$29 Van breakfast @ Efendy (Balmain)
While in Sydney, my friends took me to Balmain for breakfast at Efendy. I first came across Efendy at the Taste of Sydney Festival earlier in the year, and have read good reviews about it. Efendy also won the Sydney Morning Herald’s Best Breakfast in Sydney 2014 so I couldn’t wait to eat breakfast there! […] Read more…
Brunch @ Fox & Bow and GIVEAWAY!
Tucked away on the corner of the Farrer Shops is Fox & Bow, a cafe that recently opened up. I got there early on a Sunday morning, around 9.45am, to find a few people enjoying the sunshine outside. You can’t help noticing the large colourful mural along the wall outside which has additional seating. One […] Read more…
Dinner @ The Dock – Kingston Foreshore
New sports bar/pub, The Dock, is the latest addition to the Kingston Foreshore whose co-owners include Brumbies and Wallabies players Scott Fardy and Ben Alexander.

First time @ The Boathouse by the Lake

Dinner @ Akiba
In case you hadn’t heard, Akiba opened its doors on the weekend, offering the first 100 diners free food on Saturday night. Sadly I wasn’t in Canberra that weekend, otherwise I would’ve joined the queue of diners eager to try out the new eatery (for free!). Located on Bunda Street in Civic, Akiba is a […] Read more…
Dinner @ Mr Wong (Sydney)
I love going to different eateries in Sydney. Walking up George Street, I noticed a dark alleyway with a stylishly dressed couple walking out of it. I then noticed the opening of the alleyway was stamped with a sign for โMr Wong’sโ. So this was the popular Mr Wongโs! Curious, I walked in to see […] Read more…
A healthy addiction @ SpudBar
Potato lovers rejoice! SpudBar recently opened in Civic selling all things spud. Though the address is on Bunda Street, it’s not actually on Bunda Street which I found out after walking up and down numerous times trying to find the place. SpudBar looks out onto Garema Place and is next to iPho. The menu is […] Read more…
Saturday brunch @ Dream Cuisine
Dream Cuisine in Fyshwick expanded (earlier this year?) taking over the shop that was next door. This means there is a lot more space to sit down and enjoy the wonderful macarons, tarts and coffee that Dream Cuisine produces. Brunch was on hiatus for a few months (their chef had a skiing accident!). However, Saturday […] Read more…
