St. Ali, South Melbourne & The food bloggers of Australia: Eat Drink Blog 2010

23 March 2010

7 Comments

Have you read Part 1 of Eat.Drink.Blog 2010? South Melbourne isn’t really my turf. I hardly stop by the suburb as I have no business in the area. So while I have long heard of St. Ali, I have never had the chance to sample any of their offerings. Happily for me, St. Ali was [...]

Australia’s Inaugural Food Bloggers Conference 2010 - Eat.Drink.Blog

22 March 2010

Eat. Drink. Blog. Seeing as there were only 45 seats available at the first Australian Food Bloggers Conference ‘Eat.Drink.Blog’, I was beside myself with joy when I received the invitation to be part of the conference. It was a bit like finding the Golden Ticket to the Willy Wonka Factory for me, and after [...]

Some years ago, a few girlfriends and I would make this our get-together place for dinner and chit-chat once a month. I don’t go there quite as often now, but I still love going back there with [...]

Ibuki @ Lonsdale St, Melbourne CBD

You might remember that I raved about Ibuki awhile ago here. Since then, Ibuki has moved from its Bentleigh East location to the CBD. Opening up not one, but two different branches in the city. And like a good food blogger, I booked myself (and some friends) a table at the brand new Ibuki [...]

CNY: Vegetarian Dumplings

5 March 2010

0 Comments

Dumplings aren’t traditionally a Chinese New Year dish. However, I’m listing it under Chinese New Year as this was part of the menu on Chinese New Year day. I love making dumplings. There is something oddly satisfying of standing in the kitchen: stuffing, folding and pleating neat little dumplings. When I started to plan the [...]
