A table for two

Flair, the name itself is probably not the most provocative or original for a restaurant, its location is also not the most eye-catching one either. We have driven past that tiny strip of shops at Erina Heights a million times but never really pay much attention to it. Unless you’ve been tipped off by friends [...]

Luring Leura. I have to admit that my experience in Blue Mountains had always been revolved around touristy spots like the Three Sisters, Echo Point and the scenic railway with the corny Indiana Jones theme tune that doesn’t really give you that sense of adventure as it descends into the black hole. Up till recently, [...]

It is a leisurely 2-hour drive from the (Central) coast to the (Blue) mountains, but our final destination is still about another hour away in the midst of the valley. We follow the windy steep hill through ‘The Gap’ down to the valley floor, the scenery changes dramatically to gravel road and native bushland with [...]

What TV Shows did you grow up with? For me, it will be Full House, The Wonder Years, Ultraman, Kamen Rider Super and of course, the Monkey Magic. Having said that, as I only came to Australia 14 years ago, I have actually never watched the more popular Japanese version that was shown in Australia [...]

Ribs, buffalo hot wing and pecan pie. These are my drawcards to lure a group of food bloggers and friend trekking all the way to Lower North Shore for some good American food, the Southern flavours in particular, at the recently opened Blue Plate Bar and Grill at Neutral Bay. Who can run an American [...]

Alexandria is not a suburb I usually would venture out to unless is for client meetings. So when comes to food, I am a little clueless where to go for lunch in this warehouses town. That’s when twitter comes in handy and the knowledgeable ones are more than happy to shed some light on my [...]

The Pom is going back to Pommieland for 2 weeks for his mum’s birthday and decided to fly back unannounced to give her a big surprise. I would have loved to go along with him, but since I’ve just got back from New Zealand for Wellington On a Plate, and it would also be difficult [...]

Once upon a time in a not so far away land… I feel like I have fallen into a rabbit hole, and found myself drinking a mysterious potion called the Dr Jurd’s Jungle Juice at this cosy tavern in Wollombi. Will this Jungle Juice make me grow bigger or smaller, I wonder? And who is [...]

Board games + desserts + BFFs = I AM SO IN! It was Simon‘s Birthday and he herded a group of food bloggers to celebrate this special occasion at Wagaya for dinner then chillax later at a cafe where you can drink, have desserts and play board games! Be very afraid, my inner-geekiness is going [...]

Listen up Sydney, we need more restaurants that open late for supper please. It seems like a common dilemma for most Sydneysiders who are looking for a meal after 10pm but find themselves with no where to go. Living in Sydney amid the cultural melting pot with an amazing array of restaurants but somehow still [...]

I lived in Wollstonecraft for nearly over 2 years and drove past La Grillade almost a gazillion times but somehow never cross my mind to dine in this restaurant. But then I wasn’t seriously food savvy back then (still ain’t now), am always self conscious when come to fine dining. Still am! Finally I got [...]

I am a True Blood fan. Especially season 2, is like a foodblogger’s dreams come true I tell ya! I can’t wait for the season three to come back on air in 2010. Every time I watched that episode when Tara and Eggs eat that blood pie that Maryann baked for them, it totally grossed [...]

This man definitely knows how to A-cha-cha or two. His name is James Sarcasmo, and you probably have seen him at the Paddy’s market or the occasional farmers markets around Sydney during weekends. But little did you know that he is actually one of the first Achacha grower in Australia. Neither do I until a [...]

Chairman Mao is from the Hunan province in China and he loved his red-braised pork (紅燒肉). He even had his personal chef preparing this Hunanese dish to satiate his cravings. This dish has become his legacy and now Sydneysiders are able to try this dish at a Hunanese chinese restaurant in Kensington and undoubtedly the [...]
