Standing in line at the packed-to-the-rafters Pacific BBQ Cafe, we felt like Elaine in the 1992 Seinfeld episode “The Suicide“. After fasting for 3 days for a medical test, she deliriously exclaimed at the hospital, “But here it was: mountains of duck, and not Fatty duck either, but juicy [...]

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.

Matt Preston’s review of Dainty Sichuan in Epicure yesterday prompted me to post my views on this popular little eatery, which EG first experienced back in August. Since then we’ve been back a number of times, dragging parents, friends and just ourselves along for some chilli madness. To be perfectly [...]

Everyone needs a cheap and cheerful neighbourhood takeaway joint for when you can’t be bothered cooking or when the pantry is stone motherless bare. Takeaway is sometimes lacking for us CBD residents, who miss out on the great suburban staples of quality pizza joints and fish and chippers. [...]

I have a love-hate relationship with spicy foods. I absolutely love the flavour and taste of chilli, curry, peppercorns, wasabi etc but my weak stomach so hates the after effects. There have been several occasions where I was really floored by such fiery treats, but three stand out from memory. [...]

One of my absolute favourite seafoods is lobster, and one of the best ways to have this delectable crustacean is the method used by the Cantonese - lobster stir fried with copious amounts of ginger, spring onion and wispy strands of thin egg noodles. Known as Long Har Meen [...]

I have developed a bit of an addiction to bubble tea of late. And this particular version at InfoBooth has my vote as one of my favourites. Not only is it smooth, creamy, full bodied and amazingly flavoursome (the black tea flavour anyway), [...]

Yum cha is the Chinese version of brunch, consisting of smallish meals/snacks (dim sum) that are served with tea. There are many forms and variations, but essentially the food comes out in steamer baskets or plates that are designed for sharing. It is tradition to partake in this [...]

After our yum cha at Shark Fin House, how can one not swing by Maxim’s for an egg tart? Touted as Melbourne’s best (…well it says so in the window so it must be true), well, I have to admit they do taste rather good. [...]

People interested in food often have a sixth sense when it comes to finding good tucker. Wandering around Sydney Chinatown my eye was drawn to a second storey window and an inconspicuous sign denoting “food court”. I pointed up, EG grinned and said “Let’s [...]
