Interior photos courtesy of Wasamedia I find Indian cuisine both fascinating and beautiful. It’s steeped in so much history, with influences from the British and surrounding Asian countries sprouting countless regional variations. Complimented by the extensive use of a vast array of spices and aromatics, it’s an amazing, but I find somewhat misunderstood, cuisine – there’s much more to Indian … Read More

When terms like ‘free range’ and ‘organic’ have become marketing buzzwords, it’s refreshing to find a restaurant that is truly passionate about the origins of the food that they’re serving. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of Grasslands Beef at an event held simultaneously at Chophouse and Kingsleys. Grasslands is the newest … Read More

As the Malaysia Kitchen Bloggers Summit draws to a close this week, I’d like to thank Greg and the team for asking me to be involved in this month-long discovery of Malaysian food. I loved trying lots of new dishes at lots of new restaurants, each one doing some dishes particularly well, and I’d be hard pressed to choose a … Read More

We arrive at Malacca Straits a few minutes early for our Friday night booking. The restaurant is tucked away inside the Quadrant Building’s courtyard, just off Broadway, and was bustling when we arrived. The girls and I had pre-perused the menu online and were looking forward to trying pretty much all of the specials! We’re now into Week 3 of … Read More

“You have too much food!” the waitress told us, as we were putting in our order for dinner at Kopitiam Cafe in Ultimo. Between two small girls (who each left with large takeaway containers holding the food we couldn’t finish) we have to admit that she was right. But in our defence, there were so many dishes on the menu … Read More

This month, I’ve been chosen as a Blog Ambassador for Malaysia Kitchen, with the task of eating my way around Sydney’s Malaysian food scene. It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it! While I am not Malaysian, and I’ve never visited the country, I am absolutely in love with the food and culture thanks to the influences of … Read More

Duck and pinot, two of my favourite things, and a match made in heaven! They seem to bring out each other’s best qualities. We were gathered at The Devonshire in Surry Hills on a chilly Tuesday evening, in celebration of this famous combination. During the month of July, seven of Sydney’s top restaurants have hosted the ‘Duck Trail’ with each … Read More

I had never really rated Alexandria as a foodie hotspot, but several great establishments have opened up in the last few months, including this little gem of a gastro pub called 4143 at the James Barnes. It’s run by Dedes Group, who also own Deckhouse, Dedes Restaurant and Flying Fish. This bar and bistro is located in the old (but … Read More

I am truly lucky to be surrounded by such awesome people. For my birthday last month, Steph and Karen whisked Steve and I over the bridge to Burnt Orange in Mosman. We had been to the fantastic homewares shop downstairs quite a few times but had never eaten at the café there. And what could be better than lunch with … Read More

When you visit a restaurant that has been hyped up and written about all over the place, it’s always tricky to know what to expect. Will it live up to your expectations? In the case of Ms G’s, I’m happy to say that it did. The name is a tongue-in-cheek take on everyone’s favourite flavour enhancer, monosodium glutamate, with its … Read More
