Located in the same building as Chelsea Market is a restaurant many New York visitors just want to try. Buddakan. The entrance is nothing more than a discreet door on the side of the market building with a small steel plaque indicating its location. The visuals of this place are out to impress. It’s classy. It’s [...]

It’s funny how insular you can become when living in the city, and before I continue just let me state I’m talking about myself. I’ve been living in this town for almost twenty years now and I can confidently say I rarely make it to the eastern suburbs. Even when I had my car, something [...]

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 [...]

A work trip to Melbourne is something I always look forward to. Change of scenery, trapsing the expansive Retail Trade Fair at the Exhibition Centre in search of exciting new products to purchase, sore back and feet from not sitting down for nine hours. Fun and games. Food-wise, the canteens in the halls are all [...]

Waking up in my hotel room knowing I didn’t have to shove breakfast down my throat and rush off to the Exhibition Centre to start work was refreshing, to say the least. Sunday mornings are all about relaxation and taking it easy, I reckon. The sun was out, Collins Street was devoid of the usual traffic and I [...]

A few years ago when I came to Melbourne for work I remember stopping in for dinner at a cheap and cheerful Indian joint on Flinders Street and I’m now positive it has closed down and is replaced with another cheapie – Old Beijing Dumpling Restaurant. It’s the same long and narrow room with seating to [...]

I’ve had this recipe in my iPhone for over a year now. I remember flicking through cook books at Miss K’s place in London last year and photographed a few pages to add to my “I’ll make it one day” pile of recipes. Do I remember the name of the cookbook? Sadly not. Anyone that’s spent more than [...]
