One of the things that I really don’t like doing is servicing my car. When I bought my car, I signed up to a deal where if I service it once a year, I can get extended warranty on it for free. When I hear I get anything for free, I always get sucked in, […]…
I admit, I am easily amused. Every little joke that Yuye cracks can make me laugh uncontrollably even though it might not actually be funny. So the names that cafes and restaurants give themselves can often amuse me as well, like in this instance. I loved the play on words, although I’m not quite sure […]…
I’ve contemplated time and time again whether or not I should blog about this restaurant. The photos never turn out well because of the lighting and the food doesn’t look all that nice to photograph anyway. I tend to go there a lot because a friend of mine lives very close by and he absolutely […]…
As much as I love my brother, sometimes receiving calls from him can get a bit daunting. His calls usually mean he needs me to pick him up from somewhere, take him to somewhere or he needs some other sort of favour. Sometimes where he needs to go is quite far. Sometimes I do get […]…
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 […]…
I’ve noticed that I have a subconscious aversion to writing about Chinese restaurants and Chinese food, even though it’s the type of cuisine I eat the most (being Chinese and all). I have many photos from Chinese restaurants in my backlog but every time I look at them, I somehow get discouraged and don’t feel […]…
One of the few things that can brighten up my day instantly is none other than unexpectedly finding a fantastic restaurant. After brief discussions in the car on the way to a friend’s house the other day, Yuye suggested “let’s just eat somewhere close and on the way”. I was going to pull over at […]…
Are you a person who likes to order everything on the menu? I know I do and I do it all the time. At the conclusion of every meal when I order too much, I tell Yuye to stop me next time so I don’t make the same mistake again. But you know what? It’s […]…
We went to Bombay By Night for a friend’s birthday recently and I was quite interested to see what it was like since this restaurant has been on The Age Good Food Guide every year since 1996 (except 1998 and 1999, I don’t know what happened there). The first thing we noticed about the place […]…
We walked passed Asakusa on the way to MSY a few weeks ago and since then, we’ve been for dinner twice. I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this restaurant earlier despite it being on the Age Cheap Eats every year since 2006. It is located near the corner of busy Waverley Rd and […]…
