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 […]

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 […]

Buttermelt Cafe, Strathfield

I have a black v-neck sweater that’s perfect for all occasions. It’s my go-to garment for work, dates and even when I need to settle a score on the basketball court. I’ve kicked many an ass with my blue button up underneath my go-to sweater. Spoiler alert: Buttermelt Cafe is the dining equivalent of my black […]

I like to branch out and visit hidden gems and shed a little spotlight on some of the lesser known eateries that Sydney has to offer. Sure, even the most popular spots could use a second opinion but I rather be the first voice to sing the praises of an establishment I have an affinity […]

Little lost bread: Brioche French toast with strawberries, balsamic and strawberry gastrique, strawberry cheesecake ice cream and arnott's biscuit crumble

Devon on Danks, Waterloo

It’s only been four months since I wrote about Devon Cafe and my morning routine is completely different to the one I described back then. I think the blonde woman who was always running late has been fired. The couple that was once on and off are now completely off. I still see the guy every now […]

Salmones: Scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, asparagus + sourdough

Tapeo, Redfern

I’ve got a massive chip on my shoulder the metaphorical equivalent of three packs of Pringles. I’m not sure when it started but I can think of a number of incidents that contributed to it. Let’s go back to fourth grade for a bit. School photos had just arrived and my teacher was handing them […]

Open smoked salmon sandwich at Autolyse SydneyOpen smoked salmon sandwich at Autolyse Sydney

Autolyse, Chippendale

I was without my phone for most of last Saturday. It’s a long story but it involves chronic texting, needless browsing of Instagram, checking to see if anyone read iFat (still nope) and leaving my phone charger at the office. Combine all those factors and I was left with a nice plastic paperweight that I […]

Pumpkin Fritters at Cuckoo Callay, Newtown

Cuckoo Callay, Newtown

I’ve been called a lot of mean things in my life. Rightfully so but still. The most memorable insult  I ever received was the time a girl in my modern history class called me a “sl*t.” Keep in mind that this was before I had even touched a boob so I was extremely confused. There […]

Eggs Blini at Devon Cafe, Surry Hills

Devon Cafe, Surry Hills

My favourite part of my daily routine is the walk from Central station to the office. Every day I see the same faces during my route. The blonde woman who’s always late, the Asian couple in constant relationship flux (they walk on opposite sides of the path if they’ve fought the night before and walk […]

Lobster rolls at Devon by Night, Surry Hills

Devon by Night, Surry Hills

Jealousy and I have never really made each other’s acquaintance. In a past life when I was actually dating people, I never minded if my girlfriend would hang out with her male friends or whatever. This was mainly due to my past self’s supreme confidence. In my mind, if you were dating me, I knew […]
