Product Review: Sheer Indulgence by Home Ice Cream

With these frequent heatwaves that Sydney has been experiencing, I have been stocking up my freezer with ice cream. Home Ice Cream is convenient as it comes right by our place each fortnight. These ‘Sheer Indulgence’ blocks cost $9.50 for 6….which puts them in the

Friands are not my Friends

Friands are not my Friends

Dear reader, I have a confession to make. I don’t like friands. I don’t get them. They are like a cross between a muffin and a cake. They are dense and moist, usually made with almond meal (side confession: I don’t really like the taste

A very long time ago, DJ Rehactor and Mobblees were shocked to discover that I had never eaten churros before in my life. Vague plans were made to visit San Churro at some point in the future. Well that day finally came! Unlucky for us,

Yummy Seafood Chinese Restaurant, Beverly Hills

When this restaurant first opened (I can’t remember how many years ago), I was very impressed by the food and thought it was one of the best Chinese restaurants in the St George region. Restaurant exterior I had not visited for a while and after

Sago at the Chinatown Night Markets, Sydney

I love sago. I’m not sure why, since it doesn’t have much flavour but it is somehow simply delicious. Mobblees and I stumbled across a sago stall at the Chinatown night markets and I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. The sago
