The Pie Tin, Newtown
Tim Tams are an Australian classic like me taking a girl out to dinner to have her tell me we’re great friends.
Tim Tams are an Australian classic like me taking a girl out to dinner to have her tell me we’re great friends.
I finished dinner five minutes ago yet I’m salivating. That’s just a murderer’s row of quality ingredients all under the one roof. It’s like the cast of Love Actually.
I was talking to a buddy of mine a while ago about the weirdest couple names she’s ever heard of/used herself. She didn’t say anything too outlandish (wax candle was my favourite; who calls their significant other: ‘wax candle?). She then asked me the same question and I was stumped. Except for some weird lapses …
My co-workers visited Three Williams in the morning and told me that the coffee was pretty amazing. Due to the fact that I have trust issues built up over years of lies from my parents (I’m still recovering from Santa being just some dude with a fake beard), I had to see for myself it the coffee lived up to the hype.
Everyone that follows me on Instagram knows that I still have a bit of a problem when it comes to ice cream. So you can imagine the chain of events that unfolded upon me learning of a new gelato place that was garnering a heap of praise.
I just had to get the inside scoop.
Say what you will about America, but free refills are something I’m very passionate about. I think it’s an excellent idea and I’m glad Ikkyu does it as long as you preserve some of your soup.
The texture is amazing as you tear away at this roll and savouring every bite like you’re making out with the girl you’ve had a crush on since third grade. The satisfaction of accomplishment, the flavour and the triumphant emotions that just swell through every fiber of your being…..damn.
I’m a terrible cook. Case in point: when I was younger; I thought that dumping a bunch of ingredients into my fried rice would make it tastier. Leftovers? They’re going in. Bacon? Well, you can’t leave that out. Pizza from three nights ago? It’s different, but normal is overrated so you’re going in too!
Shake Shack should be a national heritage site. It should be placed on all ‘places to visit’ brochures of every city fortunate enough to boast one of (if not the best) burger franchises in the Milky Way. Am I being hyperbolic? Hell, I might be underselling the greatest burger experience I’ve ever had.
I don’t have a point of comparison but the garlic dynamic made this an incredibly delicious bowl of ramen for me. The garlic flakes added another texture and flavour that was just what I wanted even if I didn’t know I wanted it beforehand.
Spoiler alert: We had two dessert courses because…just because, okay?
There is nothing wrong with having high expectations, that just means you have high standards and that you’re not willing to settle for anything less than a superb crab po boy.
The pork belly burger had my heart racing in my skin tight jeans and it’ll definitely be in my teenage dreams tonight.
One more time for dramatic effect; this might be the best tea I’ve ever had. The scent of passionfruit seduced me completely and the staff at the Choc Pot was really confused as to why I was suddenly topless in public view.
Old Town Hong Kong Cuisine might feature some of the most photogenic dishes in Sydney. I just couldn’t believe how magnificent a sight the dumplings made encased in their bird’s next container.
Eel sushi is my favourite. Whoever figured out that cream cheese and eel are best friends deserves whatever they want in life. My two eel topped morsels were quite large and topped with deep fried crisps. I ate these two so fast that the flavours barely registered. When they did, it felt like I was receiving a tongue massage from the finest foods the ocean and dairy Gods could offer.
Oh my. So good.
Coffee Tea and Me is a tiny cafe that you can completely miss even if you know exactly where it is. It just blends into its surroundings so well. It’s like trying to spot me in an engineering lecture hall when you only have a vague idea as to what I actually look like. Continue reading
I just let sit on my tongue as I thought about my life and wondered why Justin Timberlake didn’t give his ‘N Sync bandmates more time to perform at the MTV Music Awards last year. Continue reading
It’s like any dinner party that has the host saying iFat will not be attending (I’m bad at dinner parties because I insist on taking photos of everything and making every non-food blogger wanting to stab me with chopsticks). Continue reading
The soup encased in the dumplings was piping hot, tasty and resulted in the four of us drinking from our bowls like James Franco drinking water after being rescued in 127 Hours. Continue reading
Thanks to the kind folk over at Chi & Co, I have a $50 voucher to give away to one lucky reader. In order to win, simply come up with the best Vietnamese food pun you can and the voucher is yours. Make sure it’s original or I’ll put you on blast pho real. Continue reading
I came here with one of my vegetarian friends and she was incredibly excited. She was behaving the same way I would if I was granted backstage access to a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. She was just happy that she could select anything on the menu and not restricted to a section tinier than Jabba the Hutt’s list of dietary restrictions. Continue reading
I seem to be using synonyms for unprecedented a lot throughout this blog but everything on offer was completely new to me. Aerated chocolate was another unfamiliar sensation and one I would love to get very familiar with if you catch my drift. Continue reading
I’ve done a lot of stupid things over the years.
A lot of them are because I’m an idiot. Continue reading
My mind was fantasising about dates involving serenading, dancing and pignics with this slice of pork.
I have weird thoughts. Continue reading
It’s like Santa giving you a crispy $100 bill after delivering you your presents AND giving you the phone number of one of his cuter elves. Continue reading
