Get your jelly on #07 – MADONNA

Billy — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 22:29:27 +0000

Day 7. Guess who’s birthday it is today? Most people I’ve shown the Royal Selangor Nick Munro jelly mould to will immediately associated with Madonna. (I wonder why?) And when I asked The Pom for jelly ideas, he had a play with them and naturally cupped them on his chest. ~*palmed face*~ Besides, this 30-day [...]

What’s going on behind the scenes at Single Origin roasters warehouse?

Billy — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:13:44 +0000

Coffee! You can sleep when you’re dead! I can’t help but just crack myself up laughing when I saw this sign post at the Single Origin warehouse and I am sure there are a lot of caffeine addicts out there can relate to it. I love coffee, but probably not as much as The Pom. [...]

Sensory Lab – David Jones, Melbourne CBD

Billy — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:59:11 +0000

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 [...]

Old Town White Coffee Cafe – Ipoh, Malaysia

Billy — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:34:55 +0000

In the modern, fast-paced (and westernised as a matter of fact) Malaysia, the first thing you will notice is food franchise outlets popping up everywhere! Majority of the chains are US franchises like Macdonald’s, KFC, Kenny Rogers, and Marry Brown (comes with seatings hang from the roof like a swing), Chilis just to name (seriously) [...]

Aroma Festival 09 – The Rocks, Sydney

Billy — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:24:47 +0000

The sun is out, the winter morning air is crisp and fresh, as I am walking down the jagged old stone pavements towards the wharf, I already can smell the coffee miles away. Coffee, the only scent that can wake me up in the morning and here I am, at the annual festival for lovers [...]

Lindt Chocolat Cafe – Martin Place, Sydney

Billy — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 05:43:17 +0000

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 [...]

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 [...]

Creme Brulee Trio

Billy — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:32:35 +0000

One of Amélie Poulain‘s† favorite moments is cracking créme brulée with a teaspoon – I agree whole heartedly. A tiny pot of creme custard sealed with a shiny layer of golden brown toffee, and the little “crack” sound when you hit it with the back of the teaspoon, that little short moment always bring out [...]

Porridge, Coffee, and a rainy Saturday morning

Billy — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:35:41 +0000

Winter has passed and welcome the spring. Unfortunately there is no sunshine, no spring breeze, but instead of heavy down pour, and gustly wind for the last few days. I had a lie in this morning snuggle up with Amelie (my Cavalier King Charles), listening to the pouring rain outside probably one of the best [...]
