After talking about doing a planned tour of Sydney’s Community Club, we finally went to our second community club as one of the Midweek Supper Group outings (the Japanese Club, being the first and I still need to blog it!). Yewenyi suggested the Portuguese Community Club in Marrickville and that fit the bill of being… Continue reading MSG #19 – Sydney Portugal Community Club Restaurant Marrickville
Blue berry pie and getting back into nature
So I have started doing a bit of baking again. The cold weather and the presence of someone with a very sweet tooth around means there is human garbage can I can feed my failed attempts to. I had my eye on Bill Granger’s recipe for Blue Berry Pie recipe from his “Feed Me Now”… Continue reading Blue berry pie and getting back into nature
New start and dancing with dinosaurs
My Havainas died the other day after 8 years of wandering around the globe and back twice over. Coincidentally around the same time, I gave my notice and I’m waiting for my new role to start in early May. It’s the end of one chapter, and the start of a new chapter. Not sure if… Continue reading New start and dancing with dinosaurs
Malaysian Kitchen Market – but don’t bring your vegetarian friends here
Nearly a quarter into the year and this year is crazily moving a little too quick for me yet again. I remembered thinking that I should post the photo above in early January and almost 2 months later here we are. So what’s new? Sydney seemed to have really picked up recently with the Malaysian… Continue reading Malaysian Kitchen Market – but don’t bring your vegetarian friends here
Sydney Festival 2011 and the magical luminarium Mirazozo
There are still a couple of GBs of photos from last year, but I had to push them aside and start uploading photos from the Sydney Festival. I have been looking forward to this event the moment the brochure landed in my mailbox late last year. Every year the Sydney Festival seems to grow just… Continue reading Sydney Festival 2011 and the magical luminarium Mirazozo
Sydney 2010 – 2011
Just like that 2011 is here and although this post had been sitting on my draft for a while, I never had the chance to post it until this side of 2011. I have too many things to post and not enough time to do reflect and upload in 2010. Doesn’t help that my… Continue reading Sydney 2010 – 2011
October is the month to be
Been a little distracted with life in general. I’m not quite sure what happened in the past few months, but I am running on minimum sleep with very little time to glance at the rear view mirror and write about anything anymore. Stretched so thin I’m cellophane’s second cousin twice removed. That being said, I… Continue reading October is the month to be
Burgers in the Concrete City – NY part 1 of many
Time is a ticking and there are still so many more photos to upload from New York. New York in summer is rather glorious, despite the scalding bitumen. On a summer day, a lunch break at the Shake Shack consisting of burger and shakes is a must have experience. There is no such thing as… Continue reading Burgers in the Concrete City – NY part 1 of many
Bit of sunshine – back to the digital land
Goodness, I have been away for so long that Flickr looks completely foreign to me! It’d been busy two months, I went away to New York and came back with more photos than time to upload and share with the world. In the meantime, I’m fiddling with a bundle of silky sun shine thanks to… Continue reading Bit of sunshine – back to the digital land
Bonus MSG Supper – Mado Cafe
It’s a Saturday evening and I am running late for the bonus supper in Auburn, cursing the western bound traffic on Parramatta Road all the way until I reached Mado Cafe. Brian, K and KL were already waiting as I rushed in apologising before sinking into one of the booths against the side of the… Continue reading Bonus MSG Supper – Mado Cafe
