Momofuku Ssäm Bar
David Chang, a Korean-American born in Washington DC is the chef and owner of a string of successful restaurants that has local New Yorkers addictively queueing up outside every door and fighting over every online booking.

Cakes Delivered: Sydney CBD
Our office is full of celebrations (and sweet tooths!) Whether it is a birthday, an anniversary, a welcome, a farewell, or an occasion we fabricate, there is only one universal reason why we all love to celebrate: CAKE.

Tangyuen (Glutinous Rice Ball)
I’m still not too sure whether Tangyuen is eaten during the Mid Autumn Festival (中秋節) alongside mooncakes to celebrate the full moon. Tāngyuán is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour. The glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked...

Everything in very tongue-in-cheek on the menus and the atmosphere is cheerful, casual and happy. Due to time constraints, we dug straight into the main course of the...
Singapore Sling
Special thanks to Alex for some excellent food-guiding! I realized that a trip to Singapore is actually cheaper than a trip to Melbourne / Hunter Valley for a long weekend… so aboard the new A380 – off I went for a 48 hour binge.
A tip: Row 80 on the upper deck on the new A380 – so...
