The Barber Shop, Sydney CBD
The Barber Shop is yet another small bar on York Street in the Sydney CBD. Unlike a few of the other small bars, this one isn’t hidden. You just have to walk through a barber shop and up the stairs at the back to enter …

A Scorcher of a Sydney Day
Wow, yesterday was an absolute heatwave! I couldn’t believe the heat in the air that cloaked the entire city. And it lasted well into the night! I couldn’t even eat ice-cream without having to furiously spoon it into my mouth (learned my lesson when the …
Product Review: Lotte Choco Pie
The name of this product makes me laugh everytime I say it. Choco pie. It sounds so bogan “Ma, I’m having a choco pie now!!” But anyway, a box of these arrived in our kitchen and I helped myself to one. I think there were …
Chocolate Dipped Butter Cookies

Cafe de Macau, Haymarket
I hadn’t visited Cafe de Macau since my first visit which was about a year, maybe more. It’s one of those places that are slightly out-of-the-way and thus doesn’t feature on my food periphery. Then again, the food itself is quite average so there’s another …
Krispy Kreme
It was a sad day when the line at Max Brenner was 20 people deep and we decided to go to Krispy Kreme instead. It reminded me why I haven’t had a Krispy Kreme for about a year. Despite the free wifi instore, the decor …
