For the love of food
The ‘where the bloody hell are you?’ campaign was not one of Queensland Tourism’s finest moments. I certainly wouldn’t be rushing to a place that spoke to me like that but when Singapore now tells me to ‘get lost’ I’m surprisingly intrigued. Their latest tourism campaign is all about losing yourself in the sights, the [...]
A few months ago I stumbled across Inquiring Chef. Jessica blogs about her food adventures in Thailand and all her wonderful little trips around Asia. Her photography is amazing (maybe one day I’ll get that good) and recipes delicious. Today I’m lucky enough to have her here to share a recipe that she developed herself. [...]
While I only had 27 hours in Singapore I did manage to pack in quite a lot of eating. I think tasting the food of a country is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture (or that might be an excuse to eat lots). As I mentioned in Wednesday’s post, after dinner we [...]
On the last day of our Asian holiday, we arrived in Singapore in the late afternoon. Our flight home to Brisbane departed at 9.30pm the next day and I was determined to pack as much into the 27 hours we had as possible. I was a little disorganised and hadn’t actually made a plan but [...]
I wasn’t sure what to expect of Shanghai. Knowing nothing about the city except its massive population, the only things I did expect were for it to be a bit chaotic and very very busy. I was right with my prediction of mild chaos, their roads are rather different to ours. I nearly got run [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, as well as relaxing and sight-seeing, there was a lot of food involved in our recent holiday. It’s only natural that I had to hunt down the best dumplings in Shanghai while we were there. Now unfortunately (I shall explain soon) we didn’t have all that long in China so [...]
I’m back! I apologise for the lack of posts in the last two weeks but we have been holidaying in Asia. We went to Shanghai in China, Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi in Malaysia, Bintan in Indonesia and had a quick visit to Singapore at the end of the trip. We did lots of touring, eating, [...]
Half-way through our Fiji trip, my sister and I took a tour to the local school. It was an absolutely fascinating experience. The kids were rather unphased by our presence but it could have been because 3pm – 3.30pm (when we were there) is clean up time. That’s right, there are no cleaners or groundsmen [...]
I’m only just learning the ins and outs of my camera but this is the best photo I’ve taken so far (in my opinion). You can even see the stars in the sky!
When I said that I ate well in Fiji I was not exaggerating. There was a new menu for every lunch and dinner with a choice of 3 entrees, mains and desserts and of course I indulged in every course at every meal. I even balanced it out with a three-course breakfast of fruit, cereal [...]
The first time I tried Kokoda I didn’t actually know what I was eating until I decided I liked it. Had I known that I was eating practically raw fish I probably wouldn’t have touched it but once I had a bite I was hooked. Its cold, fresh flavours make it the perfect summer starter [...]
Bula! While Claire K Creations has been posting away all week I’ve actually been relaxing in the glorious sunshine in Fiji! We’re taking a family vacation for dad’s 60th and having a wonderful time. The resort is magnificent and the food is fantastic especially the beautiful desserts, which they even have with lunch. Of course [...]
