That’s right. Jelly. Beer jelly. WTF?
You can find this little travesty at Breadtop in QV for $2.20. And yes, I did buy one.
Errr…umm…it is…definitely beer jelly. In fact, it tastes pretty much like a VB or Carlton Draught with just a little added sweetness to temper the bitterness. The frothy head was a little weird [...]

Looky looky at what I found.
Is this the sister of the famous Pacific Seafood BBQ House? If so, I can’t wait for some kickarse lunchtime BBQ duck and pork action.
The place is still under construction, but I’ll be sure to post my observations soon.

I have developed a bit of a taste for Singaporean fare of late, especially as it is such a melting pot of Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Indian, Mamak, Tamil and Peranakan cultures (have I missed anyone?). Yes, the fact that EG and his family hail from the island definitely contribute [...]

Vora Cafe is an unusual little Korean place that sits quietly and without much fuss on Hardware Street. EG and I had walked past it many times but had never felt drawn in. To be honest, if often looked quite dead. From the street you look through the front [...]
EG spotted some new Japanese Kit Kat flavours when we were in the Great Eastern Grocer (185 Russell St, Mebourne) the other day. His eye for such things is ever so attuned after our recent hunt in trip to Japan (read here and here). These deluxe versions are a little different. For starters they [...]
The big ticket drawcard at Tsukiji Market in Tokyo is of course the fresh tuna auction (read about my experience of the frozen tuna auction here). This is where tens of thousands of dollars are spent on pristine specimens of bluefin, southern bluefin, bigeye and yellowfin tuna. Considering Japan is the world’s largest consumer of [...]
Gnocchi di patate, or potato gnocchi, has long been a favourite of our family. It was one of those special event dishes pulled out at birthdays, Christmas, Easter and so on, which was just about one of the only times when you could justify the time needed to make the dish. Our family gatherings were [...]
Stall Number 1, Satay Alley
Lau Pa Sat, Boon Tan Street, Singapore
The deliciously named Fat Man Satay is a veritable institution as far as satay is concerned in Singapore. It occupies the esteemed stall holder number 1 position in Satay Alley at the Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre. And if the touts don’t draw you [...]
I don’t often delve into ranting on this blog, but lately something has really jacked me off. So what got me so irritated? Well it is surly, sulky waitstaff. What is it with all the bad attitude of late?
I was in Mr.Tulks the other day, which has always held a bit of [...]
