I did 2 things differently last night that I normally wouldn't have done when I visit a restaurant. Number 1, I didn't read Urbanspoon reviews and comments. Number 2 (which is probably the more important one) I didn't even read the name of the restaurant until I finished eating! The first I wouldn't call a Read More

I've always liked cooking a dish and then serving it in the ingredient's 'shell'. It seems like such a fun process, not to mention making the dish look more appealing and would probably enhance the flavours as well. That's exactly what I did with this delicious Thai pineapple fried rice. I found a HUGE and Read More

After being at university for a long 6 years, I often wonder what good actually came out of it, apart from finding a job of course. I hardly remember a lot of what I learnt in class and have since forgotten the names and faces of many classmates. Some became lifelong friends and many went Read More

Following part 1 of my unforgettable 2 days at Regional Victoria's spa town Daylesford and having dinner at the fabulous Farmers Arms, I was ready for another day of good food and good fun. Daylesford isn't a big town by any means. If you're looking for a lot to do then you're probably wrong. But Read More

It's interesting how siblings who grow up in the same household can come to like and dislike completely different things.

What makes the whole coffee drinking experience even more unbearably good is the coffee art. I can't resist pretty things, the prettier the Read More

One day maybe 2 years ago, I was in the kitchen making brunch. For those of you who know me better, breakfast or brunch usually involve some form of eggs. I usually opt for the poached or fried variety using free range or organic eggs. The yolk has to be runny as runny can be Read More

Although this post is about a wonderful trip I had recently to the beautiful Daylesford in Victoria, famous for their spas and fantastic restaurants, I would be lying if I said the entire experience was rosy. Yes, I just have a tiny little complaint I wanted to vent out before I start rambling about the Read More

I love finding new restaurants, especially ones that are close to home. Recently my good friend Winnie took a few of us out for dinner at a restaurant that was deemed 'her favourite Cantonese restaurant' and she said it was in Mount Waverley. My head immediately started to dig through all the Cantonese restaurants I Read More
