Morning cocktail class at Helm Bar, Darling Harbour

by jeroxie April 2, 2012

It was a beautiful Autumn day in Sydney. I took a leisurely walk to the Darling Harbour and on the way, I could not help myself but photographed bits of the experience . I love the shades of blues and whites of that autumn Saturday. It felt very nautical and at the same time, a sense of freedom and peace. I like sitting on the wooden planked stairs. It was relaxing and somewhat, inspirational. And in days like these, it makes me miss Melbourne a little lesser.

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 [...]

What is Ice Magic?

by jeroxie March 15, 2012

Sponsored by Nuffnang It was a perfect weekend to eat ice cream and play with ice. After a couple of weeks of undesirable weather, the blue skies have returned to Sydney. When I was asked to do a post on Ice Magic, I thought why not? Even if creativity is not my forte, it was [...]

Whether you like it or not, Bill Granger is one of Australia’s famous culinary export. I had brunch at Bill’s in my first visit to Sydney and really enjoyed the ricotta pancake.He was actually sitting next to me and I said NOTHING. I will probably never bump into him again as he is busy promoting [...]

Oatmeal with dried pears, nuts and All-Bran Fibre Toppers

by jeroxie March 5, 2012

I usually eat loads of vegetables and fruits. However, I tend to skip breakfast on weekdays as therefore am lacking in intake on whole grains or brown rice. I am not even sure if I am lacking in my fibre intake. Therefore, I agreed to take part in this 7 day challenge set by newly launched All Bran Fibre Toppers. The challenge is to have at least one meal a day with All-Bran Toppers for the next 7 days. Sounds easy? By the way, I am roping my mum in this challenge. She is more matured and therefore has a need for more fibre. I like to know what she thinks after 7 days as well.

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.

Chocolate Sorbet

by jeroxie February 26, 2012

It was one of those weekends that Mister, @tekkieboy and myself took a nice stroll down to Darlinghurst. There was no other intention other than checking out new places to eat, drink and be merry. It was quite a warm day as well and it was mutual understanding when we strolled past Messina. We stopped, [...]

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?
