tummy rumbles is taking a bit of a break - in Japan and Singapore!
We may try to post a few from the road, but to be honest there may not be too much time for that. But keep your eyes peeled for our return in Early November - there will be a plethora of gastronomic [...]
Just like a mentos, only milky and without the hard candy coating, Doctor Cow is also delightfully “no sticky” (sic). This product comes from the Guangdong province in China, which is a long way from where it will finally be consumed. Hmm, makes me wonder about the food miles this cheap packet of [...]
Inspired by the tonic of the same name in Al Capp’s comic strip Li’l Abner, this amusingly titled soft drink, Kickapoo Joy Juice, is an interesting bevvy (more so in name than taste). I am not one for carbonated soda, but I just had to give it a try. Hmm…Mountain Dew-ish, lemonade-ish…and no [...]
Looks like one of my photos got an honorable mention in the August edition of DMBLGiT (Does My Blog Look Good in This?) event as hosted by ToastPoint. Apparently my “whimsically titled ‘Blood Orange which is just about to be turned into a Blood Orange Rosemary Marmalade’ was a crisp, sharp shot [...]

Las Chicas doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. The food is hearty, the atmosphere grungy / funky / comfortable and the front of house staff genuinely friendly. The shop runs long and thin parallel to Balaclava train station, so if you can’t squeeze onto a table inside, [...]
Epicure recently put out a call to readers to submit a two hundred word review of a Melbourne dining experience. So I did, and I got in! Woo hoo! You can view a larger image of my review here.
The Elegant Gourmand (whom I am so very lucky to be dating) also had a [...]
I thought I’d play around with a couple of biscuit recipes in preparation for the big Christmas bake-off. This adapted Bill Granger recipe is perfect. The flavours allude to all those well-remembered festive tastes - brandy, zesty orange and warm spices. It would be absolutely perfect with an eggy nog, but a cup [...]
Cantuccini (or cantucci / biscotti) are a twice-baked Italian biscuit that are crunchily delicious and the perfect accompaniment to a deep dark shot of espresso (sans sugar). You could of course dunk them into tea - but it is hardly the same thing. Vin Santo is also a good alcoholic dipping option - [...]
I am all about the balance in life. I steadfastly uphold the virtues of equality, fairness and justice for all. So how could I blog those wonderful jam doughnuts from the Queen Vic, and not do likewise with their equally famous cousins on the other side of the market, the Churros, or Spanish style [...]
I’ve been tagged by Haalo over at Cook (Almost) Anything at Least Once and Ange from Vicious Ange to attempt the Five Things To Eat Before You Die meme. My apologies for the tardiness of my reply - but this is a bloody hard list to compile!! Obviously this is by [...]
