Vanessa: To celebrate the occasion of my lovely husband’s (Mr M’s) birthday, we packed up and head off on a 3.5 hour road trip out of Sydney, inland towards Orange and I will be forever grateful that we did! I’ve always heard rumors of this country town being somewhat of a foodie haven and now […]
Vanessa: I contemplated for a while whether to share our experience trying to take on the Mac 24/7 ‘ Mac – Daddy Pancake Challenge’ on our recent trip to Hawaii. For one this is an overly indulgent, calorie laden, mammoth pancake stack so the guilt factor was high afterwards but also because we were defeated…and […]
Vanessa: Since moving from the Inner West to the South West a couple of years… Clean Treats Alexandria, Plant based cafe sydney, Vegan Sydney Toby’s Estate cafe, Sydney. Toby’s Estate coffee [invite] Bianca: A whole cafe dedicated to the delightful peanut spread? Shiver me timbers!! When… Vanessa: My radio silence over the last few months […]
Bianca: You may have heard my constant ramblings about my love for ‘Bonarche Burgers’ in previous posts. They do, what I believe to be, some of the best burgers in Sydney. Better than ‘Chur Burgers’ and I’ve been to Chur three times to make that comparison, so I don’t say it lightly. Nestled in the […]
Vanessa: Last week myself and fellow FFS members, Bianca and Alex, got to tick one of the items of our “restaurant bucket list” by attending a luncheon at China Republic in World Square. Having heard many times over about one said Peking duck, we were delighted to be invited to taste the latest express lunch […]
Bianca: Leichhardt’s Norton Street isn’t the Italian stalwart it once was, the abandoned store fronts aren’t doing much to sell the suburb that was virtually my second home growing up. My Nonna lives a street back from Norton Street and many a nights were spent making the short trek to Bar Italia after dinner for […]
[invite] Bianca: I’ll put my hands up, I don’t generally gravitate towards Asian sweets, Meet Fresh… jelly based desserts? Japanese Cheesecakes? I…just…dodon’t….get…it? Unless there’s a boatload of chocolate and peanut butter I’m really not interested. This was actually our second visit to Passion Tree. But now they have pancakes and my interest spiked tenfold! After a meal […]
[invite] Bianca: Nestled in a quiet thoroughfare just a few paces away from bustling St Leonards station courtyard is The Flying Egg. It did sort of feel like you were stumbling on an unknown gem, with its light airy fit-out. Bold white tiles, big tick from us. Starting with a round of Coffees $4 and an Orange […]
Vanessa: I think by now it’s fairly clear that distance is no barrier on our quest to seek out good food and this post is yet another example of that. When an invitation was extended for Bianca and I to visit the recently opened PECA in Gledswood Hills, I admit I had to take to […]
Bianca: An absolute must-visit when venturing north towards Port Stephens is the charming restaurant The Poyers, owned and run by husband and wife duo Ludovic Poyer and Mandy. Located 30 mins from the heart of Port Stephens in Lemon Tree Passage, The Poyer’s perhaps takes the cake for one of my most memorable meals in […]
Vanessa: Ending a busy working week catching up with friends always makes for the start of a good weekend.. add great food in the mix and you’re winning! This particular friday night hubby (Mr M) and I dined with our friends at Medusa Greek Taverna. I had been here before but it was a first for […]
Bianca: We were lucky this past March/April to have three French relatives visit, having family all around the world; we are blessed to have these usually short but sweet visits. Between all the family members we did the usual Sydney touristy things. Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, the city, Harbour boat tours, walks around Manly and […]
Bianca: My never-ending burger quest brought me to ‘Publife Kitchen’ in Ultimo, the first visit with fellow bad-arse burger lover and Melbournite instagrammer @YESITSKARINA. The second visit with my work partner in crime and all around comic book nerd Mark (Job Dun) a third visit with my gal posse and a fourth visit with the […]
