F and I were invited by Michael and his girlfriend, Deb, to a dine with them and a few friends at an authentic Brazilian restaurant. Only knowing about the Brazilian restaurants that offer barbecued meat on skewers, I thought this restaurant was of the same.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the menu – it wasn’t just all barbecued meats. In fact there were a whole variety of dishes that seemed like it would pique the taste buds.

Yay Masterchef is back! With the return of masterchef, means the return of baking crazy desserts, desserts which takes way too long to bake and complete, but tastes so damn good that it made all the blood sweat and tears worthwhile. Last week’s Celebrity chef challenge saw 20 year old Callum, pitted against one of Australia’s most popular pastry chef, Phillipa Silby Head Pasty chef of Circa the Prince in Melbourne.

Ever since a few of my friends and I had dinner at Souk in the City (what seems like) eons ago, M’s developed a soft spot for Moroccan cuisine. It’s not surprising then that she decided to have a big group dinner at a Moroccan (slash Egyptian) restaurant for her birthday.

On my way to and from F’s home, I always pass this one restaurant that is always packed. Due to a series of unfortunate events (I got stood up by Minh haha), F and I fortunately got to finally visit this mysteriously frequented restaurant.

I have to admit, I’m a little bit obsessed with the DBC, these days my favourite day of the month is the 1st. It is on the 1st of every month, a new challenge is revealed. The April 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Esther of The Lilac Kitchen. She challenged everyone to make a traditional British pudding.

With Masterchef back on screen now, Billy, Ellie and myself organised a “cook off” with a twist, where a group of bloggers were invited to cook a dish each. However, this was not like any other cook off, it was ” The Battle Royale Cook off.”
Jas My Waffles, Rooty Hill Posted in Dessert, Sydney, West on 5 April 2010

Jas My Waffles is a husband-and-wife operation with pretty friendly service and serves waffles in quite a few different forms and sizes. From what I saw, they also serve normal-styled waffles, generously accompanied with fruit, chocolate, or whatever combination the proprietor, Jaspher De Leon, has dreamt up.

I think it was around December that I heard a little fleeting teaser that Taste of Sydney will be on.. soon. Last year’s Taste was so much fun, so I was pretty excited. How excited? As soon as I found out the menu was online, F and I had worked out what to order in a matter of mere minutes and mushed our choices together for an epic mini-gastronomic adventure. And this was about two weeks before our Saturday session haha.
Restaurant Balzac, Randwick Posted in Degustation, Dessert, English, French, Sydney, East on 12 March 2010

Restaurant Balzac was busily buzzing on a Sunday night, with all of their tables on the ground floor full of customers and most of the tables on the first floor filled. I think it’s a testament to the great food served here by courteous and attentive wait staff.
This particular degustation was a special seasonal degustation that is available only on the last Sunday of each month.

As you may recall in my previous post, F was super bored and picked out 3 restaurants to visit so as to make full use of my Entertainment Card. This was the second restaurant on his list.
We were given what seemed to be A3-sized menus (they were huge!) and spent some time trying to decide which set to order. We found that we couldn’t resist the extra dishes in the Fine Bouche degustation.
Foveaux Restaurant and Bar, Surry Hills Posted in Dessert, Dinner, European, Sydney, Surry Hills on 25 February 2010

The quietly elegant decor of Foveaux hides a place full of surprises and firsts, for us anyway. I never imagined that I would ever eat heart or like black pudding, but I did and even enjoyed it, revelling in its flavours. I really like how Foveaux’s head chef, Darrell Felstead, pushes the boundaries with his dishes, challenging us diners to try something different.

If there’s something I can’t resist its ice cream. No matter what the weather is like ice cream is inevitably on my mind. This appears to be so ingrained in my personality that on a recent est get-together not a single one of the team members blinked when I admitted I’d gone to eat ice-cream before meeting up for dinner.
