After two weeks of travelling around Japan we tourists were in dire need or a red meat fix. Not quite used to the Japanese diet of rice, fish, chicken and seafood every day – with little fresh fruit or vegetables – our iron levels had slowly decreased throughout the trip to leave us slow, tired…

Mint Pho & Cuisine, Burwood
Along the main strip of Burwood Road you’re likely to find a number of Chinese eateries and shops. A LOT of Chinese shops, in fact – particularly on the southern end of the station (not the Westfield end). It’s not hard to find your ubiquitous Asian convenience/grocery store, butchery, restaurant or BBQ meats shop on Burwood…
A taste of Thai at Buddha Raksa, Enfield
You know those homey restaurants you visit with your family when you’re little? The ones you come to so often that you become friends with the owner, who always greets you with a warm and friendly hello each time you visit (although sometimes those visits don’t occur for a long time..)? Buddha Raksa, located on the busy strip…
La Disfida Enoteca Pizza, Haberfield
I love Italian food. Being a Chinese-born Australian living in Sydney, I’m exposed to a plethora of different cuisines that are constantly teasing my nose and tastebuds. Despite being an avid Asian food lover, Italian cuisine is also close to my heart, and one of my other favourites. Growing up in the inner west, I would…
Japanese sweets & street food
Japan is a glorious place if you love trying new foods. Everywhere you wander in Japan, there always seems to be an abundance of snacks and sweets and meals that will stave your hunger at any time of the day. Whether its wagashi, onigiri, bubble tea or ice cream, there was definitely no shortage of delicious Japanese…
The real Ramen experience at Ichiran Ramen, Tokyo (Shinjuku)
Ichiran is ramen on steroids. Gourmet ramen, if you can call it that. An amazing foodie adventure full of ramen, tempura, udon, ramen, soba, rice was the main highlight of our recent holiday to Japan and Malaysia (besides the occasional pizza, which turns out to be not that unusual in Japan..). One of the most memorable eateries we…
Din Tai Fung and the art of Xiao Long Bao
Being Asian, I’m a sucker for all Asian food – whatever cuisine it may be. We often go to eateries in the suburbs of Flemington, Burwood and Ashfield when we’re in the mood for a cheap, wholesome Asian feed and always leave feeling extremely full and satisfied. Din Tai Fung, being the only one of…
Pieno, Surry Hills
Whenever we are given the exciting opportunity of going out to eat (a much-loved past-time), you’ll always find me hastily Googling restaurants and thumbing through my Good Food Guide to scour out new and exciting places for us to venture out to. I find myself in this situation more often that not, but it always seems to end with us visiting a…
Paris Seafood Cafe, La Perouse
What better day to visit La Perouse than on Father’s Day? I’d never visited this area before, but driving through the eastern suburbs to get to there we passed lots of places that I vaguely remember from our previous travels. We’d planned to go to the area for a nice Father’s Day fish n’ chips on the beach,…
