We were invited to taste and photograph the experience of Vivid Sydney at O’Bar and Dining on Level 47, Australia Square, 264 George St, Sydney last Friday night, one of the few places in Sydney where you can dine with a revolving 360 degree view of the City of Sydney … and the food quality is…

Sydney Chocolate Ball 2016 :: FSHD Global Research Foundation
Who would’ve thought raising money for a charity could be so much fun! I was invited to the Seventh Annual Sydney Chocoloate Ball run by the FSHD Global Research Foundation last Saturday evening at The Star Event Centre in Sydney. This event wasn’t only about raising money but it was about giving guests a spectacular…
Four Seasons Hotel Sydney :: New Events Catering Unveiled
There has been a lot of big events happening in Sydney lately so there has been a little bit of a time lag on this post. I was invited to a VIP dinner event by the Four Seasons Hotel Sydney, which unveiled their new events catering concept two weeks ago. I think one of the…
Manta Restaurant and Bar :: Express Business Lunch
Woolloomooloo is one of the most appealing spots to dine in Sydney I think, especially on a gorgeous, warm sunny Autumn Friday. You get better value dining at lunchtime so you can soak in the beautiful water views, sit by the sidewalk and just ‘people watch’. You may bump into a few familiar faces along…
117 dining at Intercontinental Sydney
Have you ever watched how an octopus eats a lobster or a crab? You tube it… it’s like watching a horror movie. Anyway the reason for telling you is that one of the exquisite starters cooked up by Chef Luke Fernley of 117 dining at the Intercontinental Sydney is one of the best type of…
Grain Bar Cured and Caviar Pairing Experience
I am an amateur when it comes to spirits matching and the Cured and Caviar pairing menu at Grain Bar in the Four Seasons Sydney Hotel was as much an educational as it was a gastronomical experience for me. I met Grain Bar’s Bar Manager, Alexandra Dahlenburg and had a chat with her to learn more…
Turandot with Opera Australia: Food & Opera experience
I must admit I’m a late comer when it comes to appreciating opera stage performance. Unlike musical theatre, when opera is sung in Italian I don’t understand it. But these days, there are subtitles so your eyes will look over at the subtitles, then back at the performers and the stage so you can grasp…
Dining at Sea: A Taste Onboard the Celebrity Solstice
If I only had three hours onboard the Celebrity Solstice there would only be one thing I would choose to do on this colossal ship as a foodie and that is to dine at one of their 10 speciality restaurants … the second would be to kick off my shoes, wiggle my toes on the soft…
Recipe: Barilla Pappardelle with White Fish, Chick Peas and Arrabbiata Sauce
I tried another one of Barilla’s recipes tonight using their Pappardelle all’Uovo which cooks in 7 minutes. The Pappardelle all’Uovo is a pasta with the largest shape available amongst traditional egg-based pastas. The pasta style originates from Tuscany and is used in many traditional Italian dishes. Like the tagliatelle I tried it has just below 30%…
Ceru brings Levantine flavours to Sydney
I’m lucky to be living in a country so rich and open to different cultures and with that, comes an opportunity to taste new dishes, sprinkled with a chef’s flair of creativity to create traditional cultural blends of explosive flavours, modernised for the Australian appetite for the fresh crunch that will make you crave for…
