Mrs S – Perth, Western Australia

Billy — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:45:11 +0000

Children book as menu, how adorable! My not-so-recent trip has brought me over to the western side of Australia to conduct a few cooking demonstrations. Work aside, it was the perfect excuse for me to go and check out what they have to offer on the other side of the world. Surprisingly, I am loving [...]

Flair – Erina, Central Coast, NSW

Billy — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:45:44 +0000

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 [...]

Food Society – Darlinghurst, Sydney

Billy — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:44:22 +0000

The G.B.S.C. society. Have you ever asked random strangers that you’ve never met in real life but only corresponded a few times on Twitter out for dinner? Well, I have. Wasn’t sure what they thought of me when I suddenly suggested to ask them out for dinner date. A) a creep, B) a desperate, C) [...]

Naked For Satan – Fitzroy, Melbourne, VIC

Billy — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:46:43 +0000

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 [...]

Leura Garage – Leura, Blue Mountains, NSW

Billy — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:24:13 +0000

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, [...]

House – Surry Hills, Sydney

Billy — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 23:41:07 +0000

Who’s in da ‘House’? The peeps from MasterChef yo! We’d been living out of a suitcase during our time on Masterchef, whilst we were not in the MasterChef house, hotels were our second home, and House, on Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills had become our regular dinner joint. But before we get into the dinner, [...]

Restaurant Arras – Walsh Bay, Sydney

Billy — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 21:04:39 +0000

I’ve been longing to visit Restaurant Arras ever since I’ve read many excellent reviews by food bloggers. But for a lazy moi, its location at Walsh Bay is definitely the major hindrance for an earlier visit. Earlier in March this year, with a little more effort and finally found myself in the restaurant having an [...]

Rick Stein at Bannisters – Mollymook, NSW

Billy — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:00:29 +0000

First and foremost, how are we all? I’ve almost forgotten how exhilarate it can be to spend more time outdoors and get active again. This is the first time I turned on my computer after being absence for over two months. I seriously thought I won’t survived without the internet for more than a week, [...]

The Larder – Wellington, New Zealand

Billy — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:52:45 +0000

Egg porn. Is that the wind blow or I just heard your orgasmic gasp? I don’t blame you because I had the exact same reaction when I pierced the fragile poached egg ever so slightly it burst and my croque madame was suddenly draped with golden yolk that is so sexy, I couldn’t help but [...]

Charlie & Co. Burgers, Westfield Sydney – Sydney CBD, NSW

Billy — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:15:49 +0000

I avoided the stampede for over a month, and finally have my first chance to check out the newly redeveloped Westfield Sydney in Pitt Street Mall. The $1.2 billion makeover has turned Westfield into a glossy black high-fashion shopping paradise, even the dining arcade on top floor can hardly consider a “food court” where most [...]
