Pasta Party at The Italian Bowl, Newtown

I don’t think there is anything quite like the humble bowl of pasta in the world of comfort food. There’s probably not a single person I know who would turn down a bowl of pasta. It has such universal appeal, and can be cooked in so many different ways that it’s hard notto say no….

A look into a Chinese Wedding Banquet at Rhodes Phoenix

Chinese wedding banquets are big affairs. They are a quintessential part of the traditional Chinese wedding, and often whole restaurants will be booked out for the special occasion. Family and friends will gather after the wedding ceremony to share an impressive feast can consist of more than ten different courses. Food served at these banquets…

Isaac Toast: a South Korean sandwich specialty

Travelling gives you a licence to be adventurous with your daily diet. Breakfast, in particular, is a meal that instantly becomes so exciting to eat in foreign countries.  The breakfasts we ate on our trip to South Korealate last year ranged from cheap gimbap (Korean-style sushi) and samgak gimbap (triangular rice balls) from the local 7 Eleven,…

Four ate five, Surry Hills

Cafes are the perfect place to enjoy a lazy weekend lunch. Or breakfast. Or any weekend meal, for that matter.  We are walking down Crown Street one Sunday, looking for somewhere to eat lunch, when we come across Four ate five. At just past 12pm, the small, lively joint full to the brim with people…

Chiswick, Woollahra

I must admit that I am often envious of those who are able to grow their own fruit and veg in their gardens at home. We have tried on multiple occasions to start our own mini veggie patch, with very little luck at all. There was a brief summer or two when our backyard was…

What I ate in South Korea | 10 dishes you must try

A few months ago, I traveled with a friend to the exhilarating country of South Korea. We spent two weeks eating, sightseeing and shopping our way through Seoul, Gyeongju and Busan, discovering local traditions, new places and fascinating foods every day.

Korean Street Food & Snacks

There is so much street food in South Korea that you could pretty much eat your way around the country without having anything else. It’s extremely popular among the locals, who love a good street-side snack as they commute home from work, school, or wander around the busy shopping districts. The food you’ll find on…

Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta, Bondi

I never get tired of visiting Bondi. Whether it be for the sunny beach, laid-back surfer vibe, the hip cafes or beach-front restaurants, there is always something to do in the iconic Sydney suburb. A little further down Hall Street and away from crowds of the waterfront strip is The Hub, a two-storey food precinct…

Feeling the heat at Thousand Spices, Homebush

Thousand Spices is our local go-to Indian restaurant. Introduced to us by a family friend, the food is home-cooked, authentic Indian fare, served in generous portions at affordable prices. The modest, homely restaurant sits unassumingly right across the road from Homebush station. Whenever we feel like Indian food for dinner, whether it be eat-in or takeaway,…
