Sometimes you find yourself craving cake, but don’t feel like eating something that leaves you with a lingering sugar high. You have an urging desire for that delicate, soft crumb, to consume a scrumptious piece of baked goodness, just not of the sweet variety. Pumpkin is a very versatile ingredient, with a high sugar content…

Opera Bar, Circular Quay
It’s easy to forget about the alluring magnificence and splendour of Sydney Harbour when you actually live in Sydney. Iconic locations like Circular Quay and The Rocks are often overlooked for other unique, culture-rich suburbs considered to be more hip and less crowd-infested. But a visit to the harbour itself presents something of a homely…
Kamikaze Teppanyaki | Guest Post for 2 Hungry Guys
Sometimes all one could yearn for in life is a giant platter of sashimi, decorated with tendrils of cucumber and frolics of wafer-thin carrot. Oh, and a delicately carved carrot butterfly to top it all off. I’m thrilled to have been asked to contribute to 2 Hungry Guys, a delicious Sydney food blog with such…
Tea +, Burwood
With all the salted craze that’s been going around for some time, it comes as no surprise that salted milk froth has become a popular trend of late, particularly in the wide, colourful realm of Asian drinks. It’s a gastronomic flavour combination which seems unusual, but works surprisingly well. Tea + in Burwood is a…
Chur Burger, Surry Hills
I have fond memories of many a finger-licking cheeseburger consumed on our annual family road trips up the coast when I was little. I was always a cheeseburger-happy-meal child, relishing the sweet tomato sauce, tasty mustard and flecks of onion which sandwiched together my flat cheeseburger, in all it’s greasy goodness. Then as I grew…
Black Sesame Tong Yuan
Imagine if someone told you that all the best features of Asian sweets existed in a single dessert. The sticky, chewy texture of mochi, the roasted aroma of black sesame, ginger’s signature hot zing, and the warm fulfilment of a sweet dessert soup, melded together to create what encompasses the pinnacle of everything that I…
Taste of Shanghai, Ashfield
There’s something so enjoyable about eating dumplings. Here are some of the reasons I think why. Dumplings are small, so you can eat a lot of them. They have a very high filling to wrapper ratio, so when you eat a lot they don’t feel as heavy as something wrapped in thicker bread or rice….
Frappe Cafe Bar, Concord
Omelettes! Frappes! Poached eggs! Labneh! Ha, that last one surprised you, didn’t it? There’s only one meal I can be talking about.. And it doesn’t begin with a D or an L. It’s breakfast! What excites me so much about breakfast is not that my stomach hasn’t seen food in 10+ hours (although that may…
Jamie’s Italian, Sydney CBD
Sometimes, when we go to a restaurant that doesn’t take bookings, as we approach the restaurant I will quicken my pace from a leisurely walk to a hurried trot in an attempt to reach the end of the queue before anyone else walking in front of me to said restaurant does. It is as if…
Spiced Pumpkin Pie Recipe
We don’t tend to celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia as much as it’s celebrated in America. Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated widely in the United States, on which thanks is given for the harvest season or simply to celebrate and be thankful for the preceding year. Traditionally held on the fourth Thursday of November,…
