Among all the excitement, some friends are holding an exhibition as part of the festival on the 18th of October.

Let the good food year start!
The 2010 SMH Good Food Guide is out and it’s nice to see a number of new restaurants newly hatted. Restaurant of the year is Quay with Chef of the year going to Mark Best from Marque. I have a very soft spot for Quay, a particular memory stood out of having dinner one evening… Continue reading Let the good food year start!
So French…in London
A very dear friend came for a visit last fortnight and true to style we ended up spending most of our time eating and drinking in London. Despite its at times, well deserved reputation of the city where a tastebud is an abstract concept, we managed to entertain ourselves drinking and eating our merry ways… Continue reading So French…in London
Made you look
It had been more than a month since my last post, surprisingly the lack of activity is due to being distracted with too many things happening in the background rather than lack of it. I had been a little slack with photography, this automatically cut the number of possible posts drastically. Take last Thursday for… Continue reading Made you look

It’s hard to believe that a week ago I was still recovering from jet lag and a week before, I was back in Australia.… Continue reading All packed up and nowhere to go

Speaking of the former and not the latter, a good friend of mine brought my… Continue reading Contemplating my stomach – Fratelli Fresh

I had a rather brilliant weekend with the MCA zine fair on Sunday and catching up with a good friend on Saturday. The zine fair was a lot of fun and I picked up a number of zines and walked away feeling rather inspired. I’ll blog about in a while once I finish downloading some… Continue reading Nippon Club
Nuts and ball and how I was defeated by a dessert
There are very few times in life when armed with a spoon or fork or both that I fail to tackle a vulnerable looking dessert, but when confronted with this baseball size dessert appropriately named Nuts and Ball created as a homage to a snicker bar I had to admit defeat. It was a Tuesday… Continue reading Nuts and ball and how I was defeated by a dessert
Sydney Growers Market or why waking up early is good for your stomach
For the past goodness know how many years, I have managed to commit the cardinal sin of sleeping through the first Saturday of the month and not go to the Sydney Growers Market. In my defence, the market is open only between the indecent hours of 7 – 11 Am. So unless you are a… Continue reading Sydney Growers Market or why waking up early is good for your stomach
