A table for two

I am slowly discovering the beauty of car boot sale, antique shops and fresh farmers markets, is that a sign of old age? Actually, don’t answer it. Apart from eating and cooking, another latest hobby of mine is spending the weekend at the farmers markets. I have to admit I am actually still a newbie [...]

I can never get tired looking at a big slab of pork spare rib on my blog. After visiting the Shin Yokohoma Raumen Museum in Japan last year, I was convinced that I will never find another bowl of ramen that is as good as the one I’ve had in the museum. However, looks like [...]

Forget about the Australian citizenship test, fill out the build your own burger form is the only way to demonstrate you are a real true blue Aussie. No, let me rephrase – fill out the form to create your own custom built burger, then devour it like a real Aussie trooper! That’s exactly what a [...]

Don’t be alarmed, no one is going to be assimilated tonight. This expendable long metal tube is the most efficient smoke extraction fan I’ve ever come across in a Korean BBQ restaurant. If you have been to a Korean BBQ restaurant, then I am sure you will be familiar with the Eau de Grease aftershave [...]

Why is it so difficult to find a restaurant that opens after 10pm in Sydney CBD? I find it hard to believe that Sydney is a big city yet there are not many restaurants that open late. Friends from overseas laughed at me when I told them the shopping malls here in Australia closed at [...]

We love our tapas at Tatler in Hunter Valley. Unfortunately the “no dog” policy means we won’t be dining there while we have our pooch, Amelie with us on a day trip. I am actually not surprised at all and prepared to face the rejections. It is a matter of keep trying until we found [...]

Swine flu?! What Swine flu? Have to admit I rather enjoy seeing Swine Flew. (video by Grabyourfork) This week gone rather quick especially when I am swamped with work, pile loads of them. Of course is not always a bad thing, and I did manage to sneak out last night to a food blogger outing [...]

*slurp~ slurp~* Amelie has one scoop of vanilla ice cream on a cone all to herself?! Yes way! And can you believe the ice cream is FREE? Thanks to Annie’s! Isn’t she spoilt or what? The Annie’s Ice Cream Parlour (aka Annie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlour) in Bathurst is a MUST visit. Right on [...]

Our friend, Big D was born and grew up in Bathurst. He inherited all his father’s knowledge of the town, who was a historian and written a numerous books about the whole town of Bathurst. This explains why Big D knows every single street and shop in the town like the back of his hand. [...]

First of all, please forgive me for these shocking hideous pictures. I didn’t bring along a proper DSLR camera and only had a point-n-shoot compact digital camera. Hence, this is the best I can do. Second of all, if you are a Chinese food nazi and absolutely despise sweet and sour sauce, black bean sauce [...]

“A little less conversation, a little more action please All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me A little more bite and a little less bark A little less fight and a little more spark Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me, satisfy me baby” – Elvis Presley Elvis ‘The King’ Presley [...]

Where the bloody hell is BOURKE? When author Henry Lawson came to Bourke, he claimed, ‘If you know Bourke, you know Australia.‘ Well, that was back in 1893 when he said that, but Bourke has changed a lot since. Nonetheless, Bourke is still considered as the gateway to the real outback of Australia till these [...]

“Cheers!”- a contagious chant and the clinking sound of wine glasses are still ringing in my ears from this year Terrigal Food and Wine Fair. This event also marked a year since I moved up to Central Coast. We were informed by the real estate agent about this event last year while inspecting the new [...]

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 [...]
