I am fascniated by Tinder, I become an investigative reporter every time I’m having out with a homie who I know is on thisĀ one-stop site to meat people. How do you determine whether to swipe left or right? Do you just look at pictures? Do you think the future father of your child is sitting […]

Royal Stacks, Melbourne CBD
To stop myself from becoming lazy, I take note of every barb and shot ever thrown my way. I remember random things my teachers said, random things members of my extended family have said and even random things from people on the streets. Yes, yes I am in therapy, why do you ask? I even […]
Ice Cream Scrolls at 3 Mama’s Chef, Haymarket
Full disclosure: I will not be talking about Thai food. There won’t be pad thai, pad see ew, tom yum or any sort of curry discussed at all. No, I’ll be talking about ice cream. More specifically ice cream scrolls currently being served outside of 3 Mama’s Chef in Haymarket. Let’s scroll. One of my […]
Tim Ho Wan Burwood, Burwood Westfield
My family is from Macau which is an island just a short ferry ride away from Hong Kong and is famous for housing thousands of Chinese people keen for baccarat, blackjack, slots and weird dice games at any given time. It’s the Vegas of the east minus the hookers, drugs, In n Out and Shake […]
Sake, Double Bay
One of the biggest differences between being a kid and an adult is experience. Thanks Dr. iFat please tell me more. Sure, will do. Most adults will do what they need to do and that’s it. Sure, they might push themselves a little bit harder at the gym or explore one extra store to seek […]
Bovine and Swine Barbecue Company, Enmore
I have a bad habit of not eating at barbecues and picnics. I usually have very little faith about people who are pulled into cooking for a random occasion and tend to eat beforehand so I don’t starve as I’m making small talk with someone who’s in the midst of a mid-life crisis when I’m […]
Reuben Hills, Surry Hills
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 […]
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 […]
A Weekend of Wollongong Restaurants
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from repeated viewings of 8 Mile is that you have one shot. One opportunity. Eminem taught a generation that you’ve got to lose yourself in the music, the moment, you better never let it go. Don’t let a chance slip on by or let the moment pass. Who knows […]
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 […]
Sokyo Ramen Pop Up, Pyrmont
I’m always in a state of wanderlust. I dream of watching the cricket at Lords in London. I want to play high stakes poker in Macau. I can visualise downloading torrents at 2,000mb per second in a seedy internet cafe in Seoul. I taste the buttery croissants served to me from a nice French girl […]
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 […]
