A table for two

Children book as menu, how adorable! My not-so-recent trip has brought me over to the western side of Australia to conduct a few cooking demonstrations. Work aside, it was the perfect excuse for me to go and check out what they have to offer on the other side of the world. Surprisingly, I am loving [...]

The cafe scene in Melbourne without a doubt is one of the best (if not the best) in Australia. Espresso machines are hissing at every corners, stools and chairs dominate the laneways with coffee goers soaking up the sun (no rain if lucky) whilst sipping a cup of latte, it is a picture perfect that [...]

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Sadly I don’t eat breakfast very often, bad boy I am… I know… Then I discovered granola. Who’d have thought it is so easy to make granola? Just add some rolled oats with dried fruits and sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds into glorious brown sugar, maple syrup [...]

Just realised I haven’t done a recipe post for ages! It is not that I don’t cook at home often enough, in fact I actually spend even more time in kitchen these days than ever before! It’s just that I am super busy lately and hardly go out for dinner, whatever I cook these days [...]

Just look at these roman tomatoes, I had to have them when I spotted it at the supermarket, and they are the bestest, juiciest tomatoes ever in this world… no this universe! Funny thing is I actually not a tomato person, I don’t mind them but I don’t miss them either. Maybe because I just [...]

I think one of the most important factor that makes a cafe/restaurant ahead of others is to have an experience coffee barista who knows his coffee. I never claimed to be a coffee expert, but I definitely can appreciate a good cup of coffee when it is well made with a good blend. The “Rosebud” [...]

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 [...]

“Where can I get a good coffee?” I twittered on my iPhone. It didn’t take long for me to realise I’ve sent the message too soon without telling people where exactly I am. Soon enough my twitter is flooded with recommendations all the way from US, telling me to go to Starbucks. “Where can I [...]
