Had a good catch-up with Glenn (aka the Hungryepicurean) who is now busy with his full-time job hence the lack of updates. We had savoury food but I can’t seem to remember much about what we had haha. But I … Continue reading →

First saw Lamingtons being made in an episode of MasterChef Australia. Nothing complicated- just sponge with a chocolate coating and dusted with dessicated coconut. The difficulty apparently is slicing them into perfect, identical cubes. Comptoir Gourmand at the Borough Market … Continue reading →

Paris 2012: Poilâne

Posted on March 21, 2013 by

To be fair, I’ve read tons of good things about dinner in okb… and granted I was there at its opening on a weekday so the selection was extremely limited. It’s still a place worth checking out if you are … Continue reading →

A not so new addition to the taka food basement is Donq Boulangerie Francaise. It’s small and cramped but the kitchen regularly churns out delicious smelling breads that are snapped up as quickly as they are brought out. As with the usual … Continue reading →

Hiking Ireland #1

Posted on October 1, 2012 by

I’m currently on exchange in Dublin (studying in University College Dublin ) now. It’s a huge change in lifestyle but I can get used to this. The biggest difference I feel, is the freedom. There are obviously two sides to … Continue reading →
