Shark’s Fin on Chawanmushi
My ultra short trip to Kuala Lumpur was exactly that. Between all the events that happen amongst wedding celebrations, I hardly had any time to explore the city. I did try to catch a taxi to Sek Yuen, only to find that it was closed mid afternoon on a Friday. He stopped by a take-away stand so we...
Potato and Leek Soup with prosciutto
What a better way to post hearty soup recipes, when most of you are approaching winter, and I’m stuck at home with four of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. The nurse at the day surgery gave me a guideline for a “soft diet” which I have to maintain for at least 7 days. It includes...
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
Never did I ever expect Peking Duck to be this good, until you visit the source of where it originates: Beijing. The ducks are roasted using a traditional wooden stove and it is prepared for you by the master chef as soon as it is cooked to perfection. This is probably one of the most famous Peking...
L’Etoile Restaurant
L’EToile Restaurant & Bar Paddington
Good service should be rewarded – I must admit, I was acting like a spoilt princess when I found out that the ‘outdoor table for 9′ that I booked ended up set by the entrance to the restaurant. The server saw the disappointment in my face...
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...
Palm Cove
I headed to tropical North Queenland for Queen’s birthday long weekend and stayed two nights in Palm Cove to catch up on some R&R at the Angsana Resort
The one bedroom suites were more than accomodating in size with fully equipped kitchen (decked out with Miele appliances) and large bedroom...
Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon
“It’s so bad, it’s good.”
Not your usual Fifth Ave
Visited Blacktown on Sunday to pick up my new baby in an arms deal. In the spirit of the United States we decided to visit Lone Star Steakhouse on the way home – to join the bridge and tunnel crowd (it’s just like...

My first attempt at Korean
You’re welcome to critique at anything I’ve done wrong – I felt a little lost shopping in the Korean section of the Asian grocer. I couldn’t read nor pronounce anything! All I know, is that I’ve always missed the Galbi Tang from Chosun Galbee in LA… and I’ve...
