michael jackson organises a food fight - 27 June 2009, 23:02
while having a gander at serious eats i stumbled upon this awesome clip of michael jackson and macaulay culkin organising a food fight complete with cream pies and cans of whipped cream against director of the black or white video john landis
r.i.p michael jackson - 26 June 2009, 17:43
take a moment to mourn the passing of the king of pop- michael jackson.
how to make ikea meatballs - 25 June 2009, 10:35
sometimes you just dont want to drive all the way to rhoddes for your ikea meatball fix. and so one day after a trolley laden trip to ikea i picked up a packet of meatballs, ligonberry jam and the packet mix for the sauce. there is actually a recipe on how to make up the meatballs from scratch but uh i am lazy… anywhos all up i think it costs less than $15 from the ikea food shop but you will also need to have cream and potatos. you wont be using all the cream maybe about half the container.
first up skin and boil ya potatos! this is the only thing that takes a while. go make a cup of tea while ya waiting. when theyre done mash em with some of your cream
mah frozen meatballs! these dont need to be defrosted and can be whacked in the microwave for 2mins or oven for a bit longer woohoo the easiness!
according to the instructions on the packet it said mix the contents with cream and stir. uh i would advise whisking it because otherwise itll be lumpy. the sauce takes like 3mins to make heh again woo! the easiness!
and tadah! whack the meatballs on a plate, plonk on some mash, big dollop of ligonberry jam and cover with gravy and youve got yourselves some ‘homecooked’ meatballs!
Carman's Muesli Rounds - 24 June 2009, 02:01
i dont usually eat cereal let alone muesli for breakfast mainly because i dont have the time but thanks to the awesome people at Medial Moguls i scored some boxes of Carman’s Muesli Rounds! each box has 5 individually wrapped muesli rounds and when i’d received them i’d put them on the top shelf in the cupboard one day and came back a coupla days later and found that they’d been plundered by the boy! he didnt know i was saving them but generously left me one to try hmpf
and while they may look crunchy and hard they are actually delightfully moist and slightly chewy like a gingerbread man. but round. am totally kicking myself for not hiding them better!
sydney winter festival - 23 June 2009, 01:15
sydney has been pretty unlucky with the weather when it comes to outdoor events! the sydney winter festival was on last weekend (18-21 June) where it managed to rain pretty much nonstop. it didnt help that i was sick either! but a plan is a plan and so Helen and i found ourselves wandering around Cook & Phillip Square one sunday morning eager for some classic winter food
look its snowing! i found it pretty amusing that there were gas heaters lining the makeshift ice rink… also, the ‘snow’ smelled like burnnning…
apparently the ice rink was the first outdoor rink in the cbd since 1959! the tix for ice skating managed to be sold out weeks in advance so helen and i hung around the edge watching the skaters and alternating between jealous glances and laughing at the falls of the uncoordinated heh heh
the currency for the festival were ‘snowflake’ tokens (1 snowflake=$1) and while i understand the need for ‘security reasons’ it wasted a bit of time having to find out the price of food before having to find the snowflake dude. one snowflake seller was calling out cornflakes! get your cornflakes here! heh i asked him why he was saying it and he said people dont really listen anyway and i was the first to ask =D
roasting chestnuts!
a drink was in order for such a cold day and i of course go with the milk hot chocolate with PINK marshmallow from voodoo (4snowflakes)
hotchocolatesuze haha shuddup im sick dammit!
there were quite a few food stalls and the spectacularly colourful paella from El Bulli drew a crowd
but not as big a crowd as the area in front of plan b where a lady was holding a tray of free wagyu burger samples! zomg for a sample size these things were pretty huge!
something that helen and i had immediately decided on having for lunch was from Del Forno- a whole wheel of brie ‘infused’ with rosemary and thyme, baked until all gooey and melty and oh. so. delicious with a loaf of crusty bread and 2 pickles on the side
and some mellow soothing music with our eats on the steps
and cheese craving not fully satisfied we stopped by at the swissotel stand for some Swiss raclette. the halved wheels of cheese are placed under a grill and the top layer soon becomes bubbly and golden and is then scraped onto some potatos, onions and pickles. the jolly chef was also very generous with his samples heh
it was a bit small but that was ok because we were slowly becoming full and sleepy from the music
and a gingerbread man from la boheme for a snack on the way home!
