Phamish, Darlinghurst

Those of you with eagle eyes will have noticed that Phamish has been sitting at the top of my ‘to-eat’ list for a while (though to be honest, that list isn’t in any particular order). Luckily for me, the Chief was just as eager to 

Portuguese Tarts

Portuguese Tarts

I just wanted to share another recent afternoon tea treat that I had, courtesy of the Pastry Chef. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Portuguese Tarts. They have enough similarity to a custard tart that I can’t help but compare the two. 

The Beauchamp Hotel, Darlinghurst

After seeing a movie at the nearby Palace cinemas on Oxford Street, my friend suggested that we visit the Beauchamp for a bite to eat. It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and the place was quite empty but not in a bad way. The Beauchamp

One of my readers has been kind enough to share their own food photos from a recent dining experience. I wasn’t there and they can’t remember names or prices of dishes but I have labelled them as I see fit. Chinatown laneway where the restaurant

Newsflash. If you operate a place that sells bubble tea, please do not run out of pearls. This is something that Ten Ren apparently does quite often. On this occasion, and when I went back a few days later, the same thing! My friend informed 

Vanilla Slice

As some of you may know, my father is a talented pastry chef. Sometimes if we’re lucky, he makes some fresh treats at home for us. Recently he made one of my favourites – vanilla slice. I love vanilla slices! The dusting of icing sugar 

Lebanese Ice Cream, Punchbowl

Okay, I confess, I don’t know the actual name of this place. But it is a few doors down from El Jannah. And this is what the store front looks like: I had walked past it on the street and immediately wanted to venture inside.

I’m a big fan of roast chicken. Especially charcoal chicken, though I have to admit that Red Rooster always holds a special place in my stomach (their chicken is just so moist! And the stuffing! Yum!) El Jannah has been on my ‘to eat’ list
