Shopping in Le Marais easily work up an appetite. Luckily, the neighbourhood is home to the Marché des Enfants-Rouges, a gourmet food market that is home to Chez Taeko, an understated Japanese canteen. Chez Taeko is a strictly Japanese food stall where Taeko Inai and her staff busily prepare the best bento boxes in the […]

Eating lunch at Rochelle Canteen is strictly for those in the know or those with in the know friends. Entry into the restaurant is granted by buzzing an unmarked door nestled in the walls of an old Victorian school situated on Arnold Circus in Shoreditch. Stepping through the door, you’ll likely experience a flashback to […]

I was certain I’d hate LA with its sprawling suburbs, endless driving and plastic people. And maybe I’d still hate to live there but as a New Yorker for the last almost-year without a proper holiday, a long weekend in LA was the perfect way to de-stress and re-energise. Sure, there are those LA cliché’s […]

1 / 1 ( 1 vote ) It’s probably impossible to distil all NYC restaurants down to the best 15, but I’m ambitious so I’m going to go ahead and do it anyway. Besides, it’s my blog so I can take it back if I change my mind. These restaurants are the top-15 that really […]

A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to indulge in a girls-and-gay-best-friends weekend in Paris. The plan was to see and do as much as possible since one of the girls (Hoa) was a Paris virgin, but somehow we ended up spending most of our time at GBF’s place stuffing ourselves with foie gras […]

I jumped at the chance to spend this last weekend in Berlin with Mikee, who had been there all week schmoozing with industry folk at Bread & Butter. I was really in the mood for a dose of Berlin’s attitude; you know, cool, laid-back, edgy yet stylishly hedonistic ”“ the kind of attitude that cool […]

The words “best lunch ever” were uttered as a result of the creative menu, fresh ingredients, young beautiful crowd and urban summer setting. Best bit: The strawberry, goat cheese, candied almond and green leaf salad with a pineapple mint and ginger juice. http://www.marketipanema.com.br/ Rua Visconde de Pirajá, 452 – Loja 01 Ipanema – Rio de […]

1 / 1 ( 1 vote ) During my 3 weeks in Adelaide I had a mild twice-a-week obsession ”“ broken rice and avocado smoothies at a Van Restaurant. This is a Vietnamese restaurant tucked away in a quiet residential street deep in the inner-western suburbs of Adelaide where many Vietnamese settled in the mid-70s. […]
