My love for anything pork runs very deep and no matter how it’s prepared and cooked I’m sure to like it. A few months ago when we had a group of friends over for a Sunday lunch I brought out this dish that everyone seemed to love the most. How could you not. Soft and [...]

Anyone that’s been to Town Hall Square knows that the food scene on a whole isn’t all that thrilling. It’s more of an enclosed thoroughfare rather than destination but there are a couple of places worth stopping at; just don’t try it a 3pm on a weekday. This time of the day will have you [...]

Google “New York best soup dumplings” and you soon realise that many of the results show Joe’s Shanghai Restaurant; the name just keeps popping up everywhere. After a lot of review reading my own consensus was formed that Joe’s was definitely on the cards as a must visit in New York City.

It appears we have a bit of peep-show action happening in broad daylight on one of this towns busiest thoroughfares. No frosted glass, no coin slots, just dirty middle-aged men like me peering through at cheeky women handling stuff I really want to get my teeth into. I mean look at the way she’s grasping [...]

This is a dish that I’ve had in restaurants countless times. So much so that I’ve fallen in love with it and started making it at home as a relatively quick meal. I don’t often open a jar of premade sauce to add to a dish I’m making but this one needs it; unless you’re [...]

Having family down from Brisbane always excites me a tad so when Big Bro & his better half decided to book a flight and spend a weekend in the big smoke I knew it would be time spent eating, exploring and more eating. He’s as passionate about food as I am and the only difference is that [...]
