I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole ‘foodie’ concept lately, and I must admit, I’m really not a very good one. The portfolio of restaurants that I’ve been to can’t even compare to some of my ‘non-foodie’ friends and when people ask me whether I’ve been to so-and-so, my answer is usually “no, I’ve [...]

Mexican food has been high on the agenda lately. It kind of started with Racheese showing me her prized present from a friend who recently returned from USA – a lollipop with a worm in the middle. I wasn’t too fond of the idea and neither did she, but it did get me thinking. I [...]

I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately. Not sure if it’s the increasingly cold weather or I’ve just been eating too much. The lethargy, the back pains, the occasional insomnia is all getting to me. I’m yearning to be somewhere warm, lay on the beach and take out my summer wardrobe again. The [...]

I recently discovered a newish food blog that concentrates on breakfast joints around Melbourne, they call themselves ‘Judging Your Breakfast‘. I loved this idea (and their name) of just blogging about breakfasts because it has a clear focus, and because my blog is slowly turning into one of them too! I’m finding myself blogging more [...]

Those who know me would know that I love desserts, but don’t really have a sweet tooth. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach when it comes to desserts which is a shame. A few months ago, I visited Burch & Purchese in South Yarra which is famous for their beautiful dessert creations by [...]

Coming back home after being overseas for so long really overwhelmed me. I felt a sense of pride for this land and maybe for the first time (properly) realised that there’s a combination of delicious foods here that makes Melbourne, and Australia, so different to the rest of the world. There’s something about Melbourne that [...]

I knew I was going to miss western food and coffee even before I came to Beijing. I’ve been craving and craving but the 2 coffees I’ve had here so far were both terrible beyond description. I’m glad my stomach managed to partly stock up on caffeine and eggs before the trip but I was [...]

It’s strange how lethargic I’ve felt in the last few days. Yuye and I packed on Sunday, all ready to take a flight to China last Monday night but plans changed yet again and we’re now scheduled to head to the airport in less than 3 hours. When I found out I couldn’t leave Monday [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
