It turned out that I needed to go overseas next Friday as Yuye’s relative is very sick and so I had to move the trip forwards. That’s only a week away. It has thrown all of my plans out the window. Originally I wanted to write up posts and schedule them throughout the trip at [...]

Sometimes food just speak for themselves. It’s especially so on a sunny afternoon at a beautiful coffee and brunch place in a trendy part of town. I feel like food is better when I get to take beautiful photos too. Is that too biased for a foodie? I apologise if it is but it’s not [...]

As the Chinese New Year celebrations will continue for 15 days (and they really started a few weeks ago as well), Melbourne will be seeing a lot of festivity in the major Asian populated suburbs – for dates and locations of festivals, refer to the end of the post. I was lucky enough to be [...]

Today is Chinese New Year’s (CNY) Eve (or also known as the Spring Festival, marking the first day of Spring on the Lunar Calendar) and like most Chinese/Asian families, we’ll be spending the night at home, enjoying a wonderful home cooked meal while watching Chinese singing and dancing on TV. We have satellite TV at [...]

I mentioned in a previous post that I don’t post about Chinese restaurants even though that makes up half of my dining experiences and I’ve finally realised why. Every time we go to Chinese restaurants, it’s with my parents. My dad is quite against me taking photos of food. He thinks it’s rude to the [...]

After our meal at Seven Seeds, I wasn’t yet satisfied as I didn’t have any dessert. Seven Seeds didn’t offer any particularly drool worthy cakes or desserts so Racheese and I ditched the boys and ventured out to South Melbourne where Chez Dre resides. It was a little hidden gem amongst the small alleyways. [...]

I’ve been feeling a bit drowsy and not as energetic lately. I thought it may have been a combination of my friend’s wedding preparations and a bit of insomnia but I realised last Friday that it was also due to a lack of coffee and a good brunch! The last time I had brunch out [...]

I know I said I was going to try writing one post a day. That was part of my 2012 New Years resolution. Just 2 weeks after New Years, I’ve already missed 2 days and will be missing another one tomorrow. Feeling a bit ashamed at my lack of endurance, I hope you can forgive [...]

I always have a bad habit of judging a book by its cover, whether it’s people, food or something else. That’s why I easily trust people, taking first impressions and appearances as everything and sometimes get hurt by it. I treat food the same way, it must look good before I’m even willing to take [...]
