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.
Recently I purchased from Pastry Perfection: It is an online site who not only offers...
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...
Beijing Da Dong Restaurant
The waiter gave us an introduction to how this is to be eaten traditionally. You eat the duck skin first, by dipping it in sugar. It tastes amazing – cripsy with a moist juicy centre, it is fat but there is no excess oil. Then you place the rest of the meat on your pancake. You either use...
Gordon Ramsey
At the good food and wine show Sydney!
I always thought I was crazy for chefs (being a bit of a chef groupie), that was, until I went to Gordon’s show. My lord are the middle aged ladies crazy for the guy! Gordon fits extremely well in a live audience setting. His crude and offending humour on...
Wagaya
Situated at the old Narita Teppanyaki – 73 Harbour St, Haymarket, Wagaya is the new Izakaya restaurant with an on-screen ordering system (and you know me, being a digital media buff – LOVE digital screen networks on ANYTHING) that takes the pain out of ordering from a non-English speaking...
Ivy Mad Cow
After working at the Ivy for months I have actually never visited Mad Cow for a decent meal. What a great business lunch destination! 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...
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...
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!
