“Billy, come. I’ve told the waitress you are a foodblogger and she is going to show you around and take pictures,” Mr V.I.P insisted again after giving me a full tour of Crystal Club on 29th floor earlier on.

I used to work and live in Artarmon, so I know this area pretty well. Artarmon is a small suburb tucked in between Chatswood and St Leonards. There isn’t much going on in this suburb, but a small community of Koreans and Japanese who’s been living there has turned the little walkway under the train [...]

Sapporo beer + Chilled Sake + a tiny cut of Chili Padi = Uchi Lounge signature Sake the Bomb You heard me right. There are many reasons why I love Uchi Lounge so much.  A tiny Japanese restaurant tucked away in a side street in Surry Hills, where you can enjoy a great list of [...]
