American
The Eathouse Diner, Redfern
We’ve arranged to meet at The Eathouse Diner, an American style diner that looks as though it could have been plucked from any decade from the 40′s to the 70′s. A short bus ride in from the city finds us at the vibrantly painted entrance of the restaurant, the interior is decked out with a sexily curved bar with chalk drink and food menus.
Hello From NYC #3 – The Short and Sweet List
The past few NYC posts have been rather long, so this time I’m shortening it! Less photos, more eateries! Here I am writing short features for different categories of eateries. As these places are ones I’ve found on-the-go, I had to use my iphone to take pictures, unless I had my camera with me that day.
Hello from NYC #2 – My Food Trail
So for the past few months, I have been hard at work eating my heart out. Luckily I don’t own scales so I cannot say whether my body size has been affected by this, but I’m pretty sure it has. That’s one thing to watch out in NYC… the heaviness of the food!
The Juicy Lucy Burger Experiment
After watching the Man v Food Minneapolis episode, F could not get the Juicy Lucy burger out of his mind. Not being able to travel to Minneapolis to try the burger, he did the next best thing: plot and plan on how to reconstruct it.
Pecan pie with rolled oats crust
Since my last blog, besides the monthly Daring Baker’s Challenges, I’ve been quite busy with work, going overseas, spending time with friends before they move overseas, and playing/teaching my puppy new tricks. I purchased Max as a Birthday gift for myself, I know it’s quite strange, but just within the week that I’ve had him, he has filled my days with so much joy and happiness. On a side note, here is a Pecan pie recipe with a twist.
South Restaurant, Neutral Bay
Little did I know, my interest of the Southern cuisine started early watching American movies where people would order Pecan Pie or Cobbler from their local diner. Though it wasn’t until I watched Tropic Thunder, particularly Robert Downy Jr’s role as Kirk Lazarus (a white American Actor playing an African American Soldier), that cinched the deal to take on the the flavours of the south with his remarks about ‘cornbread’ and ‘crawfish’.
Moo Gourmet Burgers, Coogee
A few months ago, Sam told me about Moo Gourmet Burgers (rather it was his exclamations of “duck and bacon burger!!! BBQ PORK BELLY BURGER!!!” that got my attention) and ever since then, I became obsessed with them. It wasn’t until the end of December that I actually got to eat it and boy, I wasn’t disappointed. So good was my first experience that F and I actually went there not twice but three times (four for him) during the space of 3 weeks.
