Vanessa: Surry Hills is well-known for its vast range of eateries, leaving would-be diners spoiled for choice. Now, a new contender is in the mix with the emergence of Arthur last October, located on Bourke Street. Headed up by Tristan Rosier and his Partner, Rebecca Fanning, this 40-seat, intimate spaced restaurant brings a new wave of […]
Vanessa: Growing up in the north shore suburb of Forestville, my childhood memories of eating out consisted of a fisherman’s basket from the local fish & chip shop and sizzling Mongolian lamb from the one and only Chinese restaurant. Fast forward 20 years and the suburbs of Sydney are now offering up a variety of […]
Bianca: There is something special about donning your Sunday best and spending the day whiling away over tea and delicious food. As you know, here at FFS we really don’t need much of an excuse to make a fuss over meals and dining out, it’s one of our favourite past times! We do enjoy a good high […]
Alex: Recently we had the opportunity to have a bit of a cooking party with Delamere Dairy Goats Butter. A mild tasting butter with the brand originating from the UK! We opted for a 3 course meal with the dessert being something we could eat over the next few days. See our creations below! ENTREE. […]
Bianca: Now maybe this is just in my house but my dad, whenever there is some cleaning to be done, will head outside, seconds later we’ll hear the whining of the leaf blower. These days it’s the equivalent to the pool rod cleaner. Apparently having one also doesn’t fit the bill, we have two in […]
Bianca: To celebrate Madre’s impending acceptance into the pensioner’s hall of fame, otherwise known as her… Alex: When myself and fellow FFSaker Vanessa entered Rabbit Hole, and knowingly walked down those spiral…
Bianca: It’s become a bit of a tradition to celebrate my Nonno’s birthday with a weekend away in a hired house in Leura and I was wanting to see what the mountains had to offer in terms of a good burger. I was hard pressed to find something promising but what did keep popping up was […]
Vanessa: Since moving to Panania, in South-West Sydney, last year I have been on a mission to uncover what the “burbs” have to offer by way of food and cafe culture. Although initially doubtful, I have been pleasantly surprised to discover some terrific gems in suburbia, Dessertoya Cafe being one of them. A car service […]
Bianca: So I’m currently obsessed with dan dan noodles and have been on the hunt for some of the best in Sydney. I don’t know how far I’ll get with this search because I can’t go beyond the amaze Dan Dan at 257 Home Kitchen. 257 Home Kitchen specialises in Shanghainese cuisine, the Sheng jian bao are […]
Bianca: My only experience with Bar Ume and chef and owner Kirby Craig was a burger shared three ways from one of his 2015 pop-ups. Suffice to say I was intrigued. Lining up for food has never been my style so I always held off and with the closure of Ume and a rebranding and […]
Alex: The temperature dropped below 10 degrees on this particular night but we persevered for the Truffle Cheese Degustation at The Gazebo in Potts Point. Give us a slab of cheese and a good ratio of crackers and you’ve pretty much won all of our hearts here at FFS, so to say that we were […]
[invite] Bianca: It’s that time of year, Michael Buble & Mariah Carey are on high… [invite] Bianca: After a refurbishment in 2015, the heritage-listed, art deco PRIMUS HOTEL opened its… Vanessa: Sydneysiders are now lucky enough to have access to a new style of culinary creativity… Bianca: With just over a year under their belt at […]
[invite] Bianca: We instantly fell in love with the fit-out and decor at Dove at Dover cafe. I admit, most of the Eastern Suburbs is unchartered territory for me but step directly outside the cafe and you’re welcomed by a beautiful vista out across Sydney Harbour. They have recently undergone a complete refurb and it’s easy to […]
{invite} Bianca: So I’ll preface this little write-up with the fact I religiously watched the Great British Menu when Jason Atherton and Tom Kerridge were kicking around. Fast forward to early 2016 and Atherton opened his first Australian restaurant in Chippendale’s, Central Park. Kensington Street Social is a seamlessly cool restaurant. Floor to ceiling windows […]
