A table for two

Keep it ‘Cool’ with Naomi Watts this summer. [Competition is now closed] Everyone has friends, I have a few.

Designed to impress. [COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED] Laydees, and the boys, I’m sure you all had a few champers during the Melbourne Cup last week, but why stop when you can keep partying with ‘The Prince’? I am talking about the Prince Phillipe Maurice De Broglie Sparkling vintage wine. ‘The Prince’ is a French champagne [...]

Have your own Masterchef action at Masterchef Live! [COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED] Are you coming to Masterchef Live? Cuz I’ll be there! Actually every time I mention the word ‘MasterChef’ still gives me chills – do I really have to cook under pressure, again?! Apparently yes I do! I will be at MasterChef Live on [...]

TABLEISM – The art of mixing good food, friends and don’t forget… the music. [competition is now closed.] I have a basic rule when hosting dinner party, TV is strictly OFF. I have learned from past experiences, TV always killed conversation at the dining table. “But what I want to watch the news?” NO! “I [...]

Sentimental I am. There’s so much I’d like to talk about my time on MasterChef Australia 2011, but it is these little tangible tokens that I’ve collected that makes the whole experience – real. Peter always joked about stealing items from the MasterChef  house and putting them on Ebay and be rich. Imagine how much Hayden’s undies will fetch? Tweet

TGIF! All work and no play makes Billy a hungry dull boy and lack of time to update the blog. (sadness…) But I hope you all looking forward to a weekend of sunshine, food and wine! I would love to hear what you guys have planned for this weekend and give me some inspirations where [...]

Arriving in Australia in the early 1980s as a 22yo with little money, no professional skills and very little English, Tetsuya’s pursuit of excellence has guided him through a life changing culinary journey from a humble kitchen hand to becoming a successful world [...]

Peckish for something different. Josh Nicholls, the larrikin chef and his Japanese partner, Ai who co-owned Cafe Ish needs no introduction. Their little cafe at the corner of Campbell St in Surry Hills might be small, but it is the derision of Japanese and bush tucker food combo menu that makes Ish one of the [...]

[Competition is now closed. Winners announced here.] 中秋節. I know is spring time in Australia, but there is no reason why we can’t celebrate mid-autumn festival (中秋節), especially when there is food involved, right? One of my favourite Chinese festivals has to be mid-autumn festival, and it falls on 22nd September this year. As you [...]

WLG ——————————-> SYD A three hours flight across the pond, the quaint Wellington city in New Zealand will be landing in the big smoke of Sydney some time in September. The New Zealanders are going to perform in group, but not with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet, chanting over a Haka traditional dance [...]

Would you like a day out with ATFT? [competition is now closed. winners announced here.] *UPDATE* – Due to unforeseen circumstances, there is a slight changes to the competition. Hopscotch Films has just informed me that the movie double passes are only available for Monday to Friday normal sessions. Hence, we can’t really use it [...]

Let’s toast! Last night, while I was in the Bistro CBD’s kitchen, manically pan frying 20 pork bellies in 4 skillets at the same time, with oil spluttering everywhere, trying to feed 69 hungry mouths at the Food Bloggers’ Dinner Event, A Table For Two has quietly turned 2 years old. I would never have [...]

What are you doing this chilly winter weekend? For me, it is always the perfect time to stay in, and get creative in the kitchen and fill the air with freshly baked breads and cakes. Also do not fight the temptation of sloth on the couch, with a bowl of mama’s spaghetti or the comforting [...]
