My husband and I left our lives in Sydney to go travelling for the rest of 2016. What started as a one month honeymoon has turned into a four month adventure.
Pineapples. The scandalous part of pizzas, the piña to coladas, the shape of many a pool floatie. They are the golden child of the tropical-fruit world, but have you ever experienced a sore mouth from eating them? You’re not the only one.
When you think of Hong Kong, you’d be forgiven for believing that it’s all dumplings, shopping, and delicious mango desserts. While this is all quite true, there is so much more to Honkers than these truly wonderful things.
Most of us are familiar with ramen – the Japanese noodle soup that warms you up while, more often than not, embellishing your shirt with small dots of soupy splashes.But have you met its lighter, summer-friendly cousin, tsukemen?
Oh the “glamour” of flying. Herded like cattle onto the plane, trudging past the smug passengers in Business Class with their fancy flat beds, toward the back where you’re packed like sardines into Economy.
When I go to The Grounds of Alexandria, I feel like I’m in some fancy version of Wonderland. The grounds at, ahem, The Grounds are immaculate—there are stalls full of tasty treats, interesting bits and bobs everywhere you look and colourful characters entertaining guests
While I love getting facials, I find that so many places leave my skin an irritated mess for days (curse you, overly sensitive skin!).
When I found out that Omnilux would do wonders for my skin without angry-pants skin afterward, I wanted in on the action.
I love yoga. Not in an annoying I’m-going-to-talk-about-yoga-all-the-time kind of way. But I like it. It’s challenging and relaxing at the same time, and great for someone like me who’s a desk jockey. Plus don’t get me started on all the fun yoga clothes I can buy “for exercising” in.
We’re not sure what life was like before the existence of cheese, but we’re pretty certain it was fairly grim. Being the cheese enthusiasts we are, we are also firm believers in the fact that most things (including pivotal life moments) are made better with cheese.
The Greeks are known for many wonderful things. These include, but are not limited to, feta, reeeeeally old architecture, weddings of the big and fat variety, and stuffing fries and delicious meats into pitas.
Ahhh, Tokyo. From the hectic streets of Shibuya to the quiet suburban laneways, there’s always something delicious to be consumed. Whether you’re looking to go to some of the world’s best restaurants or to just sample something a little different, you’re in the right place. We hit the streets of Tokyo to find you ten very special places to eat and drink.
It’s pretty exciting when a cool new restaurant opens in Sydney and actually takes bookings. With a new crop of restaurants that not only are creating amazing food but take reservations for (gasp) less than six people, we’re no longer subject to waiting out on the street like suckers or, worse, ordering a drink at a nearby pub, only to have the restaurant call you as you’re taking your first sip.
We don’t care how warm it is, we can work through the sweats when Sydney’s best ramen is involved. These noodly, soupy bowls of goodness are designed to be slurped (in fact, it’s rude not to), so don a dark shirt to avoid obvious ramen splashes, put your hair up to avoid hair-in-broth dramas, and pick up those chopsticks—it’s time to get slurpy!
