It’s so difficult to get in-and-out, but I agree, there is pressure to do so as everyone else seems to fast and the space is so small! The strawberry vanilla creme brulee tart was out of this w...
“Looks like a beautiful summer day there, as well.” THIS. I’m jealous not only of the food, but the sunshine! My poor body can’t remember the last time it had chance for any V...
Yeah, Bourke street is fabulous but I never go to Surry Hills as the line is just too ridiculous. Alexandria or Marrickville are the ones to go too as there are only half of the people there
That’s a fine bit of work for that cake. :-)
I am a big fan of that danish as well as the pie. I miss Aussie pies…
nom nom nom <3 bourke st bakery .. their passionfruit meringue tart was to die for !
Most exotic things I have ever eaten: Live octopus, 1992, outdoor seafood market in Busan, South Korea. Dog stew, 2005, Korean restaurant in Shenyang, China. Sizzling pork cheek with liver, 2007, Ceb...
If I hadn’t just enjoyed a slice of delicious, warm, homemade mince pie from my oven, with vanilla ice cream on the side, I’d have even more food envy. ;-) The crust on my pie turned out ...
Unfortunately, there aren’t any independent bakeries near me – just the usual Greggs (bakery franchise in the UK). I have just discovered, however, that there’s a café in my nearest...
I’ve only visited the Surry Hills store once and I couldn’t believe the crowd. I ended up eating my sausage roll in the park across the road whilst watched by a very fat Lab dog….I ...
+1 for Vic Park!
Drop the baked beans and substitute peas in the sardine recipe.
I second this! I’ve watched far too many episodes of “Nothing to Declare” (filmed at Sydney airport) over the holidays, and I’m very surprised every single layer didn’t ...
The layer cakes look so pretty! It’s my goal to eat it one day, and peel every single layer apart. But how ever did you get them past Australian customs?
My goodness, where to start?? Again, I’d love to try those layer cakes. Love those colours! I’d be SO wide-eyed with all of it, lol! Maria definitely seems to have a good thing going: The...
The mee goreng looks delicious, and like I could probably eat it every day of the week! Do the colours have any relation to different flavouring, or is it ornamental? Also, in my head, I imagine it t...
We also had the opportunity to go inside a Sarawak layer cake bakery to see how they’re made: http://www.houseofannie.com/ma king-sarawak-layer-cake/ You’re doing a great job covering all ...
OMG, haw flakes! I haven’t had them in YEARS and never thought it would be put into cakes. All that work to create those layers really does produce some gorgeous colours!
Oh why can’t we all just pronounce things the same way! :-) I knew sambal. But until we met you (and the rest) at Mamak, I was guilty of not pronouncing belacan properly. They should have pronu...
And to add to that since we’re on the topic of pronounciation, a couple of Malay food words I often hear mispronounced: “Sambal” – is “sahm-bahl” – not ̶...
Thank you muchly! :-)
Chopinand, Yes, the whole group (bloggers and journalists, our chaperone from Ogilvy PR + guides) did the activities together (the woman with the hot lemon tea was one of our group). The exception wa...
Dear TFP, The mee goreng and bihun goreng look absolutely fantastic. Just a little curious, who is the lady in the green blouse with the Sarawak hot lemon tea? Did all these excursions include the ot...
I really like the “Subway” way of ordering/putting together the burritos, etc … for me, very easy and isdone the same way at Chipotle, back home in California, they are very popular...
Craig, It’s pronounced “ma-niss” rather than “man-iss” (and not like french, you do say the “s” at the end) It’s “ma” like “mother...
I love the look of that layer cake, and would love to try some some day. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. One thing I’ve never known, despite loving ketjap manis, is that manis means ...
I LOVE Thai food! Aside from Singaporean/Malaysian, and Japanese, it’s probably my favourite cuisine. I love so many Thai dishes I think I’ll just name them all. Som Tum (green papaya sal...
I’ve heard so many good things about Chat Thai in Sydney and your post just makes me want to jump on a plane for an impromptu visit. Your photographs are stunning, as usual, and really capture ...
Oh noooooo….. Here I was, thinking that Chat Thai’s queues wouldn’t be that bad so I actually stand a shot… Oh, the naivety! Thanks for the head’s up tho… But dang...
What was interesting was that although the staff were brisk and clearly super busy they didn’t make us feel that we had to bolt our food down and leave asap.
