Asia fine dining (continued!)
Apart from local, traditional treats, there are a few excellent recommendations I would like to share during my recent trip away. Now bear with me, I’m really hungover…
Robuchon a Galera at Hotel Lisboa – Joel Robuchon being one of my favorite chefs… this was one of the places I couldn’t wait to try! A lot [...]
Central Baking Depot
Near the corner of Kent and Erskine St, next to Laksa King. Opened by the people at Bourke Street Bakery
They bake twice a day, so if you buy bread home after work, it would be fresh out of the oven. Opens til 6pm!
Hearty beef pie (with soft chunks of braised meat) [...]
Wet Cat
A conversation that just happened in the office:
Guy (stares out the window): “Shit, it’s raining, and I left the cat out!
You know what I’m gonna get when I get home – a wet pussy!”
Anyway!
I tried to create a simple poached salmon dish for dinner last night. The key was to only use one bowl (minimum [...]
Hong Kong… Kowloon Hong Kong…
…I like Hong Kong…
I have a spare moment at work (mind you, it’s already 8pm Thursday evening before the Easter long weekend) to blog about some of the amazing Chinese food that I dearly miss so much in Sydney. It doesn’t even compare – not even close!
Wonton noodles at 何洪記 (Ho Hung Kee) 2 [...]
Back in town
Currently…
snowed under a pile of work
sick from the recent flu outbreak in Hong Kong
just picked up my missing suitcase due to the baggage handler’s strike yesterday
really really broke from excessive spending
annoyed that I’m back into the grind
Will update in a few days – boy do I have food porn for you!
formerly known as…. Pinkami
I’ve changed my username to Amuse_Bouche. I felt I needed to rid my highschool identity, and plus, I think it’s very fitting, since Amuse bouches are my most favored part of a meal. It’s a small explosion of flavour that amuses your tastebuds while you wait for the arrival of your first course. Not to mention, it’s [...]
Fuuuully sik
Dedicated to my favorite Leb
A low fat, low carb meal that tastes so good, for only around 500 calories! Great for serving guests as a sharing plate, because prep time is under 10 minutes.
2/5 pack of Haloumi cheese, sliced in .5cm thickness
100ml organic tomato puree (the chunky kind)
dried oregano
1 clove garlic, grated
1 piece of pancetta
Ronny’s [...]
2am call for soup
I got home from work at around 2am last night, and really felt like a warm chinese soup after a 16 hour day… without a lot of sleep in the past week. I’ve been getting flu like symptoms all week and I really wanted to get better before I fly to HK on Tuesday. Anyway, [...]
