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.

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?

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 [...]

The Book Kitchen, Gnome and Bruschetteria 102, Surry Hills

by jeroxie January 25, 2012

Mister and I visited Book Kitchen on Bourke Street late last year. It is just located opposite Bourke Street Bakery and usually just as packed with the locals during the weekend. There are cookbooks filled in big book shelves and even if you are a lone, you will be entertained by the surrounding books. The coffee is decent and not something that I will come back purposely for.

There is an abundance of cafes in Surry Hills. The queues will usually form outside the popular or good ones. Four Ate Five is one of those that cafes in Surry Hills that an early queue will form not only on weekends but on week days as well.

Black Star Pastry, Newtown

by jeroxie December 14, 2011

Many say that Newtown is the Melbournian part of Sydney. Many say that it is just like Collingwood that stretches for 9.1km. In my opinion, the main road of Newtown which is King Street is nothing like Collingwood. However, the side streets of Newtown and Darlington do have a sense of Melbourne that I love and miss dearly. There are little characteristics like small corner cafes decked out in old and adhoc pieces of furniture and people wheeling or carrying their baskets to Eveleigh farmers market at Carriage Works. But once you enter Carriage Works, there is a realisation that this is Sydney and not Melbourne. Well, this farmers market is dog friendly and no more muddy paws from Tekkie when it rains

Cafe Mint, Surry Hills

by jeroxie November 21, 2011

Great. Really great. Cafes, restaurants, shopping, grocers, hairdressers and even dog salons are all within walking distance. Many may say that Surry Hills is pretentious but we are “fresh from the boat” from Melbourne and so this suburb is perfect for us. I mean how can I say no to Bourke Street Bakery as my local bakery? Seriously.

Yummy yummy Bourke Street Bakery, Surry Hills

by jeroxie November 17, 2011

It’s 10.30am on a Saturday and this is a familiar sight at Bourke Street Bakery in Surry Hills. 10.30am is when the hot foods like lamb sausage rolls and beef pies are fresh out from the oven. The queue can be long but this bakery has the system down packed. Almost everyone in the queue [...]

Daylesford Day One – Wombat Hill House, Peppers Spring Retreat and Kazuki’s

by jeroxie October 18, 2011

Daylesford is one of the first few places that Mister and I visit when we first got together many moons ago. It is also one of the places that we head back for a visit once every couple of years. We are definitely no strangers to its natural beauty. Daylesford and Hepburn Springs area is also known to the Spa country. It has the most number of mineral springs and spas in Australian and the produce and food in this area is equally fabulous.

Revisit – Miss Jackson, St. Kilda

by jeroxie October 11, 2011

I took my mum on a round about car ride to the St. Kilda farmers market. With Mister away, I have been relying on the Tomtom to guide me to places. However with a destination that does not exactly have an actual address, it makes it really difficult. For me. I really regret the times that I am so busy tweeting while Mister and not looking at where he is driving, what roads he uses and all the stuff that drivers are aware of.

L’atelier de Monsieur Truffe, Brunswick

by jeroxie September 25, 2011

I had a rather bad weekend for me recently. It was the same weekend when I made chipotle chicken wings to distract myself from feeling pissed off. I had a stupid fight with @mamajeroxie and so instead of having breakfast together, I took my keys and headed out by myself to chill out. My temper has been quite short lately and take too many things too seriously. I was losing my sense of fun lately.

Nabiha Cafe, Moonee Ponds

by jeroxie September 22, 2011

How well do you know your local and its surrounding cafes or restaurants?

For me, it is a big fat failure. I only learnt about Nabiha Cafe on twitter as I was whinging about the awful coffee that I had at 20 Young Street Cafe. The coffee had a rancid taste and it was burnt! Life is too short for bad coffee. Anyway, @NatStockley mentioned that their coffee is indeed sub standard but serve pretty good sandwiches. I was in no mood for sandwiches after that sip of coffee. But he did offer a tip to check out Nabiha for their coffee.

Duchess of Spotswood, Spotswood

by jeroxie August 16, 2011

The Duchess of Spotswood. With a name like this, it is clear that this cafe is steered towards something a little more English. And with a name like this, you will think it will sit in a rather posh area and not a quiet and plain looking street like Hudsons. The name does not matter to me. It is the food that counts. This place has been receiving raving reviews from many food bloggers. The curiosity finally overcome my laziness and we decided that it might just be worth the effort.

Collingwood – Proud Mary

by jeroxie July 7, 2011

A twitter acquaintance, @wiredjazz, from Sydney was in town. We planned a breakfast/brunch Saturday and then a photo walk around Fitzroy and Collingwood area. It was a perfect plan. Wake up early, catch up at Proud Mary at 10am. Have great coffee, nice big breakfast and then take photos and talk crap the whole afternoon. As many plans, it did not go as plan. There were tiny and very acceptable hiccups.
