Slow cook red wine lamb with fig and aromatic basmati rice

by jeroxie May 10, 2012

There has been a couple slow cook dishes from me lately. Can’t blame me since the weather has turned and winter is just round the corner. I always love autumn and in Sydney, it is even better. The weather has been beautiful for the last couple of weeks and this week itself has been sitting at around the early 20s with clear blue skies. I just wished that there was more time outdoors than late nights at work.

I made it. I unplugged for 24 hours.

by jeroxie May 8, 2012

Sponsored by Nuffnang Remember my previous post about the challenge to unplug for 24 hours? Well, I DID IT! To be honest, I was dreading the moment that I had to get offline. My iPhone was on airplane mode before bedtime and I waited till the very last minute before I shut my laptop and [...]

Chickpeas and smoked cod patties

by jeroxie May 3, 2012

I love making fish patties with potatoes. As part of a competition to win a table for four at Marque, I was sent a mystery box and one of the few items were chickpeas and fresh mint. I shall share the rest of the items in another post. I chose to do Middle Eastern inspired dishes and this is my entree entry. My initial plan was to make a fully spiced up and aromatic chickpeas patty but after a trip to the Sydney fish market, I changed my mind. I love working with anything smoked. It gives a dish a rather down to earth type feel.

Slow cooker beef short ribs

by jeroxie May 1, 2012

If I was still in Melbourne, the scarfs, thick jackets and beanies will be out from storage. I am still really nice and comfy in T-shirts and a light jumper in Sydney. But the weather is gradually starting to turn. I can finally wear jeans out in comfort and wearing thongs out to the shops makes my toes cringe. This means it is time for more slow cooking and comfort food.

Dan’s House, Haymarket

by jeroxie April 29, 2012

Dan’s House is now officially opened. It is located on George Street in Haymarket. This modern Chinese restaurant is dressed in silver, gold and white bling on the first level and in darker tones and blues on the second level. The first level is more family oriented and I love the natural light that floods into the space. The second level is more catered to the evening crowd with a bar upstairs as well as a private room with a personal karaoke set!

Marrickville Pork Roll

by jeroxie April 26, 2012

We have yet to find a nice and decent pho place around our area but have definitely stumbled upon one of the best banh mi in both Sydney and Melbourne. It’s a big call and the decision might be based on our desperation to find decent Vietnamese eateries and meals close by. We first heard [...]

SBS Featured Foodie interview, a birthday cake and a couple of ideas

by jeroxie April 23, 2012

A couple of months ago, I received an email “Please let me know if you are interested in becoming an SBS Featured Foodie……. And I said YES! It did take me more than a few weeks to get back to them with my answers. Work has been seriously busy and I am not very good at talking [...]

Donut or Doughnut? Baked not fried

by jeroxie April 19, 2012

I am not big on donuts. I remember a few years ago when Krispy Creme was a craze. Colleagues that flew back from Sydney were ordered to fly back with boxes of Krispy Creme. I remember how many ex-colleagues will then microwave it for about 15secs so that the sugar will melt and it soften the donut. I was never a fan and many thought what a strange girl I was.

First Visit – Cabramatta

by jeroxie April 17, 2012

First stop – Thu Phung N. Best sugarcane juice in town! $2 for a small and $3 for a large. We have to pay $5 in Melbourne and I remember how it used to be $8 and it is usually filled up with ice and more ice. Oh! Apparently, they grow their own sugarcane? There is a handwritten sign in front of the shop. I can’t wait to head back to Cabramatta and this will definitely be my first and last stop.

Kellogg’s All Bran Toppers

by jeroxie April 15, 2012

It has been awhile since my mum and I embarked on the All-Bran Fibre Toppers challenge. Do we feel lighter? Do we feel All-Bran new? LOL! My mum is a big lover of all things that has fibre. She keeps harping on about the older she gets, the more important fibre is to her digestive health. She is big on fruits, vegetables and plenty of water. My mum has added All-Bran Fibre Toppers into either her dose of yoghurt or the oatmeal that I had made. She is getting a few boxes and taking them back to Singapore with her.

Momofuku Seiobo

by jeroxie April 12, 2012

I do consider myself quite a lucky girl. Not many can say that they have eaten at 2 Momofuku joint. The first was the infamous Momofuku Ko in New York City when we were travelling last year. There was a few amazing dishes that still make me smile when I think of them. Any form of photography was not allowed at Momofuku Ko and so the blog post was just text. I really wish I could take the photos for remembrance but I guess it made me want to remember the taste more because I can’t take the photos. Hope I am making sense.

Eating in Surry Hills – Sushi Suma

by jeroxie April 8, 2012

More local eating. Sushi Sumo is recommended by a fellow colleague that lives around the area. It was recommended for a cheap night out and not to impress your date. Sushi Sumo is located on Cleveland Street. This street is dotted with a fair selection of Indian cuisine. I am not a big fan of Indian or Pakistani food but will most likely pick one or two to check out in the next few months. There is one Indian restaurant called Holy Cow! It seemed packed out whereas the rest are only half filled. I will need to chuck on the old research cap and not based on one observation on a Friday night.

Chorizo, pork sausage and chicken paella

by jeroxie April 5, 2012

I always wear a big grin on my face after a good haul from a trip at the Eveleigh farmers market. Or any farmers market. However, that particular weekend I was extra happy. The market was filled with a huge selection of really good produce. I had to stop myself from buying from every stall. I even bought yummy turkey flavoured dog cookies for @tekkieboy. It was a good market day.
