Must Wine Bar - Margaret River

First time I've bought the Entertainment Book and it is such a great buy! There are so many nice restaurants and cafes that I did not know about under I found them in the book. It is quite worthwhile for foodies who dine out often, I've saved quite a bit. It is always fun and good to surprise people that you have a 'buy one get one free' mains or 25% off the total meal.

Anyway, Must Wine Bar was a restaurant introduced by my friend, but also happens to be in the Entertainment book. I've heard really good reviews about it, the steak was really good (supposed to be famous too). I also tried their angel hair blue manna crab pasta which had a generous serving of fresh crab. The taste was light and refreshing.

Totally worth the long drive from Bunker Bar to Margaret River just to get dinner (due to bad planning)

They also have a branch in Highgate which is just 10 minutes from Perth.

Time for some photos

Bought my partner's birthday cake from Jean Pierre Sancho which is located in Shafto Lane Perth CBD. I ordered the Luxury Strawberry Cake, and it was indeed really luxurious! creamy but light strawberry mousse, with fluffy sponge and fresh strawberries. 

(ignore the writing, it is actually a very affectionate nickname that i call him :p)

Service was very prompt, once we were seated the fresh bread came shortly after.

had a glass of champagne for the night

reservations are strongly recommended, it was so packed that night, and I heard it is a very popular restaurant.

Voyager Estate Margaret River

I am back! After such a long delay with me starting school and having a new job, my life is so chaotic. I am glad I can find a few extra minute to just sit down in front of my computer and write a blog entry!

It was my boyfriend's birthday last weekend so I booked him a two night stay at Bunker Bay Resort (awesome!). Some photos that I have taken in Voyager Estate.

The food was good, although their winery did not have an extensive list of wines that they produce, it was still worthwhile to go give it a visit. The estate itself was huge, and the service was really good too! I am just going to let the photos do the talking

Sydney - Buon Ricordo

Have you heard of Armando?

He's a famous italian chef in Australia that appeared on a cooking show. One of my favourite home-cooked pasta was taught by him through his show! see here where i made his pasta

When i heard that his original restaurant is in Sydney and that restaurant pops up everywhere on the internet as one of the 'must-try' places in Sydney, i immediately made a reservation!

We walked quite a bit to the restaurant and it was situated in a very nice suburb

It was a weekday lunch hence it was quite empty. There were a few regulars there chatting with the owner, and then telling me how good the food was, it raised our expectations even higher!

It was a classic italian restaurant, simple yet elegant. The waiter was very attentive and the service was fantastic! 

I order the famous fettucine - $34.50

Fettucine with cream and parmesan, topped with a fried truffle egg 

This was tossed at the table by the waiter, so i could only get a picture of it post-tossed!

The cream was thick, fresh and heavenly. The taste of truffle with the creamy pasta was just a combination to die for! My friend and I were totally blown away by this dish

My friend's order - Tagliatelle - $29.50

Egg pasta with puree leeks, guanciale, fried sage leaves and parmesan

This pasta was as good as the creamy one and I think it should be given the same spotlight and credit as the fettucine! This pasta was lighter, and suitable for people who doesnt like thick creamy pasta. I loved this pasta, very delicious!

One more picture of the fettucine again!

Give this restaurant a try when you are in Sydney!

Sydney - Queen Victoria Building

we cant deny that sydney is a big cosmopolitan city!

went for work but had a bit of time to do some sight see

Queen Victoria Building is always one of favourite places in Sydney and a place i truly remember 

I remembered going to visit QVB when i was in high school, and i stayed with my friend who lived in sydney. we had so much fun 

there is something grand and romantic about this building

settled for a quick drink in one of the cafes on the top level. i chose this cafe because i loved the coloured glass :)

just to share some photos i've taken there!

Sydney - Ton Ton Ramen

Ramen is one of my favourite dish. Having tried a bowl of ramen in kobe that was so heavenly, i've become really picky when it comes to the ramen they serve in Australia. 

Before I went to Sydney, i did a research online about the best food sydney has to offer, just like any gluttony foodie will do. Forget sightseeing, food is the most important. haha

There were a lot of good reviews of Ton ton ramen online, same as Gumshara Ramen (unfortunately i didn't have time to try that). So we went to the CBD area and walked to tonton, it was so conveniently located, right in the middle of the hustle bustle of city

Ordered the Tonton ramen with extra char siu (grilled pork)

The ramen came in a very generous serving. The char siue was thinly sliced, tasty and soft! Broth was very creamy and tasty. Noodles were towards the chewy kind rather than the soft kind. It was good and we went back twice!

Just beside ton ton ramen there is a small japanese cafe with really nice looking cakes. So we bought a strawberry shortcake. I love asian cakes because the sponge cake is ultra light and fluffy. Go try a sponge cake from an asian cake shop or a japanese cake shop… these are my favourite kind of cakes!

my friend had a matcha latte which looked too beautiful, didnt have a taste but it sure looks good 

Tonton Ramen is located at

501 George Street

Sydney
