A table for two

Join the societe. Every time I am in Melbourne, the one thing I look forward the most is definitely breakfast. Sipping coffee at the petite laneway cafes in Melbourne is one of my favourite past times. There’s no exception during my recent trip with Peter and we found ourselves in Hardware Lane, with some of [...]

Devilicious. South American cuisines seem to have taken over the whole of Australia by storm recently. Restaurants serving Mexican, Argentinian, Brazilian and Peruvian food are popping up everywhere in Sydney and other cities. During my recent trip to Melbourne with Peter, we’ve decided to check out a bar that serves a type of traditional bite-sized [...]

A lot of Melbournians suggested me to check out Cumulus Inc. after reading about my unsatisfactory breakfast at Cafe Vue. As a matter of fact, I actually did check out Cumulus Inc. when I was in Melbourne, not for breakfast but a proper Sunday dinner. Sundays are usually day-offs for chefs and restaurateurs with a [...]

Melbourne Food and Wine Festival 2010 seems so long ago now! Helen and I were very grateful to be invited by the Tourism Victoria to attend the festival in March this year, and it was definitely one of the most exciting and memorable culinary journey we’ve had together. (Oh dear, I said *journey*!) Tweet

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 [...]

Can’t exactly remember when I first heard about Attica, but the idea of a chef collecting seaweed and wild flowers at the beach and in the bush then use it in the restaurant had me intrigued. Then I saw Ben Shewry, the head chef of Attica on stage with René Redzepi at the Opera House, [...]

And I know how hard work it is to run a food blog, especially sacrificing the waistline one meal at a time and [...]

Melbourne, here I come. Melbournians, I have a good news for you! Okay, maybe not as exciting as Oprah coming to Australia, but I finally get the chance to come down to Melbourne and share my ATFT Food Photography Workshops with you guys on the 27th and 28th November at St. Ali! Tweet

Sorry for keeping you all in suspense for few days, as a few of us have been busy planning this event and putting the final touches to make sure it all goes [...]

“Do you care for tea?” Sydney and Melbourne food bloggers, can you smell something is brewing in the air? Can you sense the excitement? Watch this space, because you do not want to miss out! Tweet

As we have just missed our tram to South Melbourne to check out St Ali, we decided to just stay in the city and have breakfast at some of the cafes tucked away in the vibrant Melbourne  laneways. If this is your first time in Melbourne and not sure where to go for some good [...]

Mix it. Roll it. Knead it. Bake it. Softer. Tastier. Better. Hungrier. That’s how Helen and I roll… …the flour dough that is, during a breadmaking workshop at the Convent Bakery inside the Convent Abbotsford, a Melbourne Food & Wine Festival event. My mum would be so proud to see her son making his first [...]

I love Melbourne city. No matter where I turn, there is always another nook and cranny to discover. It is so different compared to Sydney CBD which is usually dead on the weekend because it is more sparse with hot spots scattered all around the suburbs and not easy to get to without a car. [...]

The sun is escalating and the temperature drops rapidly in Melbourne weather. Helen (Grab Your Fork) and I found ourselves pacing down Little Bourke Street, trying to locate a restaurant nearby with the help of the google map on our iphones. The address given has led us to a corner of nothing but skyrises. Everything [...]
