Portal – Martin Place, Sydney CBD (Invite)

Everyone loves doing good, right? That’s why PORTAL at No. 1 Martin Place is so amazing. You get to do good, while eating lunch. PORTAL is the new cafe from the same people who brought you FOLONOMO and GRATIA CAFE (now closed) in Surry Hills. […]

Kym’s – London, UK

Kym’s – London, UK

When we travel, we always find ourselves searching for good Asian food. Whether it’s Japanese in Amsterdam, or Chinese food in London! I’ve had A.WONG on my list for ages and when I heard they had a sister restaurant in the newly opened KYM’S I […]

Timberyard – Edinburgh, Scotland

Timberyard – Edinburgh, Scotland

One of our best meals of our entire January 2019 trip was probably at TIMBERYARD in Edinburgh, Scotland. Was it because the restaurant was soooo dark that we couldn’t really see our food and assumed it was good? I joke – although, it was very […]

Cafe St Honore – Edinburgh, Scotland

Cafe St Honore – Edinburgh, Scotland

On our travels back in January we also headed up to Scotland with our friend SW. He wanted to go climbing in the Cairngorm mountains, which sounded terrifying to me. More so because, on the train to the airport, he proudly showed us the new […]

SAN Bruxelles – Brussels, Belgium

SAN Bruxelles – Brussels, Belgium

I don’t quite recall how I heard about SAN BRUXELLES. What I did recall, though, was feeling really excited at eating some modern dishes inspired by Asian flavours. Enough of traditional hearty Flemish food! I did enjoy all that. However, it was time to change […]

Kok au Vin – Bruges, Belgium

Kok au Vin – Bruges, Belgium

When I was looking for more modern restaurants to try out in Bruges, Belgium, KOK AU VIN kept popping up. It has excellent reviews on Google too, which gave me a bit of confidence. I was surprised that we could get a booking with only […]

Chagall – Bruges, Belgium

Chagall – Bruges, Belgium

On our first night in Bruges we asked our hotel, the delightful Monsieur Ernest, where to go for dinner. It was a Monday night so not much was open, but thankfully a traditional Flemish restaurant was open. We headed out in the drizzly cold, along […]

German Gymnasium – Kings Cross, London

German Gymnasium – Kings Cross, London

We were about to pop on the EuroStar and head to Belgium, so why not stop by for a German breakfast at GERMAN GYMNASIUM at Kings Cross?! Makes sense in my head, somehow… From what I hear, GERMAN GYMNASIUM was an actual gymnasium in a […]

Rovi – Fitzrovia, London

Rovi – Fitzrovia, London

Can you believe that I have never been to an Ottolenghi restaurant before?! All those trips to London… Ok, I have been to Ottolenghi in Belgravia where you get takeaway and there is barely any seating. I feel like that doesn’t count. This trip, we […]

Padella – Southwark, London

Padella – Southwark, London

I had heard HEAPS about PADELLA, which is located just outside the famour Borough Markets. And then we walked past one day, and I realised that a lot of other people had also heard of PADELLA! We jokingly asked how long the wait would be […]

Dinner @ Elementary – Tai Hang, Hong Kong

Dinner @ Elementary – Tai Hang, Hong Kong

  Time gets away from you sometimes, especially when you’re having fun in Hong Kong! That’s exactly what happened to us when we had planned to go to dinner at ELEMENTARY in Tai Hang. We were having drinks with friends first up (mocktail for me, doh) and […]

Cobo House x BoConcept – Hong Kong

Cobo House x BoConcept – Hong Kong

  I was so stoked to be invited to COBO HOUSE in Hong Kong last week, to sample some delicious food and drinks as part of their collaboration with Danish furniture store BoConcept. I am a huge fan of both these brands – in fact, I am writing this […]

Ronin – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Ronin – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

  Having dinner at RONIN in Hong Kong is truly an experience. Firstly, you’ve got to actually find the restaurant. It’s in one of the tiny streets in Sheung Wan, pretty much at the end of the street, down some stairs and then there’s a grey door […]

Ramen Bari-Uma – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Ramen Bari-Uma – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

  Ramen is obviously winter food, so we were so excited to find a really great ramen place in Hong Kong. I’ve never really used Open Rice before but RAMEN BARI-UMA came up as number 1 in Causeway Bay so we thought we’d check it out! […]

Elephant Grounds – Wan Chai, Hong Kong

Elephant Grounds – Wan Chai, Hong Kong

  One of my favourite cafes to hang out in is ELEPHANT GROUNDS.  Luckily for me they have several outlets around Hong Kong! The most convenient one for me is in Wan Chai. DS and I had originally planned to go for breakfast, but we only […]
