Spotted - Ventuno, Sydney

Spotted is a monthly post I am starting that features a short interview with someone I have spotted in a food setting. The person I interview could be just about anyone: from someone I randomly approach, to someone I just met that same day, to someone I know well. The point is, they must be spotted while eating. Most of the people I interview will be either someone I do not know at all, or not know very well. For that reason, I have purposely kept...

Good Food Month in Sydney

I just found out that October is Good Food Month in Sydney...an entire month devoted to the celebration of food! No food lover will want to leave Sydney during this time. Good food month is packed with features and events such as night noodle markets, cooking classes, young chef's dinner, farmers' markets, and lunch and dinner offers. They will even have Ferran Adrià, the world's most celebrated chef, give a talk about a day at his Spanish...

Bite Me, Sydney

I had lunch at the Sydney Bite Me burger chain, and I have to say it was pretty good. This is not your typical fast food burger joint. In fact, I would say that this is not even a fast food joint. The theme of this place is dirty and raunchy. The billboard photos combine their food with inappropriate suggestions, and the name itself is somewhat inappropriate. But because it is a burger restaurant that serves quality food, that somehow cancels out,...

Sydney's Top Cafes

After 30 hours of travelling, I finally arrive in Sydney. This is my 5th time visiting in 3 years, and I have really grown to love this city. The first thing I did was go out for coffee. Well technically, the first thing I did was unpack and shower, but that is besides the point.If there is a city that takes their coffee seriously, it is Sydney. The baristas here are passionate about their coffee, and they take pride in what they do. Sydney cafes...

Flower Blooming Tea

The first time I saw flower blooming tea was at Slanted Door in San Francisco. I am a huge fan of lychee so when I saw a jasmine infused green tea with lychee flower on the menu, I ordered it. To my surprise, it was not just an ordinary tea. When it first came out, it was a ball of green. However, moments later, the ball transformed into a beautiful work of art. Not only was the tea beautiful, but it was extremely fragrant as well. Although this...

Black Rice Sushi and Ramen Noodles

I am on my way to Sydney to visit CK, and I am so excited. I haven't seen him in about 6 months, and the phone relationship just hasn't been cutting it lately. He is usually in school when I visit, but this time he is off, and we have booked a trip to New Zealand...woo hoo! I am in Sydney for 2 days (just enough time to get rid of my jet lag) and then we are off. We are doing a 10 day road trip around the South Island, and I am just crossing my...

Dean and Deluca Truffle Salt

This Dean and Deluca truffle salt is one of the best salts I have ever tasted. Sounds bizarre, but it is true. The Dean and Deluca website says that this salt goes well with steak, risotto, eggs and potatoes, but in my opinion, it is best eaten on its own.You know how kids sneak to the cookie jar to steal cookies...well, I would say that this is my cookie jar equivalent. This is an Italian sea salt mixed with black truffles from Abruzzi. If you have...

Low Fat Tiramisu

I'm all about eating healthy. To me, healthy equals natural, which means eating real food. Oh yea, another thing...the quicker and easier, the better! My general philosophy on eating healthy is to avoid processed and hydrogenated foods, eat mainly whole wheat and whole grain products, and always eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Easier said than done, right? I have to admit, eating healthy is not easy. However, it is not that...
