Buenos Aires Food Diary: El Preferido de Palermo

Posted on 28 December 2016 by andyq

So, food blogging while abroad… It’s interesting to see which websites have a presence in which countries. Zomato, my preferred restaurant review site, doesn’t cover Argentina, so I’ve posted a few reviews up on Yelp. Yelp doesn’t cover Uruguay, so … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: My Duo Pie Chain, Ultimo

Posted on 12 December 2016 by andyq

My assumption is that ‘chain’ meant that this is a chain of snackeries from somewhere in the world. I asked the guy behind the counter where the chain was from, and he said ‘China’. But since I can’t find anything … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Jarern Chai Boon Cafe

Posted on 12 December 2016 by andyq

The idea of a cool fusion Thai cafe in the middle of an excellent Thai grocery store is pretty appealing; when the folks bringing it to you are Chat Thai, that’s even better. I think that’s the reason why I … Continue reading →

Posted on 6 December 2016 by andyq

Let’s take a little step back to May to report on an interesting ‘neo-bistro’ in the 11th, right around the corner from the last AirBNB we stayed in Paris near Bastille. I am a sucker for NYT food reviews, and … Continue reading →

Coffee in Sydney: The Reformatory Caffeine LAB, Surry Hills

Posted on 6 December 2016 by andyq

I pretend to know something about coffee, but it’s basically a visceral experience for me. Most coffee in Sydney is delicious. Occasionally, something about the flavour or temperature will make me think, ‘This is a really good coffee’. Sometimes, there’s … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Cape Comorin, Cremorne

Posted on 5 December 2016 by andyq

Basic, tasty Indian food. We were on the way to see the worst movie ever made (‘The Room’) at the Orpheum and needed somewhere to eat. There are quite a few restaurants on that strip of Military Road, so we … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: The Local Bar, CBD

Posted on 4 December 2016 by andyq

My stars! Up and down. I think there’s a certain amount of wit about calling a restaurant, ‘The Local’, especially when rather than referring to your neighbourhood pub, it’s a restaurant in the courtyard of the enormous 161 Castlereagh Street, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Automata, Chippendale

Posted on 4 December 2016 by andyq

We were definitely sold on this hot, new restaurant. Automata’s been on my hit list for a while. I’d read about it before it opened… and then good reviews after it opened. It’s just taken me a while to get … Continue reading →

Reopening in the courtyard: fiesta! Guzman y Gomez celebrated its 10th birthday on Wednesday night with a move on its Australia Square location from inside the Food Court to outside in the courtyard. It’s a perfect location really. This place … Continue reading →

Posted on 1 December 2016 by andyq

Australia’s only Cypriot food… authentic, farm to table and homemade ingredients. There’s something really interesting happening at Kerasma Souvlaki Merchant in Newtown. My friend and I were shouted to a special meal there by Peter, and we discussed it afterwards. … Continue reading →
