RECIPE: Lap Chang (Chinese Sausage) Fried Rice
There are plenty of traditional fried rice recipes floating around the Internet. Here’s another (with lap chang sausages)! Continue reading
Ocean Room, Circular Quay
I only had a few days in Sydney during my most recent visit but did manage to finally graduate (hurrah!), squeeze in some beach time, and hang out with some of my good buds. Oh, and eat. Lots.
And nary a person was going to stop me from indulging in one of my yearly traditions, Sugar Hit. A creature of quirky habits, I’ve only ever attended the Sugar Hit events hosted at Sydney’s hotels but as a way to drink in as much of my beloved city as possible, I was happy to go along to a restaurant with a Harbour view.

Black Star Pastry – Newtown
I admit it. I rarely venture from King St when I dine in Newtown. It’s a little closed-minded of me, I know but given the overabundance of choices on the main strip, I’ve never had the urge to wander. Black Star Pastry was my first foray into the urban unknown. Continue reading

Mero Mero- Sydney CBD
I hate salad. It’s a pantomime meal. Leafy greens can’t really be chewed nor do they exhibit any strong flavour. Salads are boring.
But on the way home from the gym last week, starving and drained, I craved some sustenance. Continue reading
Xanthi Restaurant & Bar- Sydney CBD
It’s a cruisy Sunday night as I walk into Xanthi’s. I’m catching up with a friend I haven’t seen for a while and what’s better than meeting over a meal? Continue reading

RECIPE: Seriously Chocolatey Crêpe & Fruit Skewers
Think you’ve had good pancakes? Think again.
In the lead up to Pancake Day / Shrove Tuesday, Nutella released a series of recipes that featured it’s prime product, a hazelnut-chocolate spread.
Thinking they weren’t decadent enough, I adapted one to invent my own. Continue reading

Thai-Namic— Canley Vale
I have always been abhorrently repelled by Thai restaurants with a punny name. Thai me up, Thaifoon, Thairanasaurous…I vowed never to enter any of these cheesily named establishments because in my mind, anyone who doesn’t take the name of their restaurant seriously couldn’t possibly take their food seriously.

Baffi & Mo — Redfern
With Movember now in full swing, it seems appropriate that I should find myself lunching at a place named named Baffi (Italian for moustache) & Mo. But as I scan the cafe, Continue reading
