Even though I said in an earlier post that I’m without doubt a meat over seafood kind of person, one type of seafood gets me every single time and that is sashimi (raw seafood slices). For some reason, I find raw seafood a lot nicer to eat (in fact I totally love it to bits) [...]

Yuye and I met up with an old friend from high school and university the other day. He’s been studying an MBA course in Singapore for a long time and we were both excited to see him come back for good. Although we hadn’t spoken for a long time, most of our conversation ended up [...]

I find that persimmons is one of those fruits that people either love or hate. My mum and I both love it to bits and same with Julie, my brother’s girlfriend, but my pattisiere friend Rach wouldn’t touch it. Julie’s parents buy boxes of persimmons every few weeks and goes through them like I would [...]

Yuye and I faced yet another day of undecidedness this week. Specifically, we weren’t sure where we could go for lunch before I started my first styling class at RMIT. As we were heading into inner city, the choices exponentially increased. Then we remembered. Wasn’t there a place we wanted to dine at last time [...]

Even though Yuye and I are both from mainland China, we sometimes have quite different eating habits. For example, as he’s from northern China, he tends to eat a lot of dumplings, buns and congee with his stir fries and other dishes. Whereas my family and I tend to just eat it with rice and [...]

Every now and then I would reminisce about university days, I did spend a good 6 years of my life there after all. Yuye had been craving for ‘sar hor fun’ for quite some time and specifically the ones at Uni Square Cafe right next to the law building at the University of Melbourne. As [...]

Japanese is probably my favourite type of cuisine, although I eat and like pretty much everything since I’m such a glutton. There’s just so many dishes that I crave for all the time like the tonkatsu I mentioned in yesterday’s post, and the various sushi posts I’ve had in the past, even udons, sukiyaki, yakitori…the [...]

It’s the greatest feeling when I find a restaurant that I can say after a meal ‘yes, that’s exactly how I imagined it to be’ or even better, when it exceeds my expectations. It’s also a fantastic feeling when I realised I’ve finally found a restaurant that makes something authentic which I crave for all [...]
