“She’s a real foodie” This was the description one friend told to my new acquaintance, when we met in a noisy alleyway of clamouring cafes. Intended as the summary of my entire life journey, these were the four words that my friend chose to describe my essential personality. Urban Dictionary defines a ‘foodie’ as: I … Continue reading
I think I was on TV the other night. Well, maybe? I don’t have a TV so I guess this post is already going nowhere. Some cold evening in the month of May, I took a tram to Port Melbourne on the vague promise of free beer and food and something about TV cameras. I … Continue reading
Animals are tasty. Cute animals are even tastier. (Sorry, this is not a vegetarian friendly post…) Once a year at La Luna, they celebrate the tastiness of cute animals by putting on an epic Sunday roast as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival’s winter series. Who better to be the host of an … Continue reading
This is my first blog entry for food in Melbourne (despite being back home for 5 months already). Most people come back home from a holiday yearning to be back where they were, wishing they were away again, complaining that nothing’s changed. For me, I was excited to come home.

So I’m going to go backpacking around South America for 3 months (and South East Asia for 2 months). It’s pretty daunting, because I’m pretty pathetic at doing anything physical, let alone carrying a heavy backpack around a continent that I know nothing about. I also can’t read maps.

How can anybody combine three of my favouritest things ever into one place without it imploding into a … Continue reading

One blog entry that I left behind was my entry titled “The Best Dumplings In The World Question Mark??” I decided that I must revisit this vital post. It’s not just an Asian thing anymore. It’s just a thing. Dumplings are the shiz. … Continue reading
Ground Pork. Sausages. Ham. Bacon. Bacon. Bacon. Wut up Ribs? It’s Epic Meal Time, the creative geniuses who created a thanksgiving roast made from quail stuffed into cornish hen stuffed into chicken stuffed into duck stuffed into a turkey, wrapped in bacon, then stuffed into a pig then wrapped with bacon. These dudes even have … Continue reading
I was YouTubing Charlie Sheen the other night. And like any self respecting foodie would do, I immediately related Charlie Sheen to delicious food. Tiger Blood he says? I say Tiger Bread! There’s a Vietnamese bakery on the corner of Racecourse Road and Pin Oak Crescent in Newmarket (around the corner from Laksa King). It’s … Continue reading
If you love brunch as much as I love brunch, then this must be on the top of your to eat list. Tucked away on Erroll Street, it’s nicely overlooked by the hoards of coffee addicts making their way over to Auction Rooms. It’s a quaint little cafe built into a rental property, try and … Continue reading
