Mrs S – Perth, Western Australia

Billy — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:45:11 +0000

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 [...]

Cafe Vue – Melbourne CBD, VIC

Billy — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 20:22:21 +0000

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 [...]

TOASTED GRANOLA, GREEK YOGHURT FOAM, WEETBIX SABLE

Billy — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 20:00:29 +0000

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 [...]

Sri Kaya (Coconut Jam) recipe

Billy — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:34:03 +0000

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 [...]

The Fat Goose – Killcare, Central Coast, NSW

Billy — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:10:59 +0000

Sometimes I am a little skeptical about going to a restaurant with mockery name just to lure customers in. Possibly not intentional, the fat goose in Killcare is rather ballsy to have its name almost as close to the famous three Michelin stars restaurant, The Fat Duck runs by Heston Blumenthal, the culinary alchemist. Duck, [...]

My perfect breakfast

Billy — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 06:04:04 +0000

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 [...]

Rosebud – Rozelle, NSW

Billy — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:24:18 +0000

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” [...]

Carman’s Muesli Rounds

Billy — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:21:28 +0000

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 [...]

Degraves Espresso Bar – Melbourne CBD

Billy — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 13:03:36 +0000

“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 [...]
