Bacco Wine Bar Pasticceria – Chifley Square, Sydney CBD

May 14, 2010

Simon (the heart of food) and I just had our lunch at bangbang cafe, but find ourselves wandering around Sydney CBD looking for something sweet not long after. Since we already have eaten, so we are just looking for a spot where we can sit down and relax over a cup of coffee with some [...]

bangbang Cafe – Surry Hills, Sydney CBD

April 23, 2010

From turntable to dining table. Should I be skeptical about the food served at a cafe that is opened by a DJ? Not to mention with a funny name like, “BANG BANG”? I was ready to ignore the invite when it came through to my inbox a couple of weeks ago sent by Alan Thompson, [...]

Sensory Lab – David Jones, Melbourne CBD

March 17, 2010

A science laboratory or a cafe? I am no coffee connoisseur, actually far from it. But I do love my coffee, and know what I like when I tasted a good one. However, brewing coffee using a Syphon filter device and Bunsen burner is all a little too complicated for me, best to leave this [...]

The Fat Goose – Killcare, Central Coast, NSW

February 15, 2010

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, [...]

Danks Street Depot – Waterloo, Sydney

July 6, 2009

As some of you may have known that I recently had a photographic exhibition called The Red Balloon at the 2 Danks Street Gallery. It all went well and had lots of positive feedback, so it is kind of a relief that is all over and well received. The next installment will be moving the [...]

Chocolateria San Churro – Chatswood

June 16, 2009

San Churro is not new, but only now I got the chance to have my chocolate fix at the Chatswood branch. Since Max Brenner in Chatswood Chase has shut down years ago, this side of town is desperately in need of another chocolateria for those quick fix. Then came along San Churro to the rescue, [...]

Rosebud – Rozelle, NSW

June 9, 2009

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” [...]

Enzo – Polkobin, NSW

May 21, 2009

We love our tapas at Tatler in Hunter Valley. Unfortunately the “no dog” policy means we won’t be dining there while we have our pooch, Amelie with us on a day trip. I am actually not surprised at all and prepared to face the rejections. It is a matter of keep trying until we found [...]

Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe – Ultimo, Sydney

March 31, 2009

“Let’s meet at Una’s instead,” Peter G suggested. A meet long overdue. I arrived early in Ultimo (or Broadway) and only realised the restaurant suggested no where to be found. I am 100 and 10 percent sure I am at the right address but the restaurant has a different name. I peek through the window [...]

Lindt Chocolat Cafe – Martin Place, Sydney

March 3, 2009

After galleries hopping and a tasty lunch at Bills, we hopped back into the car and drove into city for one last exhibition at State Library of NSW. The sky was looking gloomy and started to rain as we came out of the gallery, so there is no better excuse as we quickly dashed into [...]
