me quite some time to finally get into the whole festive season spirit. The Pom and I have decided not to have a big celebration this year, there will be no expensive presents, there will be no [...]

[donotprint] Usher in The Year of Tiger! Seven more sleeps till the Lunar New Year, as you probably would have noticed that there is no slacking off in the ATFT’s kitchen and I’ve been churning up lots of my favourite festive cookies. A fellow Malaysian lady found my pineapple tarts post and she decided to [...]

I’ve made the peanut cookies for the Chinese New Year again. Those little golden morsels of soft peanut crumbs that simply melt in the mouth like eating a dollop of peanut butter never fail to satiate my cravings. I’ve revised my previous recipe a little and yield a better result. You can grab the recipe [...]

Is it wrong to start thinking what food to make for this Christmas already? Hence, I present you the pistachio chocolate marshmallows. Trick ‘cha! These were actually made for the Halloween over the weekend. I actually had not prepare anything for the Trick or Treaters, so decided to churn up these quick and easy pistachio [...]

Time flies, it is that time of year again. Chinese supermarkets are already stacking up tins and tins of mooncakes ready for Mid Autumn Festival (中秋节) which falls on 3rd October this year. On that night, the moon will be at its fullest, roundest and brightest! Mid-autumn festival (中秋节) is definitely one of my favorite [...]

HAPPY MERDEKA DAY! Today is Malaysia National Day! Of course we have to celebrate with some local food, especially street food! One of the highlights of my trip is definitely hanging out at the mamak stalls at midnight, sitting on the red plastic stool flimsy enough that will probably break and flattened in any second, [...]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted this at Harris Farm Markets over the weekend. It’s Jackfruit! Not frozen, not in can, but fresh tropical jackfruit! I believe not many people have heard of or seen jackfruit before in Australia, let alone taste it. Jackfruit is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia where [...]

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, [...]

The Pom is a big Carman’s fan, he can have his oat cereal any time of the day – breakfast, lunch and sometimes even dinner. I swear I am not lying (cuz I am not a breakfast person… and usually skip it… I know I know… is the most important meal of the day…) So [...]

*slurp~ slurp~* Amelie has one scoop of vanilla ice cream on a cone all to herself?! Yes way! And can you believe the ice cream is FREE? Thanks to Annie’s! Isn’t she spoilt or what? The Annie’s Ice Cream Parlour (aka Annie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlour) in Bathurst is a MUST visit. Right on [...]

Channel 10 has just released a new teaser for the upcoming reality TV show – Masterchef Australia. How exciting! I love the trailer. Former magazine editor and newspaper food critic Sarah Wilson will be the host of Masterchef Australia. Melbourne chefs George Calombaris of The Press Club and Gary Mehigan of Fenix, will be the [...]
