With the trending of warehouse turned café/restaurants becoming ever so popular in Sydney, it’s no wonder that Kitchen By Mike draws the crowds early on weekend mornings. Off on a street of factories and industrial property in Rosebery, I would never have found this place just by walking in the neighbourhood. The restaurant is set…

Sabor in the Hunter
Having a love for all things chocolate and chocolate, the girls and I make sure that we put time in our busy eating schedule to pay Sabor in the Hunter a visit. It boasts an extensive dessert selection in the menu and we keenly order the Autumn Tasting plate, and the Sabor’s Tasting Plate with…
Three Beans
It’s another weekday lunch as Truck and I ponder where to eat around the city as we have exhausted most of the food courts around work. Luckily she suggests we check out Three Beans downstairs of Westfield, before we waste more precious eating time. Being at the bottom level of Westfield, hidden amongst stalls and…
Jekyll & Hyde Wine & Tapas Bar
Having made Eggy be my chauffeur for the day and starve her for most of the morning, I finally release her of her duties to feed her at Jekyll & Hyde. Suggested by a friend, this is a new tapas and wine bar that has just opened this year on the busy Darlinghurst strip of…
Orto Trading Co.
It’s been a long time coming, but I finally got to check out Orto Trading Co. one weekend with TDKS and TT for brunch. For a rather big group of us, they were organised and made sure we were looked after whilst we waited for our booked table. I’m lovin’ the rustic interior as I…
Wilbur’s Place
From the people of Bourke Street Bakery comes Wilbur’s Place, a cosy new restaurant that produces quality restaurant food at comfortable prices. We arrive in time before the dinner rush and secure ourselves in 2 of the 20 or so seats they have to offer. The menu seems to be ever changing, as Sung notices…
Jamie Oliver’s – Fifteen, London
With the little time we had in London, we could only fit Fifteen in on our breakfast menu. It was a quiet Monday morning when we arrived so we were surprised to find that only two other tables were occupied apart from us. We probably were just lucky to miss the morning rush. I was a…
Give me my discount, boss
The past couple of months have seen me watch my budget on spending in food and drink (unfortunately). This has meant that more of my outings have revolved around using every possible discount available to me – in the form of the Entertainment Book. I think it’s a great feeling getting a discount… even if…
I need a sausage roll!
During my work experience days at Spice Temple, the sous chef told me that the secret to making a successful sausage roll was to freeze them before popping them in the oven. He apparently was told this by a owner of Bourke Street Bakery – one of the best bakeries in Sydney, which I am also very lucky…
Brasserie Bread
The lasting smell of garlic bread still lingers in my car after I drop Monzie off. Topped with caramelised onions and a part of Brasserie Bread‘s specialty range, it will be interesting to know the verdict from Monzie after she demolishes it. So you may have guessed by now, that I have just finished a trip…
The Book Kitchen
There are a lot of organic cafes that have been popping up in the Sydney scene in recent years, but a place that has stuck around for a while now is The Book Kitchen. Even for a weekday, the place is busy so I can imagine how hard it would be to get a table on a weekend. They…
To like or not to like? That is the question.
It’s times like these when I feel sorry for my friends. They have to deal with the embarrassment and odd stares people give our table when I unload my monster of a camera. AND they have to watch in hunger as the food goes cold while I take photos. There’s no win-win situation for them and…
mmMmm… bacon… cheese kranksys…
Maybe I don’t go out to eat enough, but who knows a place in Sydney that serves cheese kranskys for breakfast?? Anyone? Well I found my place, but unfortunately it’s all the way in Melbourne at a cafe called Three Bags Full. They serve it as part of their big breakfast or even conveniently available to…
I need a coffee hit!
For someone who doesn’t normally drink coffee, I always make an effort to have a couple when I’m in Melbourne. It’s the little Europe of Australia and producing good coffee here is a serious business. Back in Sydney, I only get as close to sniffing the coffee fumes wafting from my colleagues takeaway cups, but…
How do you pronounce “Giulia”?
Looking to try a new breakfast joint, I stumble across Cafe Giulia while flipping through the 2010 Good Food Guide for inspiration. The blackboard menu stretches over the main wall, making me pick at my brain as I struggle to decide what to order. There’s so many choices! The Belgian waffles (with rhubarb and brown sugar) stand…
