Did I mention how happy I am that winter is over? Spring is officially in full swing, and the weather has just been glorious… well, as glorious as it can be for Melbourne anyway. Melbourne can be rather unpredictable, so … Continue reading Casey Food and Wine Festival 2019
If you work in the food service, retail & distribution and hospitality industry – whether as a cafe / restaurant owner, or a chef, or a grocery shop owner or working for a large national food distribution company, or a … Continue reading Fine Food Australia Expo, Melbourne 12 – 15 September 2016
Last night, I was very fortunate to have been invited to an exclusive dinner party hosted by our friends to celebrate a great milestone for his career. When I say exclusive, I am not kidding – it was a full … Continue reading Your Private Chef Experience, Melbourne
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be one of the few bloggers invited to an exclusive Masterclass Event featuring Ian Curley from the European Restaurant in Melbourne. The event was hosted by Bosch Kitchen Appliances and was … Continue reading Bosch Masterclass Bloggers Event featuring Ian Curley
A lot of you may have noticed that I am certainly far from being the best at baking / decorating cakes. As a matter of fact, I almost dislike making desserts. Is that weird? I love EATING them, and when I do decide to make desserts I do enjoy how pretty they look, but if I had the choice to spend 2 hours in the kitchen to cook whatever I want… I would not choose to make a dessert. I am most definitely more a savoury cook. That is why I’ve decided that yes, I will go to a Mamma … Continue reading Mamma Bake Cupcake Decorating Class
This post is Sponsored by Nuffnang Photo Credit: http://www.wtcmelbourne.com.au Progressive dinners are always a lot of fun, and I’m sure most of us would be quite familiar with the concept of progressive dinners organized with friends (especially friends who all live within minutes from each other) – whereby we go from house to house for a complete dinner party so each host only needs to prepare one or two dishes instead of putting up the entire spread for the night. This way, everyone gets a chance to entertain as hosts and be entertained as guests. In the restaurant world, progressive … Continue reading Progressive Dinner @ WTC Wharf, Melbourne
A few days ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the La Zuppa’s The Flavour event and be on the judging panel for a new flavour of soup. La Zuppa recently organised a competition for people to submit ideas for a new soup flavour to add to their range of exciting soup products. From over 2,000+ entries the Top 5 were selected and we got to taste them all and vote for our favourite! The event was attended by 6 food bloggers aka Aussie “foodies” such as myself, and the rest were pretty much expert marketers of … Continue reading La Zuppa’s The Flavour Judging Event @ The Botanical, South Yarra VIC
Sponsored by Nuffnang My fellow readers, have I got a treat for you today. You get to go on a virtual Prahran Market “Hidden Gems” Tour right here on my blog! Of course, nothing beats the real thing – and unfortunately I can only feature some of my favourites and highlights of the tour otherwise this page would overflow with too much information and too many photos! So, soak up the following information below as a “teaser” but if you are a food lover and you love markets as much as I do, I would highly recommend you book yourself … Continue reading Prahran Market "Hidden Gems" Tour
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
I never thought I’d be blogging a 3-part blog series for Malaysia Kitchen alone! I will still need to do a full recap for the rest of the show other than Malaysia Kitchen and that is coming up next. I am so, so impressed at my fellow food bloggers who have somehow managed to “compress” everything into one single post. I’d like to believe that I tried.. but failed miserably, lol. So instead I’m going for the “small chunks” like short stories in a big book – come back tomorrow and read the new chapter! I did, however, manage to … Continue reading Malaysia Kitchen @ Good Food and Wine Show 2011 Melbourne (Part 3: Final Recap)
