For the love of food
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m a little bit obsessed with taking photos of food. On holidays I think I’m even worse because there are just so many new things. After two and a half weeks in Thailand, I learned that we do pretty good Thai food in Australia. They definitely have the presentation down but [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, the only activity that we booked before we left for our honeymoon was a cooking class with Helping Hands Cooking School. My grandma read about it in The Australian the month before and it sounded fantastic. The price was right too. It was just $75AU for the two of us and [...]
This month’s In My Kitchen post is brought to you from our Thailand honeymoon. We didn’t do too much shopping but I did manage to pick up a few little treasures along the way. The first thing in my kitchen is this aqua mini cake stand. I have been looking for something like this for [...]
I’m back! I can’t believe how fast 3 weeks has flown. We had the most amazing honeymoon in Thailand and are back refreshed, a little tanned and with lots of stories to tell. Thank you for all the well-wishes and congratulations. I’ll be sharing lots of wedding photos and honeymoon stories in the next week [...]
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 [...]
