Little Bao – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

  A food blogger’s heart sinks a little when her camera battery runs out after the first click at a new restaurant. I thus had to turn to the trusty Iphone 5 for this one. Introducing Little Bao – a super popular little joint that has […]

Cafe Deadend – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

  Cafe Deadend has been aptly named – it’s literally at the end of a small street named Po Hing Fong. Although it’s hardly a street I guess – more like one of the winding, little roads thats snake up the mountain of Hong Kong Island […]

Upper Modern Bistro – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Upper Modern Bistro – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Want a restaurant where the chef personally greets you by opening the door for you? You got it. Want a restaurant where you can see the chef in the kitchen, carefully and laboriously preparing and checking over every dish before it’s sent out? Tick! Want a […]

Mido Cafe – Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong

After a busy week of hanging out with friends and family, and driving around NSW for many hours, I bring to you a touch of nostalgia – Mido Cafe in Yau Ma Tei, on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. Mido Cafe is an institution, a blast from the […]

Yardbird – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Woah – so late on the Friday post. Maybe I shouldn’t schedule travel days over the weekend anymore…my head wants to die after 4.5 hours sleep last night. But back to business – there’s a certain type of friend that will traipse around a city […]

Yashin Sushi and Bar – London, UK

  My last day in London was characterised by frantic shopping on High Street Kensington. I think I bought at least 3 pairs of shoes, then wondered how I’d fit them in my already full bag… After all that running around on a stinking hot […]

Shake Shack – Covent Garden, London, UK

Shake Shack – Covent Garden, London, UK

  Sure, dining at Michelin Starred restaurants is a treat, but sometimes you just want a good ol’ burger. Amirite? A few weeks before I went to London, I found out that Shake Shack had opened in Covent Garden. Having heard of this fabled institution from my […]

The Ledbury – Notting Hill, London, UK

The Ledbury – Notting Hill, London, UK

  On a holiday, where you manage to go to a 1 Michelin Star restaurant (which also holds the #7 spot on the 2013 World’s 50 Best Restaurants index) as well as a 2 Michelin Star restaurant – I think it’s fair to say you’ve done pretty […]

Lunch at In The Annex – Glebe/Forest Lodge, Sydney

We interrupt our UK food reports to bring you a quick update from In the Annex. After going to In The Annex for breakfast a while back, I really wanted to come back for lunch. To be honest, I looked at this review of their lunch and thought – […]
