[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 […]
Bianca: The former industrial hub of Waterloo is fast becoming the new ‘it’ suburb with a bounty of new apartment complexes going up the locals need somewhere local to eat! And placed directly across the road from our cousin’s new apartment, is Barista and Cook. We were invited down to try the food, so let’s […]
Alex: Rapidly becoming one of the most hyped and talked about places in the inner west, Brewtown Newtown offers a rustic and well thought out dining area/cafe that seems to have a never ending amount of people frolicking to get in. The decision to come here was based solely on comparing their Cronuts to the […]
Bianca: A quaint retro café banging out modern Middle Eastern inspired café dishes? Welcome to ‘Plunge No. 46’. An interesting menu is generally a sure-fire way to get me in the front door, especially when it pertains to breakfast/lunch. I just can’t possibly look at another avocado on toast dish or baked eggs. Zzzzzzzzzz. Enter […]
Vanessa: Double Bay is generally not high on my radar for places to dine out but the more I go there, the more I discover that the dining scene is one worth exploring. Case in point, myself, Bianca and Alex were recently invited to sample the winter menu at Niji Restaurant & Bar in the […]

Bianca: Yes, I shamelessly dragged out my birthday celebrations out over a whole weekend. Don’t be a hater. Being a native Sydney resident, this was my third ever experience staying in a hotel in my own city. Special occasions call for some fancy pants digs and the Sydney Harbour Marriott played the perfect home away […]
[invite] Bianca Wentworth Point is becoming quite the little foodie enclave, with the recent opening of Aviary Coffee House and Cafe Treehouse. And why exactly is this exciting for me? This little lady bought an apartment a few years back when the Wentworth point piazza was the only dining option. Things have definitely changed… The space […]
Alex: As the terms slowly go by, the assignments and briefs get harder and harder, and while I love a good challenge, this assignment was right up my alley and got me very excited!! For those that don’t know, I’m currently in my second year, studying a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communications majoring in […]
[invite] Bianca: Working outside of the CBD means it’s rare we get to enjoy the Sydney CBD bar scene, SILY (formerly Since I Left You) has been charming the city crowd since they opened in 2011 and it’s easy to see why. Part of the magic is locating the inner sanctum, with a gorgeous cobbled stone […]
Bianca: My interest with southern inspired fare started with my 2014 US trip, everyone has to experience New Orleans and its Creole food just once in their lives. I’ve always had an affinity with burgers and fried food. But there’s just something about soul food that really speaks to something deep within. It’s comforting, rich, […]
Bianca: For many years Alex and I had been discussing a US trip – Late December 2013 all our planning and saving had paid off. We had a whole 7 weeks ahead of us with two travelling companions. Numerous states, too many plane rides to count and an absurd amount of food. Over the next […]
Vanessa: Set amongst the “business end” of the CBD and beneath the Museum of Sydney is The Governor’s Table. The restaurant boasts a charming interior with its mix of sandstone and timber as well as covered outdoor seating which allows you to watch the passers-by. Team FFS gathered for a mid-week rendezvous and settled into […]
No one in my family has ever really had that pull to travel to Bali…… Vanessa: I think by now it’s fairly clear that distance is no barrier on our… Vanessa: A place that offers copious variations of spritz-based cocktails and colourful vegan and non-vegan pasta is… Alex: I’m always a little dubious when it comes to […]
