Peasant food is something I will always surrender a bit of time for, especially when it comes to the peasant food from my parents home country, Croatia. When they left what was then Yugoslavia as young adults, my parents would have been trembling with excitement and fear as the plane touched down on Australian soil. [...]

We’ve been riding a little voucher wave of late, snapping up the too-good-to-pass-up meal bargains on various websites. Coincidentally we’re back at the St Margarets complex for another one. Previously it was Wasabi Bistro and now, just a limp-wristed stones throw away (we are in Darlo, darling) is Morena, home of modern Latin American cuisine [...]

The eating options in a town like Honkers are sure to bring satisfaction to just about any fussy visitor. While some may just want to tuck into the local specialties and ignore other cuisine options, I like to mix it up a tad. Here’s a run-down of the bunch of places we sunk our teeth into. Bare [...]

Many months have passed since I last ate out on one of those deal vouchers offering such-n-such quantity of dishes for whatever discounted price. Here’s my latest.

Stepping away from the Hong Kong tourist trail can only come with the highest recommendations. I reckon that applies to any city in the world. This trip wasn’t about The Peak, the nightly light show or climbing the steps of the worlds largest outdoor bronze buddha. That was done years ago. This trip was all [...]

The south end of King Street seems to have become a little more noisy of late. No, not the doof doof from the ghetto boys hooning into town to do laps but more like a repetitive tapping of metal against metal reverberating against the walls and street frontages. It looks like taka tak (or kata kat) has landed in [...]

I’ve taken a step away from the ordinary with these hot cross buns by using the recipe from my previous challah buns. They’re a bit lighter in texture when compared to your regular hot cross buns and when baked in tins like I’ve done, they’re a bit cute as well. This is probably not one [...]

When the other half wins a return flight to Hong Kong it would be a bit of a waste if they went on their own, wouldn’t it? Much better with a bit of company, hence my long-long weekend in HK recently. First of all, for the 4 or 5 times I’ve been to Honkers I’ve struggled to cope with [...]
