My good friend, Epicurean Explorer and I visited Azuma Kushiyaki not long after it opened earlier this year. While we found the food to be quite good, we were less than impressed by their $35 per person minimum spend for dinner. Especially when we were...
I have a love/hate relationship with the Sydney Fish Markets. What I loathe (the crowds, the awful parking, the tourists) is enough to drive me away and never return, and yet, what I love about it (the oysters, fresh sashimi, lobsters) makes me fall in...
On a lazy Saturday, after a late 4pm lunch (if you can still call that lunch), we reschedule and postpone our dinner to…. midnight. Being the responsible people that we are, we always make sure we fulfill our allotment of daily meals so we head...
Lovers of gourmet pizza, prick your ears. Crust Gourmet Pizza is taking Australia by storm. With stores popping up in key surburbs all over Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Crust’s hook is in their fresh gourmet ingredients – take that! Pizza Hut. A few even have...

When I was at the Merivale Winter Feasts launch party a few weeks ago, I was most impressed by Mad Cow’s GFC-friendly offering. But after a rather disappointing experience at Peter Doyle’s est., I became a little cynical about visiting the Ivy’s New York inspired...
When the Good Food & Wine Show comes to town every year, it’s an event that no foodie wants to miss. Not only can you get up close with exhibitors and sample all sorts of food, beer and wine — but there are cooking demonstrations...
Kuay Chap or Guay Jab or Guay Jap (google this one for a fun “did you mean” suggestion), is a popular dish in South East Asia that originates from the region’s Teochew emigrants. I remember sharing Kuay Chap with my mother on one of our...
