On Thursday last week it was a stunning 25°C. It lasted all of a sad 24 hours and on Friday, winter decided to rear its ugly head, pummelling London with big fat freezing raindrops and dropping the temperature to a positively chilly 13°C. 13 degrees man, and for those who have no idea how Celsius works, that’s … Read More →
I don’t actually really want to write anything else in this blog post except I MADE MACARONS! I MADE MACARONS! I MADE MACARONS! I MADE MACARONS! And ain’t they just the most adorable things you’ve ever seen?? I mean, a talented baker I am not. I may appear to bake a lot, but really, it’s … Read More →
Pierre Hermé at Selfridges finally unveils their new matcha and black pepper macaron. I went to Selfridges last week to buy something serious and came out with a box of these babies. Not that buying macarons isn’t serious bizness.
Here I sit, in London’s business district, flanked on one side by the monumental St Paul’s Cathedral and on the other by London’s star-bright West End. Some might say they envy where I am right now, I mean it’s even sunny in ol’ Londontown today, but all I wish for right this moment is to … Read More →
I’m actually struggling to begin this blog post because I just don’t seem to have the skillz to communicate how really really really really ridiculously great (I think I write good, like Zoolander) dinner at The Ledbury was without sounding like a total ‘tard. I mean, how many ways can you say something is bloody amazing? … Read More →
… but I never thought it would be in a toilet. Check out the wall of quotes when you hit Mooli’s next, I’m published! (ok, I’m gonna slap myself back into reality now). ps. have you checked out my video with the boys from Mooli’s? Mooli’s 50 Frith Street Soho, W1D 4SQ 0207 494 9075 website
One of the awesome things about living in London is that you can just “pop over” to another country for a weekend. And not even like a Friday to Monday type of thing. Last weekend, three of my favourite girls and I jumped on the Eurostar bright and early Saturday morning, ate our way through … Read More →
It’s been four long weeks since we’ve come back from our amazing little break to Egypt and I’m onto the last phase of Qype’s Word on the Beach competition (have you voted for me?!). We’re supposed to talk about what we brought back from the trip and aside from a couple of gallons of the … Read More →
As this post goes to air (thank you Mr. Scheduler), I am sunning myself on the most gorgeous caldera in the world ~ Santorini. I’m probably having the time of my life, but this time last week I was most definitely not having the time of my life. In the interest of not boring you … Read More →
When I heard about a new Chinese restaurant opening in the heart of London’s business district, I kind of thought… really? Like, are they lost or something? Because you know Chinatown is not up this end of ye olde Londontown. In fact, you’re kind of no where near any Chinese person, and those who are … Read More →
While I’m away sunning myself on the gorgeous island of Santorini, my friends from far and wide have chipped in to help keep you hungry little readers occupied. Meeta, author of the stunning blog What’s For Lunch Honey?, knows me far too well. She’s gone and combined matcha and ice cream and cherries and created … Read More →
Finally! It seems like a whole life time ago but can you believe it’s only been 10 days since our crazy Matcha Madness came to a close? Well, technically it came to a close but secretly we all know know we’ll never ever be over our matcha love affair! Don’t look at me like I’m … Read More →
I was 12 years old, in Year 7 at Craigslea Primary School on Brisbane’s north side. I hadn’t really come into my own yet and was a painfully shy, timid, quiet (I know it seems impossible, but I once was very shy, very timid and remarkably quiet. Lord knows what happened) and ridiculously nerdy girl … Read More →
Hello there Martians! Oh wait, you’re not Martians? But you look all green and like… ohhhh you’ve just been eating lots and lots of matcha. I get it. It is Matcha Madness month afterall! So we’re now officially half way through our crazy Matcha-do-about-everything month (damn, why didn’t I come up with the earlier?) and things … Read More →
You know how you never really ever win anything? Well, maybe you do, but I don’t. I enter a butt load of competitions but y’know, I forget that I’ve entered as soon as I’ve clicked ok and there it goes, into the nethersphere that is my history of competition entries. But yesterday. YESTERDAY I FINALLY … Read More →
*tee hee hee* I said “sex” in my post title *sniggle* and guess what? I’m gonna say it again and in the same sentence I’m gonna say Big Pickle. Just wait for it. God I’m immature. So last Thursday I was struck down by the dreaded ‘lurgy, a flu bug which at this time of … Read More →
I’d like to begin this post by providing a disclaimer that all the photos are probably tagged incorrectly because I have no idea which dish is which. I mean, just Look At Them. To say that they all look exactly the same is an understatement. I mean, could ya have added any more chilli?? Apparently … Read More →
grilled eel with cucumber This is a photo post of dinner at Kikuchi Japanese Restaurant last Friday night. It’s not that I have nothing to say (c’mon you guys know me better than that!). It’s just that all I need to say is that I loved it and I’ll definitely be back. amuse bouche ~ … Read More →
Seems like a lot of people have been asking me for Sydney food recommendations lately. In case you didn’t notice y’all, I haven’t been in Sydney for almost three years but hey sure, if you’re askin’, imma givin’! I have my standard list of must go’s, ranging from Hurricanes (best ribs EVER) to Bill’s (that’s … Read More →
If you asked me to describe myself in four words or less, I could say She Eats A Lot. Some might even be inclined to be nice and say Chatty Quirky Happy Smiley. But really, I think what hits the nail more on the head is Fricking Utterly Matcha Crazy. Oh yes. But it’s not … Read More →
So. This is Sushi Ga Ga, the somewhat controversial new opening in Chinatown; a breezy little Japanese restaurant run by not-Japanese people and well, serving (with a glance at the odd blog and review published thus far) what can only be quantified as reasonably questionable food. Having been invited for dinner by Sushi Ga Ga last … Read More →
Matcha soft serve from Wasabi. For £2.25, it hits the spot in a big way and is surprisingly full flavoured! Find your nearest Wasabi ps. thanks to the wondrousness of The Scheduler, I am able to bring you this post while snorkelling in the Red Sea! Me and the fishies say hello!
So I have this job where I work on my own. It’s kind of hard to explain so I’m just going to glaze over that but anyway, every day I plug away on my filthy excuse of a laptop keyboard, poking away at the keys to form words which eventually become some important document that … Read More →
Yes. I now have yet another place to satisfy my Gruyère cheeseburger fix, washed down by an A&W root beer float. Happy days! Byron is my favourite burger joint. It’s Panu’s favourite burger joint. So everyone should just like, go. And if you’re really insanely bored or just boycotting work on this gorgeous stunning Friday we’re … Read More →
