Vanessa: A visit to Strathfield’s vibrant food scene generally leaves me overwhelmed by the choice of dining options. However, I have located one place that I will definitely make a bee line for many times over. Recently, I was introduced by my lovely cousin, Veronica, to the Vietnamese eatery, Me Oi. Me Oi, which translates […]

{invite} Bianca: I’m fairly late to the Cuckoo Callay party, having missed their baconfest the last 2 years, fellow FFS’aker Ness went and absolutely loved it. We ventured down early one cold morning after an extended invite, the cafes manager, Seren was thankfully handing out blankets all to the shivering souls braving the early morning […]

Vanessa: There are so many things I love about Sundays. Apart from the obvious of it being a day of rest, the opportunity for a lazy brunch is one that I find hard to pass up. On this particular sunny Sunday, my good friend Pete suggested we gather the troops to try one of his […]

[invite] Bianca: Wentworth Point will forever have a soft spot in my heart, I bought my first property back in 2013 when there was nothing but industrial factories. Today it’s home with the hoosband and the dining and cafe scene is pretty darn envious. Marina Square opened late last year and injected a serious dose […]

Bianca: Happy 2017 folks! I’ve been an admirer of Contessa Balmain for a little while now. Granted this has all been through some social media stalking, thanks to their rather photogenic cheeseburger. I’m not your typical Saturday morning active-wear type of girl. You won’t find me slurping freshly squeezed juices or lapping out of an […]

{invite} Bianca: Haul out the fat pants and stretchy clothes, you’re going to need them. Team FFS assembled a few weeks back where we gorged on Pizza, pasta, seafood, Indian, cakes, Ice-cream… you name it, we ate it. After a recent refurb the former Garden Buffet has now become Harvest Buffet. Sunday lunch sets you […]

Bianca: It was burger o’clock in FFS world and when we can combine Alex’s favourite… Bianca: In another life Alex was a Gossip Girl. He had a flock of minions… Bianca: The former industrial hub of Waterloo is fast becoming the new ‘it’ suburb with… Vanessa: The idea of a fish n’ chip shop conjures […]

Bianca: Ahh San Fran, how I love you! Opening mid-2017 is one of San Francisco’s trendiest boutique hotels, San Francisco Proper Hotel.  For Aussie readers, think ‘QT’ hotel chain, it’s quirky, fun with a WHOLE lot of attitude. We were here to try Villon, the hotels contemporary modern American restaurant, showcasing seasonal ingredients. Palace of Fine […]

[invite] Bianca: I must say, I didn’t really know what to expect when we received an… [invite] Bianca: Back when I first visited the Stuffed Beaver in Bondi we had been wading… Bianca: During a Friday spent accompanying Alex, photographing some of Sydney iconic pizza’s a month… Vanessa: A midweek catch up with friends brought us to […]

Bianca: ‘Copo Café’ is one of those places I’ve constantly heard murmurings of through the grapevines. Known for their breakfast menu, of which they offer all day. Great for those not so keen on the early hours. For me…it’s all about lunch. I’ve never really been mad for breakfast, I’d always push back catch up […]

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 […]

Bianca: Now that the cold weather is in full swing, it means the heavy quilts come out, we dust the coats off, bring out the ugg boots and eat every single carb in sight. Just us? Oh… But I’ll be honest I’ll be eating heavy carbs in the middle of summer, such is the love […]

Bianca: Looking for a quick feed before seeing the seriously effed up ‘Map to the Stars’ with my work pal Mark (Job Dun) who I then proceeded to bully into making him wear his namesakes t-shirt, yes I’m a dictator. We made our way to ‘Moo Burgers’ in Newtown. For the burger mad fiend that […]

Alex: Like most, I should have been on my way to work this chilly Monday morning but instead it was 8.00am and I was walking into the bustling Charlotte’s Cafe in Birchgrove. Before I even waked in, I saw a line of people huddling at the front to get a table, or waiting for their […]
