Snow Pony is one of Melbourne's popular brunch places, and a restaurant which I've been eyeing for a while. The waitress tells us that Snow Pony sources its ingredients locally as much as possible, and the restaurant has some nifty home gadgets to minimise their environment impact. I was pretty impressed with their restroom set-up. The tap is connected to the toilet cistern. You wash your hands and the used water flows into the cistern, where...

Ahh. Persian Flavours. You give my love for food a little more variety, you. There is a bit of a debate on Zomato about whether you lean more towards Persian or Afghanistan, but all that talk just makes you even more exotic. As long as you keep on firing up those charcoal grills of yours, anything goes. I've been here before in the tail-end of 2014, but I've neglected to write about it. Well, I've came once again with a large group of friends...

If you happen to be a goat or a chicken, Meat in the Middle must be what hell looks like. And what are you doing on the internet, you. Go chew on some more grass.  If you're a human who love meat as much as I do though, it's pretty much heaven. I've been here twice, both times with a full-on meat craving, and I left completely stuffed and satisfied. You'll love it here. I promise. (Caveat: Unless you are a vegetarian; in which...

After spending every hour of the day over the last few weeks being glued to my seat in my room moving from deadline to deadline, I forgot there's so much more to life than the four walls of my room. Once in a while, it's nice to say to myself enough is enough. As a wise friend said, don't spend so much time trying to make a living that you forget to have a life.  A break once in a while is well-deserved, and I pushed aside my inexhaustible...

After a delicious meal at Persian Flavours, I couldn't get my cravings for grilled spiced chicken out of my head. I was busy with school for a few weeks, but luckily, the Dandenong area is a Middle Eastern area packed with restaurants. A quick Google search later, and I located Afghan Charcoal Kebabs just a few minutes drive away. My friend and I had a rare occasion where our schedules coincided one day, and we hopped on over to the restaurant...

It was a happy coincidence that we ended up having lunch at Albion Hotel. I was on the way to Dandenong Market with S to buy a 10-kilo box of mandarin oranges and split it between the two of us. This is why we make such perfect groceries shopping partners. We enable each other We initially planned for a meal at Polish Rye Bakery, which I had heard really good reviews about. But, as we stopped by at Coles to pick up a few essentials,...

Words by Miss XS Korean dessert cafes is popping up all over the Singapore in these last few months, with more cafes offering Korean sweets in the food scene. Back into the days when I was a kid, the closest thing I had was ice kacang from hawker centres - which I crave whenever the day is hot. Shavings of ice, topped with colorful syrup and mixed with generous amount of red beans, sweet corn and atap seeds: yum! Then, came the Taiwanese versions...
