The new venture of the Chin Chin Group, we checked out Hawker Hall on Chapel street for some Asian eats. It's a food and beer hall inspired by the Singaporean hawkers markets. There was a 40 minute wait but we happily popped next door to Boston Sub for a cocktail first (try rumble in the... Continue Reading →

Excellent food, poor service at Hippopotamus, Wellington
Having dined at Hippopotamus at QT Hotel (formerly Art Museum) with wonderful past experiences, it was disappointing to see such a decline in the service. If this was a review purely on food, the restaurant would still sit very high in my books, however service accounts for much of the experience and they really let... Continue Reading →
NZ Getaway
Did I mention I spent a lovely week working from home? I flew in the Sunday and we had dinner with family in Mana before the 3ish hour drive back to the farm. I worked from home during the week, and finally bought a converter for my Surface (laptop) so I could attach a big... Continue Reading →
The Grounds of Alexandria, Sydney
This is my new favourite place! I'd heard the rumours the grounds were incredible but I really didn't understand what the venue offered until I visited. Based in an industrial area in Sydney not far from the airport, the Grounds of Alexandria are partly sustainable gardens known for its abundance of fresh produce and hands-on... Continue Reading →

I chose the mediterranean baked eggs which had spicy chorizo and potato in a rich chilli tomato sauce. The chorizo was juicy and the hot... Continue Reading →

Harvest Restaurant, Coolum
With many recommendations and the highest ranking for the area on Zomato, Harvest was at the top of our hitlist for dinner in Coolum. We were all quite surprised by the appearance of the restaurant, it looked like your average café, not a fine dining restaurant. There weren’t even table cloths on the tables. As...

Canteen Kitchen & Bar – Coolum Hot Spot
This is the perfect bar to laze around and watch the sunset over the beach with a cocktail. We walked down the road about 5 mins from our resort, Coolum Seaside and came across Canteen Kitchen and Bar. We were straight in and hoping for a seat out the front to sit and people watch....

Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers – Paddington, Brisbane
A gnoccheria... in Brisbane... ummm, yes please! We were lucky to score a seat outside the bustling venue, you order inside. There's a limited menu and limited seating. Even with a limited menu it is hard to chose what to have... I could have gone for all the entrees... and all the gnocchi. HOW DO... Continue Reading →
