As I’ve never been to France before, my idea of a beautiful traditional French restaurant in France would be fresh flowers, velvety chairs, vintage furniture, hot men with sexy French accents, a wide variety of French wines and of course, delicious French dishes that come in small but intricate portions. This description seems to fit [...]

Prahran Market is one of my favourite fresh produce markets to visit. Although not that big, it has a large variety to browse and choose from, not to mention, it houses the awesome Essential Ingredient shop. I obviously can’t afford to buy a lot of the things in the store (such as fresh truffles…), but [...]

Japan is all about the sushi, and you can’t say you’ve had sushi until you’ve at least been to a sushi train. For Yuye and I, one sushi train experience (consumed on day 2 of our trip here) just wasn’t enough to satisfy those unsuppressible sushi cravings so on day 4, we had it again [...]

Whenever I think of alchemists I think of people in cloaks drawing weird circles on the ground, creating fire from thin air, reviving the dead and making weird and wonderful things out of whatever are lying around.

Day 4 in Osaka was a late morning for us yet again. We stayed up watching TV shows as usual and eating snacks we purchased the day before. I think it’s a better idea to do a complete post about all the snacks and drinks we had on the trip at the end just because [...]

There’s something about the name ‘Named For Satan’ that intrigues people, at least it intrigues me. I think it’s the kind of imagery that are conjured up in our sinful minds when we think of those words, and of course, the sinful cravings for something vodka and something pintxo. The tapas bar that is situated [...]

One of the happiest little surprises for me is when I see something I was already going to buy on discount. This was one of the moments when I walked into Myer, thinking I’d buy some kitchen utensils for myself while the end of financial year sale is on, and then picking up the Cheap [...]

The Good Food & Wine Show took place this year in Melbourne between June 3 – 5 2011 in the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. We only had time to go on Friday since batasan had work on Saturday and we were busy on Sunday. I was a little upset that I didn’t get to [...]

This is another one of those coupon nights where I desperately tried to fit in a night out after discovering the coupon was dangerously nearing its expiration date. Yes, this new addiction of purchasing coupons on a whim is dangerous! It also got me a parking fine, but that’s a different story (my very first [...]
