After lunch at Mamak on the Saturday I was in Sydney, I walked around Chinatown and Haymarket, mostly just window shopping.

Here in Perth, Japanese food is plentiful – from the “cheap eats” food […]
I was lucky to be one of ten Australian food bloggers invited to attend an exclusive masterclass with chef Tetsuya Wakuda in his brand new master kitchen at his restaurant in Sydney. I’d never been to Tetsuya’s restaurant but had read about it at other food blogs and heard about it from friends. I’ve been […]