LNC dessert house - 21 June 2009, 02:27
after my birthday dinner it was inevitable that a bunch of foodbloggers will look at each other in half sheepish looks and plot where to go for ‘second dinner’ and so we found ourselves wandering through chinatown and into LNC dessert house (Shop 12, 339 Sussex St)
what, not enough food?
my ‘number 40’ – mango and lychee and mini sticky balls with mango gelato ($7.50). i think i preferred the lychee bits than the mango bits which werent very sweet and the balls tasted weirdly like melon…
Simon’s black sesame ice slush with matcha (green tea) gelato and red bean
Karen’s coffee and chocolate gelato with longans
Helen’s red bean soup with sticky rice balls
Billy’s curry fish balls and papaya with white fungus and lotus seed dessert
and then time to open presents hehehehe
my 26th b'day with 30 foodbloggers at wagaya - 18 June 2009, 02:47
1 year ago if you had told me i would be having a birthday party with a group of people half of whom i’d never met in real life before i would have laughed. but magically the food blogging crew in sydney have become quite a close-knit community. and feeling ambitious i decided to try my luck in organising the biggest meetup evah at wagaya!
before entering the room you had to take off your shoes. for the floor it was all shiny and with cushions! a large lcd tv is also in the room if you want to play a video and theres also an ipod stereo hookup but for some reason no dock for the ipod so make sure you bring a charger! altho with 25 30 people in the room it will be so loud you wont hear the music =P
and just because i could, i decreed a theme- masquerade!
i had booked the largest private room available and was told it would fit 25 people. i uh thought that was just a ‘guideline’ so i squished in 30 foodbloggers heh heh sorry for the squishyness dudes!
but soon the food arrives and cameras are whipped out and soon the room is filled with a lightning storm of super bright flashes
the edamame is first to arrive and masks are set aside to eat properly
my babies! my absolute favourite at wagaya- the deep fried cheese! oh yes they were so tasty that i stole a bowl for myself heh i dont share my cheese =P
lotus root chips were so very moreish! i couldnt stop eating them!
takoyaki. um i dont think i ate these…
and then out comes the dreaded sushi roulette! heh hiding in one of those pieces is a giant ball of wasabi so hot that you will cry hehe um and yeah thats it for the food photos because i was too busy eating =P
group 1 with their sushi. minh is the lucky winner hehe
group 2. i think the lucky winner was trina?
me and shez
tim, chris, steph, me, betty, trina
AND THE MASTERCHEF JUDGES! haha the awesome billy went thru all the videos and took screenshots and photoshopped them for every single contestant heh awesome effort!
and billy bought me a baa-tiful cake from 85C thanks dude!
helen’s handiwork…
my party gifts to the bloggers- candy necklaces!
and lollipop rings!
heh billy…
the lovely trish made delicious cakepops for everyone!
personalised cake pops! aww thanks dude!

yuletide at restaurant atelier - 11 June 2009, 02:26
can you hear the bells ringing? what, it’s christmas already you ask?! never fear for it is just the pre-winter solstice! tonight a gaggle of foodbloggers are gathered here at Restaurant Atelier for a traditional Yuletide dinner featuring Australian Pork
much love to mel for the invite and the lovely stuart from whiteworks for inviting us to partake in the awesomeness that is pork. restaurant atelier was decked out in mini xmas trees, wreaths, shiny baubles and um the sounds of mariah carey’s xmas album…
how can you not smile at the smiley face olive oil?
thick slices of pillowy soft bread with the most awesome butter evah. seriously. EVAH
stewart white from whiteworks pr and president of the food media club of australia
and the wines! oh the wines! Piggs Peake provided the matching wines and boy were they delish!
