A table for two

The show offers three jam packed days of food, wine, chocolate, cheese, kitchen gadgets… Yes! Kitchen Gadgets!!! Also with hundreds of stalls showcasing produce from around the world. [...]

Let the challenge begin! Those words “Cook Off” are still ringing in my ear, and I don’t think I am ready to face those words for quite some time. When there are food involved, it is almost effortless to get a group of food bloggers together for a dinner party, but with a twist. Ellie, [...]

See, smell and taste. There are three giant prints of famous Fornasetti‘s plates on the wall, presumably depicts the three core senses how we should enjoy our food. That’s exactly what chef Warren Turnbull wants us to experience upon stepping inside his restaurant. Tonight we are dining at Assiette, a two chef’s hat french restaurant [...]

A friend in need is a friend indeed. I prefer not to write about my personal life story on my food blog because firstly, it is totally unrelated topic and secondly, I am always cautious about sharing my personal life story on the interwebs. But right now I think it is an appropriate moment for [...]

I love when friends keep reminding me that I passed my used-by-date in a subtle way, like inviting you to a 21st birthday for instance (Bloody Gen-Y!) God knows how long ago that I attended a 21st birthday and definitely wouldn’t want to be reminded my fashion sense back then. Be gone the 90s’! Jacq [...]

Korean Fried Chicken FTW! It’s KFC, but the different kind. That’s right, the ones that taste even better than Kentucky Fried Chicken! I am talking about Korean Fried Chicken here. Let’s just say, Korean Fried Chicken is sooooo 2007 in NYC, but here in Australia I don’t think there are many people heard of this [...]

This is a story about a Shanghai Girl and a Malaysian Boy. Many moons ago, Malaysian Boy met Shanghai Girl through Flickr. It was a love at first sight connection that has bound them together ever since. But one day, Malaysian Boy made a tough decision by leaving things behind, and going anywhere around the [...]

How many types of salt have you tasted? For me, I would say possibly two or three, until the day I found myself surrounded by chefs, salt purveyors and food writers all in one room, slowly curing ourselves like an aged meat with 15 different kinds of salt from all over the world. Big thanks [...]

The Ootoro has sold out, we’ve been told. After hearing Richard raving about the fatty tuna ootoro at Masuya Japanese Seafood Restaurant, it is the only one dish that I am really looking forward to experience. To my dismay, we are informed by the waitress that it has been sold out for this evening, sadness. [...]

As mentioned on my about page, one of the reasons how this blog was started is because of FOFO. FOFO is a social group on Flickr where we share the same passion towards food and photography will go out and eat… with cameras of course. Unfortunately, the group has been shamefully neglected for over 8 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sydney is slowly warming up to the new concept of “secret dinner” which a group of strangers will be randomly selected for a dinner party where the venue will only be revealed on the exact date via SMS or email. I am a sucker for surprises; if I was a cat, I definitely the first [...]
