I love chips. I love them in bags, I like them in cans and I like them alongside my burger. I love them covered in sauce, chicken salt and gravy. I love Lay’s, Kettles and Pringles. However, I don’t like Grain Waves. Screw those shoddy imitation chips. I rather go to Brainwave Cafe in Ultimo. […]

Rustic Pearl, Surry Hills
As time has passed, my taste in music has changed drastically. Growing up, I listened to whatever my sister was listening to. This consisted mostly of R&B and sad break up songs when boys would dump her (confession: she only really got dumped once and the guy told her he was leaving the country immediately. It […]
Cafe Oratnek, Redfern
One of my food blogging heroes, Chocolatesuze once dished out the greatest analogy of all time. I’m not going to tell you what we were talking about but this analogy is so good that context isn’t even required: “They’re like oatmeal. No matter what you do with it, it still tastes the same.” That’s the […]
Glider KS, Chippendale
You’re not going to believe this but I’m not very adventurous. My idea of weekend adventure consists of sleeping in past 6 o’clock and delaying my afternoon nap ’til 1 o’clock. The most exciting thing I’ve done recently is putting two scoops of ice cream between two Krispy Kreme donuts and devouring it all within […]
Textbook Boulangerie-Patisserie, Alexandria
Here’s something I just realised about myself; I’m a little bit of a hoarder. No, I’m not Hodor; I’m a hoarder. I still have really random possessions from weird chapters in my life. There’s the orange scarf from the time I tried my hand at cosplay (this will be the only time I ever talk […]
Clipper Cafe, Glebe
Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I close my eyes and visualise the same thing. I’m a little bit younger, I’m wearing a suit and I’m eagerly awaiting to hear my name called out by the commissioner of the NBA Draft. For those who don’t know, there is an event called the “draft” every year in […]
Roastville, Marrickville
There were a lot of things I missed out on growing up in a Chinese household. I never celebrated Christmas with my family or Easter or Thanksgiving. Hell, we never even gathered everyone around the television set to watch the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. I missed out on years of Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr […]
Local Mbassy, Ultimo
Once upon a time, I was in a doomed relationship. There were many signs throughout the tenure that hinted at our inevitable demise but one particular moment made it a bit more obvious than anything. We were walking along the street hand in hand. All of a sudden, she pulled away and sprinted off in […]
Well Co, Glebe
There are a lot of random things I want in life. I want a premium bath robe like the ones they provide in hotels (every hotel in the world has just been flagged that I am a likely robe thief), I want a mini fridge for my bedroom (so that I never have to leave […]
Wedge Espresso, Glebe
I’m going to forget a lot of things when I’m old and grey. Whoops, I meant I’m going to continue forgetting things as I continue getting older and greyer. I’ll probably remember the big moments (my nephews being born, my graduations, the time I finally caught every Pokémon in existence) but a lot of the […]
Haven Tailoring Coffee Joyously, Surry Hills
Once upon a time, I didn’t have the internet. The year was 2008 and a rival gang decided to cut my connection in an attempt to sever my ability to communicate with all my henchmen. An alternate version of the story involves my parents snipping it absent mindedly thinking it was connected to an explosive. […]
Cuckoo Callay (Revisited), Newtown
Let’s take the Delorean back to 2002 for a second. I was in love with this girl. Ok, maybe I didn’t fully comprehend what being in love meant. All I know is that there wasn’t anyone else I wanted to share a bag of chips with more than this girl in particular. You have to […]