billy poses with his super sexy cards
entree. pulled neck salad with Crystal Bay prawn; grilled pickled loin of pork with celeriac remoulade; honey-glazed pork hock with roasted apples. there’s something about a plate of separate portions that makes it that much more appealing to me! my fav was definitely the honey-glazed pork which was meltingly soft and had me eyeing everyone elses heh
the foodbloggers whip out their cameras and all of a sudden the room erupts in bright flashes
moisture infused pork is carved at the front of the restaurant and the bloggers scramble to get the money shot
mains. Left: Boned shoulder of pork roasted with a winter herb cure on creamed parsnip and buttered kale. Right: Pot-roasted Murray Valley moisture-infused pork rack with broad beans, pomme cocotte and pine mushrooms. the moisture infused pork definitely lived up to its name! this is no normal pork oh no it is super juicy and magical. if i was stuck on an island with only one animal to eat it would most definitely be piggy. pork belly, bacon, ham, prosciutto, pork chops and zomg pork crackling!
dessert. Poached winter fruits with Christmas pudding ice cream. unexpectedly i loved the poached fruits and like shez, i saved the prunes for last for they were plump and juicy and so very tasty
after returning from a trip to the bathroom helen and i take a peek at the kitchen only to find chef and owner Darren Templeman laughing at us as we ooh and ahh over the gadgets in the kitchen. he is surprisingly cheerful after plating up our 3 courses for a whole restaurant and shows us his extremely well organised fridge and sexy gadgets
heh heh ffichiban’s drawing on the paper tablecloth…
Thanks again to mel, stewart white, Australian Pork, and Restaurant Atelier for the awesome night! also for the sweet sweet 1.2kg rack of pork!
moar candy - 9 June 2009, 01:26
am loving diva’s collection of candy jewellery! scored the burger and fries earrings, multi coloured (and flavoured heh) donut bracelet and a gummy bear bracelet!
cant believe i forgot about donut day! bah yesterday was donut day and if we were in the u.s we would totally have gotten a free donut -_- but anywhos we went to krispy kreme and got a sampler pack with this sexy rocky road donut- chocolate glazed donut with mini marshmallows, biscuit crumbs and raspberry jam
mah babies!
taco night - 5 June 2009, 00:32
question: which one is the real avocado? heh
i scored this awesome avocado bowl + spoon from lene (hihi!) heh isnt it the best bowl evah!? the lid is tops to rest the spoon on but even better becos i dont need to cling wrap the bowl if i have leftover guacamole
i needed an excuse to use the avocado bowl so dinner was tacos!
yeah my meat to topping ratio is slightly skewed…
blue risotto - 4 June 2009, 01:37
yup i realise my risotto dont look so great. in theory i had wanted to turn the risotto into super dark blue but after the first 3 drops of the blue food colouring i got a lil turned off and wimped out hehe it was for the boy who was counting down the days until state of origin. like my asparagus goal posts? pity the blues lost bah!
yep last shot of the blueness. dont worry i wont be doing this again any time soon haha it was especially disconcerting eating blue chicken…
Chophouse, Sydney - 2 June 2009, 23:46
Chophouse. The very name brings images of giant cleavers and of course meat. Lots of meat. A small contingent of food bloggers had been invited by the lovely Abbe from Chophouse for the launch of the new roast dinner option. Chophouse (25 Bligh St, Sydney) is offering the Roast Dinner for the awesome price of $18 Monday to Saturday.
We make our way inside and it’s all warm and cosy with deep chocolate brown sofa seats and cavernous ceilings
A skull chandelier hangs above the bar creating an interesting and slightly morbid light decoration
How cute are the bread plates!
mmm baked goods
But the moment we have been waiting for! Roast Dinner – Riverine Premium Beef, Byron Bat Berkshire Pork with Crackling! Served with Japanese pumpkin and Dutch cream potatoes. And the crackling oh the crackling! After the flurry of photos taken it was funny to see everyone carefully set aside their square of crackling for last haha
MAH CRACKLING! Also big thank you to Shez who for some reason decided to give me half her piece of crackling heh i dont turn down crackling!
Potato gratin. We also score some side dishes and the potato gratin is one of the best i’ve ever eaten with just the right amount of cheese smothering slices of tender potato and topped with a grilled parmesan crust.
Seasonal green beans. For some reason the beans tasted minty. It was probably just me but I have issues with mint flavour. Yeah i dunno.
