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 [...]

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.

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.

Eating in Surry Hills – Missy K

by jeroxie March 25, 2012

When I was in Melbourne, there was a couple nice local restaurants that we can walk to for dinner. However, we usually had to drive between five to ten minutes either to Flemington or Footscray for more delicious goodness. Moving forward from Melbourne, we are both living in Surry Hills. In my opinion, it is [...]

Eating in Surry Hills – Bangbang Cafe and The Original California Burrito Company

by jeroxie March 20, 2012

There you go, my excuse for a wasted day and a bad hair day. To make up for the lost day, we had a rather heavy breakfast at Bangbang and then followed by a late afternoon snacking at the newly opened California Burrito on Crown Street.

Chat Thai at Sydney CBD & Westfield

by jeroxie March 18, 2012

I am a Chat Thai convert. I have written about Chat Thai a couple of years ago when we were up for a visit. Both Mister and I were a little unimpressed. We did not think that it was worth the never ending hype. But now we love Chat Thai and even @mamajeroxie has become [...]

Three Blue Ducks, Bronte

by jeroxie March 4, 2012

Three Blue Ducks seems to be a really popular breakfast, brunch and lunch cafe in Bronte. I have read on blogs and on twitter that this cafe can get packed out quite quickly. I guess it must be true since it is the winner of the 2011 Sydney Herald’s Sun Best Breakfast Cafe award.

Kitchen by Mike, Rosebery

by jeroxie February 21, 2012

I can’t recall where I first heard of Kitchen by Mike. But if I am to make a wild guess, it will have to be twitter. It is usually my source of where to go and eat and play. It has relevance and I trust the twerps in giving me the right suggestions. What about you? What and where is your source of information? Anyway, Kitchen by Mike is in Rosebery which is about 10 minutes drive. We got out our trusted GPS and away we went. We were unsure when the GPS said “You have arrived at your destination.” Really? So secluded? Where is this place? Is this really 85, Dunning Avenue?

Cafe Sopra, Waterloo Street

by jeroxie February 16, 2012

This week I am heading out of Surry Hills comfort and into a closeby suburb, Waterloo. It is approximately twenty minutes walk from our place and it is interesting to note the difference in changes from one suburb to another and then another. We move from hipster land to something rough and then to something more new? Waterloo has lot more apartments and new developments. Dank Street itself seems pretty hip as well and is dotted with few nice cafes and bakeries. However, I am keen to check out St. Jude in Redfern next. Have you been?

Jazz City Diner, Darlinghurst

by jeroxie February 9, 2012

“What should I have for dinner tonight? Nothing fancy please.” This was my call out on twitter one Friday night and Jazz City Diner was one of the suggestions. Fried chicken on waffles won over sushi for dinner. This little New Orleans themed diner is opened by Dan McGuirt, ex-chef of Vue De Monde. I was told that the initial menu contained foam type dishes but it seemed that most people were and are still attracted by burgers and fried chicken.

Reuben Hills, Surry Hills

by jeroxie February 1, 2012

Another week and another cafe in Surry Hills. This time it’s Reuben Hills on Albion Street. The way this cafe is fitted out is so Melbourne-like. It has a long and narrow industrial looking space that opens up at the back. A big share table sits in the middle of the back bit and low [...]

Snapshot of so much eating in Singapore

by jeroxie January 29, 2012

I will be kidding myself if I say that I will report and blog about every single place that I ate in the last trip to Singapore. Too much eating and in that sweltering heat, too much walking. Therefore, no weight was gained but a lot of pleasure was gained. For my benefit and benefit [...]
