Bianca: I love a road trip just as much as the next person and when I can combine a mission for food and seeing somewhere new, I’m all for it. I vaguely remember a few visits to the Gong when I was much younger and with family so I was interested to see just how […]
[invite] Bianca: My exposure to Indian food has embarrassingly been the more typical Western staples. Butter chicken, tandoori chicken, rogan josh… And while these are unquestionably favourites for a reason, there was so much I was missing out on. Step in Lal Qila, a Pakistani restaurant specialising in Mughlai cuisine. Known for their spicy dishes […]
Vanessa: Lebanese food ranks high on both myself and Mr M’s preferred cuisine list and visiting Al Aseel in Alexandria had been on our agenda for a little while. Al Aseel first opened its Greenacre restaurant back in 2012 and now has four venues across Sydney and one in Wollongong. Having heard very good things about the Greenacre […]
Attica – Melbourne Bianca: In terms of fine dining around the world I have a ways to go, Alex and Vanessa have both made it a point to visit a few Michelin starred restaurants on their travels. I’ve yet to have the pleasure but I have made a decent crack in the Australian fine-dining scene. But […]
[invite] Bianca: Japanese food has always been a mysterious creature to me, full of dishes I cannot pronounce, flavours that challenge my palate and until recently, the one cuisine that champions everything I could not previously stomach – sashimi/sushi. Cue years later and I’m constantly recruiting friends to join me on my Japanese food hunts. […]
Alex: There’s no denying that worldwide, The Langham is known as an iconic symbol of opulence and luxury. In early October, Team FFS took a trip to Melbourne to continue to eat our way through the city (and doing a pretty damn good job at that) but a decision that always ends up leading to a […]
Alex: There’s no denying that the eastern suburbs offer some of the best hotspots for cafe’s, restaurants and beaches in Sydney, if not Australia. There’s a definite vibe when visiting the east. It’s chilled, laid back, perhaps a little snooty according to B and V but who’s judging? It’s easily my favourite area just 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 […]
Bianca: Who would think, in what would appear to be an unassuming Paddington house, lies possibly one of the finest French restaurants in Sydney. Following on from Guillaume’s lauded run at Bennelong’s Opera House, Guillaume oozes sophistication and old world French charm. But get in quick with a recent decision to close on December 30th […]
Bianca: So my love of burgers progressed into joining and then becoming one of the moderators of the Facebook burger fervour group: FBAS or the Fattties Burger Appreciation Society. With over 73,000 members, it’s a crazy but affable legion of burger aficionados. And as a way to get together and celebrate the community, we’re throwing […]
Bianca: Another week, another burger opening in Sydney but the chops behind Superior Burgers are bonafide legendary. Pub Life Kitchen’s Jovan Curic is back to his roots out west, with his ode to the milk bar style classic takeaway joint. You wouldn’t be remiss to think you were stepping back in to the 70’s if […]
[invite] Bianca: Having a successful restaurant in today’s climate is hard enough. But the Pagano family have now added another heavy hitting Italian restaurant to the fold with Entrata in Glenhaven. We couldn’t stop raving about the food at Bel Fiore in Dural when we went last year. Finding good Italian restaurants for us is […]
Bianca: A whimsical playful café serving traditional café food with a bit of an Asian twist. Botanica Garden Café is nestled just adjacent to the Waverton station. You wouldn’t be remiss to think you had stumbled into an oasis hideaway. There are many nooks and crannies and spacious seating options. Sunday lunch there were a […]
Bianca: Continuing on our Queensland holiday adventure recap, we were keen to check out the Asian dining scene in our Northern neighbours state. So we perused the trusty 2016 Gourmet Traveller guide and quickly settled on TEN Japanese. Suffice to say that was the best decision we made during our little weekend away. After flitting around […]