And finally dessert time! House-made chocolate block with 80% milk and 20% dark chocolate, combining for a blend that is 46% cocoa. The blend is perfect and not too sweet (hah! this coming from me!) and hidden within the chocolate were shards of crunchy praline deliciousness. Shez is wielding the mini cleaver and chops letter by letter with such glee and then it is a battle of the eyes with Helen over the remaining pieces until…
the lovely head chef David Clarke stops by and gives us 3 blocks of the Chophouse chocolate to take home ahhh a man after my own heart heh again much thanks to Abbe for the invite!
b'day shenanigans - 1 June 2009, 02:37
i love it when my birthday falls on the weekend! it means a whole day out visiting tasty places. first on the to-eat list was breakfast at zumbo land, we arrived at 11am and to my horror almost everything was sold out! i settled on ‘Ed Rock the Cradle’ (Milk coffee cheesecake with chocolate cheesecake base, coffee scented caramel crème and Italian meringue) which was deliciously creamy and smooth and i loved the milk bottle candy sitting atop the cake!
this is what 26 macarons looks like in boxes hehe i didnt get to attempt a ‘let’s see how many macarons i can eat in a row’ because we had to head off to meet the parents at eveleigh markets (thanks to the lovely blog readers who dropped by!) and then to lowenbrau for lunch
mah pork knuckle! it is a thing of beauty that pork knuckle is! crispy golden crackling just begging to be stabbed omnomnom
and then a side trip to Pasticceria Papa in haberfield for the best ricotta cake EVAH oh yes it is so very good. i arrived around 4pm and when i walked thru the entrance my heart plummeted because the section that normally houses stacks of their ricotta cakes was completely empty but i asked the lady anyway if they had any left and she winks and brings out a piping hot ricotta cake from the kitchen w00t
also scored some ang koo kuehs from the lovely alice from Makan@Alice’s mmm and with a special peanut filling!
dinner was at Blake’s (1/33 Terminus St, Castle Hill) where i had their awesome pate
heh and this is what 26 salted popcorn macarons looks like out of their box… and no i have not yet managed to eat them all lol
and the boy sums up the day with this mad awesome drawing hee thanks for taking me eating love!
another year older - 30 May 2009, 01:03
yup im another year older dudes! not necessarily any wiser but hey *shrugs* birth-day has been planned starting with all i can eat macarons at zumbo land thanks to the boy, pork knuckle awesomeness at lowenbrau with the parents, side trip to haberfield to pick up a ricotta cake and dinner of lamb cutlets and pate at our fav local. anywhos hope ya all have an awesome weekend!
restaurant city on facebook is so addictive - 28 May 2009, 02:26
so have you heard about the new game on facebook that has been depriving people of sleep? it’s called restaurant city and i’ve got helen to blame for my increase in walking into walls.
you start out with a teeny tiny restaurant with 3 tables and chairs and 1 stove. first you hire ‘staff’ ie your friends on fb. they dont have to be playing the game but if they do decide to play their avatars’ clothing and hair etc can be changed by them
me! yeah that japanese school girl uniform costs $1900 so dont blow your money on buying things for your avatar! save it and spend on some more chairs!
the inside of mah restaurant! it sure is pink huh?
you can choose the foods you want to serve at your restaurant but you gotta make sure you have all the ingredients
the only way to get ingredients is to log in every day and to also answer a quiz. oh and by visiting your friends who are also playing! if not you can save up your money and trade with the market dude outside who sells stuff at ridiculous prices lol
heh the foodbloggers exteriors of their restaurants lol can you pick who’s are who’s? l-r top to bottom: mine, helen’s, shellie’s, billy’s, pojwaree’srichard’s, bowb’s and sweesan. [images are screenshots]
Adriano Zumbo- 40 Days and 40 Nights in Paris - 24 May 2009, 05:35
it’s that time of year again. out with the old and in with the new! Adriano Zumbo’s new collection of delectable cakes are out now, titled 40 Days and 40 Nights in Paris
unable to make it to the foodbloggers gathering at his shop on sunday, a last minute decision to eat some cake meant helen, billy, bowb, The Pom, Noods and i found ourselves with 6 7 cakes and super hungry stomachs! hot chocolates were ordered or in my case the fabulous butterscotch milkshake mmm sweet
Escape from a Columbia Rainforest ($8.00). this cake is so random and ingenious let alone fun to look at. the ‘lid’ is sprinkled with pop rocks and when cutting in half out flows a river of cherry cola syrup. a river i say!
