Some say that you’re either a pasta lover or pizza fiend. Me? I have a hard time choosing one over the other – the slippery, saucy calls of al dente pasta are equally as enticing as the crisp, puffed crust and steaming oozy cheesiness of a pizza fresh from the oven. The Sydney CBD branch…

Going it spicy at Spice Temple, Sydney CBD
It amazes me how interior designers are able to integrate alluring spaces into the most unsuspecting areas. Spice Temple’s inconspicuous entrance – a hologram-like doorway tucked into a crevice to the side of Rockpool’s grand façade on Hunter Street – is a case in point. Walk down the yellow-tinted stairwell to basement level, where you’ll…
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…
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…
Goshu Ramen Tei, Wynyard
Irasshaimase (いらっしゃいませ) ! That’s a phrase you’ve probably heard often when eating at a Japanese restaurant, shouted above the sounds of the kitchen and buzz of diners by single or multiple sushi chefs as new patrons enter through the door. It means ‘welcome’, but what you probably didn’t know is that it’s also common for shop…
Sokyo at the Star, Pyrmont
When I was little I always looked forward to reaching the age when I’d finally be old enough to go out to a fancy restaurant and order beautiful food and eat with multiple numbers of forks and knives. Sadly, that dream is one yet unfulfilled, but I have come pretty close in the way of…
Chat Thai @ Westfield Sydney
Step into the grand, glass-fronted building of Westfield Sydney off Pitt Street Mall and it becomes clear that this shopping centre boasts the allure of retail therapy on a whole new level. From the concierge with its exquisitely marbled counter to the array of plush, lily-pad-shaped couches dotted around the 6 levels of tempting designer…
Ribs & Burgers, Cafe Court at The Star Sydney
Sometimes all you feel like eating is a burger. Or ribs, Dad’s case. And sometimes, no matter how hard you try to stay on your healthy/veggie-based/wholegrain/low-calorie/no-sweets diet, you just have to order the premium wagyu beef, cheese-and-onion ring burger with the lot. Topped with smotherings of BBQ sauce and a side of chunky fried chips….
Happy New Year! Subterranean Greek Bar & Grill, GPO Sydney
Happy New Year! I hope your Christmas and New Year was filled with love, fun and laughter. Of course, nothing says the holidays quite like a Christmas feast, and I hope yours was full of lots and lots of wonderful food. The Holidays also mean more time to eat and try cooking new things, and…
An Asian Foodie Fest in the Sydney CBD: Pepper Lunch & Chanoma
This probably sounds a little crazy but every time I go somewhere new to eat, I get a little tingly feeling that spreads around my body, and this is followed by a strong urge to emit a little squeal of delight. My heartbeat quickens a little and I go all jumpy and buzzy, a knee-jerk reaction…
