On my last trip to Sydney, I stumbled upon a Mexican restaurant called the Mad Mex located opposite of Mercure Hotel at Haymarket, Sydney. This time I’ve made it a point to venture out of my comfort zone of Sydney restaurants (okay I caved in a little and went to Mamak for the nth time ha!). Plus I’m craving for some cooking inspirations and dining out turned out to be a great help! I ordered a Naked Burrito which basically was a burrito in a bowl with rice, salad, salsa, cheese, guacamole, ... continue reading...

Grilled Chicken & Guacamole Taco with Garlic-Yoghurt-Tahini Sauce
I tried crispy taco for the first time at Mad Mex last month and it has since became a new addition to the Mexican dish I cooked at home. Before this, I have been rotating between fajitas, nachos and sometimes quesadillas but never crispy taco for some reasons. Partly I felt crispy tacos were a bit messy to eat but considering how delicious they are now to me, I can definitely get pass the messiness. ;) Inspired by my new found favourite Mexican dish, I have decided to re-create it at home ... continue reading...
Kale & Bean Chili
Canned beans are my pantry must-have. They have been my dessert island life saver when it comes to making last minute meals and/or bulking up meals. You know, those moments when you have a surprise guest (or guests) and it’s rude to turn them away during meal times; a day before your grocery shopping day; when your spouse forgot to tell you that one of the invited guest to your dinner party is a vegetarian… etc. My favourite way of cooking canned beans has been “currying” them. Regardless ... continue reading...
Vegetarian Nachos
I have many friends who have special dietary requirements; mostly they are vegetarians. So whenever I’m organising a dinner party, it has became a second nature that I make sure everyone’s dietary requirement is catered for. I remember my beloved brought a friend home not too long ago. As soon as they walked through the door: “Hey Hun, I forgot to tell you that A is a vegetarian”, he said as-a-matter-of-factly. And there I was, spending a couple of hours before cooking chicken curry and a ... continue reading...
A Day Trip in Bathurst, NSW
{Vintage style lamp posts dot the city roads} I resided in Bathurst for a year before moving back to Orange. Bathurst has eventually grown on me especially it has specialty shops that are not available in Orange. Plus, there's Target in Bathurst. I love shopping in Target and it kinda sucks to drive 40 minutes just to shop in Target from Orange. But I suppose for city dwellers, 40 minutes drive from point A to B is no big deal. So please forgive me for being spoilt by the ... continue reading...
Orange Theme & My Quick Friday Dinner
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Bathurst and wandering around for a day on my own while my beloved was atending a work conference. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to all day to myself. I have taken many photos during the trip and intend to dedicate a separate post on the shops and scenary that made me fall in love with Bathurst. After all I did spend a year living there and gradually, the place has grown in me. Until then, here are bits and pieces of my trip and a photo of my ... continue reading...
