1090 Burger, Melbourne (food truck)
This little gem of a food truck is a regular in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, and compared to a lot of its competitors, it really doesn’t stand out at first glance. It’s a plain, unadorned truck, which might be mistaken for any other parked truck in the area, were it not for the crowd of people...
Morning Glory’s Market Restaurant, Hoi An, Vietnam
When we decided to go to Vietnam, my sister and I were told over and over again that Morning Glory was not only the place to learn to cook, but to eat as well; we thought we’d take advantage of their offerings and booked a cooking class that included an all you can eat buffet...
Batman Market, Melbourne
I’ve been looking forward to visiting this market so much – it’s had a lot of advertising leading up to the opening weekend (October 11th & 12th). You can read a bit more about the market on their website, but the basic premise is that the team behind the Batman Market are working to build...
Crunchy toasted cacao & coconut muesli (gluten free)
When I make muesli, I prefer to make a large batch – it keeps well in an air-tight plastic tub. The other great thing about this, and a fact that seems to be quite little known, is that oats actually are gluten free by nature, if they’re pure and processed on specialised equipment! Oats are...
Late night street food in Bangkok
I was in Thailand in January 2014, while the city was in the midst of the “Shutdown Bangkok” political movement. Unfortunately, a lot of the markets and street food vendors I’d remembered so fondly from a previous visit were either not operating, or doing much shorter hours than usual, so we were pretty excited to...
The Breakfast Club, Melbourne
This is probably my favourite café in Melbourne, which I visit at least once a fortnight. It’s getting to be pretty popular, and it’s easy to see why. It’s cosy and cute, with kitschy little mismatched salt and pepper shakers on the tables, the most gorgeous bathroom in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, a spectacular cake display,...
Bún Chà Nem Cua Bê, Hanoi, Vietnam
Hands down one of the coolest dining and travel experiences of my life! My sister and I had this place recommended on a recent trip to Vietnam by a local woman we met. It took us a bit of time to find the street name, and the enormous amount of people out the front told...
Lemon Chia Seed Cake
Lately I’ve been really craving a good cake. I really like a good lemon dessert, so I thought of a lemon poppy seed cake. Then I thought, why not replace the poppy seeds with chia seeds? I’m absolutely loving chia seeds right now, mostly in the form of my overnight oats that I have for...
Le P’Tit Troquet
I found this place last year by chance, while browsing TripAdvisor reviews of Parisian restaurants. I didn’t really know what I was looking for, other than something on the way to the Moulin Rouge from our hotel near the Eiffel Tower. What we found was a gorgeous little bistro, with the friendliest staff we’d encountered...

Meson Del Cafe
We literally stumbled (those cobblestones look cute, but they’re not always easy to walk on!) while we were in Barcelona last year. We had been up early in the morning, walking around the city for four hours, and were starting to get really, really hungry. We noticed Meson Del Cafe was full of what looked...
All Day Donuts, Melbourne, Australia
Macarons are old news, now. Cupcakes have been and gone. It’s time for a new dawn in delicious sweets, and Melbourne’s Raph Rashid, the genius behind Beatbox Kitchen and the Taco Truck is stepping up to the challenge with his new venture, All Day Donuts. Located in a nondescript brick building off Sydney Rd in...