P ($7.75). yup some of the cakes have letters for names because they have yet to be named lol but P was an awesome creation and i think my 2nd favourite of the cakes we tried with a tonka bean brulee, pain d’epice, sour cream jelly and almond ginger crunch disc. the cakey cubes on the outer layer were cinnamony, and the innards so very smooth and so delicious. i have no idea what the yellow sticks were. anyone?
Just 2 fingers Tiger! ($7.80) had a crumbly biscuit base with two choux pastry logs on top filled with a creamy vanilla and chocolate custard
…….. ($8.20) aka the pretty toffee apple cake heh another take on the famous ‘wheelie good’ creation from a while ago. and while i loved the vanilla apple tatin chantilly and apple tatin compote, sadly the gorgeously shiny red toffee circles was super chewy and had to be left aside but maybe because we had come so late in the afternoon?
X ($7.90). loved this! my favourite cake from our selection that arvo was this mille feuille with a a crispy caramelised sheet of flaky pastry sandwiching a pine nut guanduja mousse, dark chocolate creme, and sacher sponge. helen, bowb and i are silent as we crunch down on the buttery pastry
! ($7.90) hmm while i loved chewing the rice granules in the so called ‘smoked rice orange brulee’ some bits tasted more like burning than smoked. but that could be just me. eh. i cant remember if i liked the rest of the tart (it’s freaking 4am and im sleep deprived from watching my humans run around in restaurant city heh anyone else play?)
Z ($7.90). the cake we had bought had sadly fallen and split in half. so um imagine it standing in one piece. i wasnt too fond of this cake mainly because i dont like olives. or the taste of olive oil when its not covered in garlic mushrooms. oh yum i love garlic mushrooms…
the awesome cake splitting skills! pete has split one cake in half so that the boys side and the girls side get even portions. once pete has split the first cake the boys immediately dig in while the girls decide to divide all the other cakes before starting. bowb is given the task to split and a mighty fine job she has done! and then we started taking innards shots which is probably why we took so long in eating heh
macaron on a stick covered in toffee. it was so very pretty in the shop but sadly the toffee was chewy and i had to pull it off to get at the apple innards mmm apple innards…
heh yes that is an eggs and toast scarf. no i didnt make it. wish i did tho! its from etsy
demolition om nom nom all gone!
last minute recap of last seasons zumbo - 23 May 2009, 00:38
heh thought id sneak in a quick post on some desserts from zumbo before his new range starts 2moro! altho the majority of everything in this post is from the cafe anyway lol anywhos this is a couple of visits condensed into 1 post =P
first some drinks- im pretty sure the boy ordered an iced milk chocolate in the small glass and in the metal container is the best butterscotch milkshake i have ever tasted. sweet, icy cold and so very delicious
yup chocolate is good for the soul
toasted moroccan chicken sandwich ($9) for the boy because he requires savoury before something sweet…
the famed miss marple deconstructed ($13.50)- marscapone filled crepes with maple & strawberry + orange jellies. oh yes you know you want it.
Paris La Vie En Rose ($13.50)- rose crème brulee with raspberry sorbet, lychees and a petit rose macaron served alongside a coconut and tapioca shake. the boy had pointed to this on the menu and even tho i kept telling him everything would be pink, girly and very much rose flavoured he was adamant that he wanted it. and when it arrived he stares at it and says IT’S PINK?! [palm face]
Ricotta Pancakes with Berry Coulis and Passionfruit Cream
yuzu no a nothing ($8.95)- biscuit macaron, lime & pineapple compote with mint and yuzu creme legere. i love love LOVE this! yuzu is a japanese citrus fruit that tastes like a cross between mandarin and pineapple with a touch of lemon. well to me it does. heh. but it is awesome! the boy had declared he wouldnt eat any of my dessert but soon he is nicking bits of yuzu when im not looking bah!
MAH YUZU MACARON! OM NOM NOM!
1 week to go - 18 May 2009, 19:34
