Random iFat trivia time: I don’t like swimming very much. I can swim, I’m no Michael Phelps but I’m not a flailing mass of limbs either when you throw me in a body of water. It goes back to an incident I had as a kid in which I nearly drowned because the girl who […]

The Upside Cafe, Ultimo
Once upon a time, I hated my job. I was stuck in a place where I thought careers went to die which was ironic because it was one of my first “real” jobs. In my mind, I had nowhere else to go. This is what university had prepared me for, it was all a part […]
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 […]
A Weekend of Eats in Melbourne
People who haven’t known me for long always seem to be curious about what I was like in school. Was I a teacher’s pet? Was I bullied? Is it true that I owned a pink lunchbox at one point? Did I come up with harebrained schemes that involved selling dirt to people in McDonalds bags […]
Kim Restaurant, Potts Point
You know who I have nothing but respect for? Khloe Kardashian. You see, the thing about Kendall is that she just capitalised upon a situation where most people would just stick their heads in the sand. A family member has a tape exposed (heh) to the public about some shenanigans and suddenly she becomes one […]
Paper Plane Cafe, Parramatta
I will never forget my first experience on a plane It was for a family trip to Queensland, I was 11 years old and not sure what to expect. I had always wanted to fly but I imagined doing it with a red cape on my back and not cramped up in a tiny space […]
Vic’s Meat Market, Pyrmont
The Sydney Fish Markets are renowned across the country as one of the premiere spots to get ahold of some fresh seafood. Restraunteurs, chefs and tourists alike all flock to its location by the water in Pyrmont to get ahold of succulent prawns, the finest cuts of tuna and an assortment of crustaceans just waiting […]
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 […]
