  • Attica

    Alright. The big one of 2016 – Attica. Well, there was Noma too. It’s certainly been an action packed year so far! I was super excited to visit and had made sure to book just as the month of July became available for bookings. Those tables of 2 went quick; halfway through the day they were gone already for dinners on Fridays and Saturdays!

    Too bad Ben wasn’t there that week – he was instead in New York for the announcement of the San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants. And once again, did very well! I’m so happy for him.

  • Sokyo omakase – take 2!

    I have this thing for Sokyo and omakases. I like both! The sushi I have at Sokyo is always so good, I feel like sushi anywhere else just isn’t as good! There are of course exceptions (like Umi Kaiten Zushi and all those nice restaurants in Crows Nest), but this is the one I keep coming back to.

    I didn’t actually plan to have two omakase sessions in a year, this visit was all due to circumstance – I just happened to be in Sydney, and a winter omakase tends to be more interesting than a summer one – however, I missed out on truffle season by a few weeks. So close yet so far!

  • Eat Drink Perth

    I think my blogging will slow down over the next few months, we’ll see! I have become somewhat permanently poor so I haven’t been going to as many cafes lately.

    Still, Eat Drink Perth happened as part of Good Food Month, which happens here in April instead of October (my Sydneysiderer strikes again!). I found out because one of the cafes I follow (rocks 2 Slayers but only open Monday – Friday) was running some coffee events during this time – how could I not say no!

    Fancy a Filter?

  • Wildflower Perth

    I was very excited when I heard that Wildflower was opening because it seemed like my kind of restaurant. However, I ended up putting off visiting, mainly because I am constantly trying to save money these days, plus my recent Sydney adventure took priority.

    Of course, me being me, decided to spontaneously book a table one day.

  • Another Sydney coffee crawl

    Since my Sydney visit was a pure foodie adventure, it was important that I drank lots of coffee, this time without almost dying from caffeine overdose. It was a combination of old and new!

    Elbow Room espresso. Mecca’s Blackforest blend and a Pedro Moreno (Santa Barbara, Honduras) on filter.

  • Sydney photography

    Now that I have two lenses, I take them everywhere. So here are some shots where I happened to be carrying my 60mm.

  • Sokyo Omakase

    Oh hello again Sokyo, I’ve missed you! Last time it was the a la carte, this time it was the omakase. Previously I’ve only had omakase at the Tsukiji fish markets, so I was excited to have one in Sydney!

  • Kensington Street Social

    First was Commune Social. Then, City Social. And the tidbit of gossip I got from there was that there was going to be a Jason Atherton establishment in Australia. And here it is, Kensington Street Social.
