Massive Wieners, Prahran

July 28, 2012 Burgers/Sandwiches

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 [...]

Tofu Nao, a Northern China breakfast dish

July 26, 2012 Chinese

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 [...]

Coffeehead, Camberwell

July 24, 2012 Breakfast/brunch

There’s nothing like waking up to the aromatic smell of freshly brewed and ground coffee. But since I don’t have a coffee roaster in my home (nor do I even have a coffee machine), the next best thing is to have breakfast at a coffee brewer plus cafe.

Baked eggs with spinach, pancetta & bocconcini

July 23, 2012 Eggs

One day a few weeks ago, I had unfortunately run out of eggs. It was raining outside and my car was in for service so there was no option to run out and get some. I felt very jittery and uncomfortable for the whole day, wondering whether maybe I should call my mum to drop [...]

Uni Square Cafe, Carlton

July 22, 2012 Asian

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 [...]

Beef & enoki mushroom rolls

July 21, 2012 Beef

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 [...]

Gypsy & Pig (Japanese restaurant), Melbourne

July 20, 2012 Asian

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 [...]

Frangelico & chocolate mousse with Baileys cream

July 18, 2012 Chocolate

It was me and Yuye’s 8 year anniversary on Monday since we started dating. In the blink of an eye it has already been that long. We’ve been through so much like most couples would have and on occasions we almost broke up. But we’ve undergone the test of time and survived, that’s what matters [...]

Lucky Coq, Windsor – seriously cheap and delicious pizzas

July 17, 2012 Bar

I’ve been finding myself at the busy Chapel St junction a lot recently. With David’s just off Chapel and Borsch Vodka & Tears around the corner, our next dining spot was at Lucky Coq which is right on the corner of the intersection for some seriously cheap pizzas and beers.

Baked eggs with potatoes and anchovies

July 16, 2012 Eggs

I recently purchased 2 clay baking pots that are perfect for baking eggs. Baked eggs are addictive, especially in this chilling weather. Tasting a piping hot mouthful of oozy egg yolks mixed with soft chunks of tomatoes and baked potatoes is the perfect way to pass a lazy Sunday.
