Xmas Lights-London

Last week saw me in London for a few days. No matter how many times I visit, I always enjoy my stay in this grand city. It was nice to throw on an overcoat, scarf and hat and wander around soaking all the Xmas atmosphere. (although if you live in Sydney at the moment, you’ll notice we’re not too far off wearing our winter woollies!…so much for whinging about early [...]

It’s great to be posting pics again for this “Photo Friday” feature.  These shots were taken on a recent trip to Singapore.  When you have views like these you kind of get obsessed about taking

My apologies for not getting out some recipes this week.  I have been incredibly busy photographing for a few projects and time just slipped by.  Last time,

Fried chicken anyone? This image was taken on the streets of Bangkok. One of my favourite cities. Oh how I miss

London-Westminster and The Borough Markets

Where does one even begin to talk about a city like London? Like New York it has a multitude of things to do, places to eat and see. I’m going to primarily focus on some captures I took whilst I was in the Westminster area recently. Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye are just some of the attractions you will find in this highly historical part [...]

Eating Out in Hong Kong

When I last blogged about Hong Kong I wrote about the many eating options available on this vibrant, busy island. Cheap and cheerful, high end dining or yum cha (dim sum)-the options are endless. As I explained before, Kowloon is my favourite part of Hong Kong. It’s busy, “in your face”

Hong Kong & Yum Cha

To call Hong Kong busy would be an understatement. The everyday hustle and bustle of this Asian Metropolis is, in my opinion, best described as manic. If you’re used to the madness of living in a large city you probably won’t mind.  If however you’re a first time

Glimpses of New York

When you have very limited time in an iconic destination, such as New York city what do you do?  You go non-stop! It had been a little over six years since my last visit and let’s just say that it didn’t disappoint.  I tried to cram in as much as I could in less than 24 hours.  I know some of you actually live here and for that I envy [...]

After my “little” adventure in Tokyo I made sure I rested before I made my way back to Australia.   Part of my relaxation included exploring the airport town of Narita.  Narita is a “quaint” little town and the site of Narita International Airport- gateway to the greater Tokyo area.  If you have a few hours to kill in transit, it’s a fantastic place to whet the appetite and obtain a [...]

This is the first image that greeted me as I got off  at Akihabara station in Tokyo, Japan.  It was 40 degrees Celsius in mid August when I decided that I would finally attempt to make a day trip into Tokyo.  I had been meaning to do this a number of times, and of course I chose the hottest day of the year to embark on my journey!  (What on earth [...]

After a “few too many” wine samples at Martinborough, John, Bryn and myself find ourselves in the quaint, picturesque village of Greytown.  The main street is a hive of activity. Here you’ll find antique stores selling lots of props and goodies, cute little cafes

Wine Tasting @ Muirlea Rise-Martinborough

When it comes to wine, I’ve always believed it to be a personal choice.  No-one can tell you what is a “good choice” or a “better drop”.  Everyone has their own opinions.  I have friends who really enjoy sauvignon blanc blends and madly drink them on a regular basis.  My personal preference is for bolder

Wellington on a Plate-New Zealand

I’m ashamed to admit that in all the time I’ve been travelling to New Zealand, I had never been to Wellington.  I may be a little late to the party but I think I certainly made up for it with my recent visit there.  Myself and three other food bloggers made our way “across the pond” as we

After the excitement of holidaying in Thailand, our group vowed to get together again and enjoy another getaway-this time somewhere a little closer to home.  After a few months of planning we settled on a weekend away on the “South Coast” of NSW.  This post is a little late in the making…I mean this happened in January!!!  Nonetheless, I’m here to indulge you with a few words
