Tokyo, Japan Part 2

Our last days in Tokyo were filled with random eats and possibly the best ramen in Tokyo!

Hello from NYC #4 – Gastropubbing in Chicago, London and NY

Yes, I’m still alive, just been MIA for a little while. But now I’m back! And I start my year with a post on the Evolution of Gastropubs in Chicago, London and New York City.

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!

Kazbah on Darling, Balmain (Round 2)

I said I’d like to come back to try out more things on the menu, but I didn’t realise just how soon we would be back!

With the constant fantastic food that always seems to find its way into my stomach, the lack of exercise and a thin wallet, it seemed unlikely that we would have a big breakfast any time soon. Unlikely, but I guess not improbable… hence our fattiness on a sunny, but chilly Saturday morning.

Kazbah on Darling, Balmain

As we turned up without a reservation on a supremely busy Sunday morning, the next available timeslot for us was about an hour. We were about to decline the booking when an awesome looking dish went by and we simultaneously asked the waiter to book it in for us.

Megalong Tea Rooms, Blue Mountains

After a long day walking it was a relief to be able to kick back with some good food, good views and a good coffee. The food at Megalong tea room is honest and home made style rather than modern cafe style which you expect back in Sydney. As a result, it’s a great throwback to what country style food could be like. If I’m in the area, I’ll definitely come back as this sort of comfort food is exactly what you need after a long walk in the bush.

Fleur’s Place, Moeraki, New Zealand

Fleur’s Place is perched at the far end of Moeraki, and even the official website has the address as ‘At the Old Jetty’. We ended up driving around Moeraki twice before realising that we’d been staring at the restaurant all along, which in the end is exactly what Fleur wanted to create, a restaurant that didn’t jar with its settings.
