They say that most people don’t see the ten years of hard work behind an overnight success, and that has never been more apparent that on the menu of Ashfield’s newest (and best) cafe by the name of Koku Culture. Led from the front by two former Billy Kwong chefs and one from Lotus, their […]
Throughout my life, there have been a number of jobs and careers that I wanted. When I was 5, I wanted to be a banker. Closest I came to that was opening a bank account. When I was 7, I wanted to be an archaeologist. Closest I came to that was watching Jurassic Park. When I […]
Shopping centre food is notoriously bad. You either have to settle for fast food that isn’t served very fast, unauthentic Chinese food that you can’t find in China or butter chicken without any butter in it. Look what smuggled into Broadway Shopping Centre whilst everyone was watching the Olympics. I’d like to introduce Dutch Smuggler […]
If you have a look at what Hollywood is coming up with outside of comic book movies, you’ll be thoroughly disappointed. We have remakes, prequels, sequels, sequels to prequels and movies trying to convince us that Kevin James is a movie star. We also have weird combinations coming up like Godzilla vs King Kong….yes, it […]
I grew up in Burwood Park. Well, not exactly. It’s not like I was fending for myself by the pond and sleeping in the gazebos. I spent a lot of time there with friends, ducks as well as old ladies performing Tai Chi. And I will continue spending a lot of time there with The […]
Once upon a time, being near Kensington meant I was on my way to class. Admittedly, my attendance during my tertiary education was quite low. I was too busy not going to uni to actually go to uni, you’re not going to believe this but my low-attendance methods resulted in two degrees (man, I hope […]
As I grow older, more and more of my friends are getting hitched. Every day, I see more announcements and photos from a romantic weekend gone by. Nights of drunken escapades, regrettable hook-ups and waking up next to strangers have been replaced with discussions about diamond sizes, honeymoon spots and waking up next to the […]
After getting rejected left, right and centre; I decided to take a break from girls for a while. I think the tipping point was when a girl told me nothing was ever going to happen even though I had never asked her out. I thought that was a bit harsh and went home to cry […]
Once upon a time, I was a part-time postgraduate student at Macquarie University. Ok, I was supposed to be there full-time but life was too hectic for me to be in class all the time. I had old episodes of Friends to watch, I had Minesweeper to play and girls for me to pine over. Keep in […]
Once upon a time, young Isaac was traumatised and exhausted from fear. He was in the midst of saying farewell to a girl he had just spent a horrible day with. He hoped that this memory would fade in time. However, the girl felt the exact opposite. She wanted to immortalise the moment and asked if […]
Grocery shopping when hungry is one of the most rookie adult mistakes one can make. Naturally, it’s one I make almost every single time. I go into Woolworths with the intention of just buying broccoli, tuna and some bread and emerge with three cans of Pringles, two tubs of Golden Gaytime ice cream, a 1kg […]
I’ve been so many places I’ve seen so many faces But nothing compares To these blue and yellow Reuben Hills in Surry Hills. A Sydney institution, you can always count on a super vibrant Surry Hills crowd gathered outside of Reuben Hills. With an eclectic breakfast menu influenced by Mexican, Asian and a host of […]
