This year, the Good Food and Wine Show was a buzz for me because I not only get to explore the show (again) and try new things I didn’t get to try last year – I also got to meet a truckload of fellow food bloggers thanks to an exclusive blogger-only briefing and sneak preview of this year’s show. We were welcomed by exhibition director James Lang, as well as ABC Celebrity Chef and former MasterChef contestant Poh Ling Yeow. Our little “tour” began with some Mini Turkey Burgers tasting. It was a crazy rush as all the food bloggers … Continue reading Part 4: Good Food and Wine Show Melbourne 2011 Final Recap

Allen’s cooking demo was a lot more organised compared to Adam Liaw’s demonstration on the previous day. Not only did they … Continue reading Malaysia Kitchen @ GFWS (Part 2: Allen Woo from LaksaMe Cooking Demonstration)

Over the weekend, I went to the Good Food and Wine Show (GFWS) in Melbourne which has indeed become an annual event that cannot be missed. Not only is it right up my alley, you know, being a foodie and all.. it was also a great opportunity for me to catch up with my fellow foodie mates and meet celebrity chefs. Of course, there’s the food sampling. Not only do you get to sample one of the most diverse range of food and wine you will ever find under one roof, you also get to learn new things and taste … Continue reading Malaysia Kitchen @ GFWS (Part 1: Adam Liaw Cooking Demo)
