Sydney Food Diary: BCD Tofu House, Epping

Posted on 20 September 2019 by andyq

It’s not like we get to Epping very often. But someone on Gumtree was selling some Krosno glasses that I hoped would complete our set, and they’ve stopped selling them at Myers. They were the right model but … shrunk. … Continue reading →
