Tucked away in Ultimo, a street away from Broadway shopping centre we arrive at Kafe Kooks. This is a mecca for roti lovers. The owners mission is to showcase roti, an addictive Indian bread, in innovative ways beyond the traditional favourites to push the boundaries of what we know from breakfast through to supper. As...
‘Affordable luxury’ sounds like an oxymoron, right? But here we are, seated by the window on Crown Street, next to Bills in Surry Hills. We have a happy vibes as we read the menu and its prices. French onion soup for $18? Wines for $12? Nooo, get outta here. Oops sorry, typo, get in here…...
Tourists get to experience the best of Sydney. When was the last time you escaped the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s CBD with a strole around the Chinese Garden of Friendship? Mmmm not lately. Well, sharpen your chopsticks, there is a new reason to go, as One Dining Opens, replacing Gardens by Lotus. We arrive...
I am looking around a decadent red lounge room. These people are good looking roosters. A mere few hours ago a woman with perfectly groomed locks picks up a Forget Me Not Bombay Sapphire inspired cocktail as her date is transfixed, a man at the bar repositions his Gucci interlocking briefcase, whilst a striking white...
We love Spice Alley. So any new kid on the block has our attention. On a cold, rainy Saturday night we walk down the Spice Alley strip.

We first reviewed Grain Bar when it launched in 2012. Back then Hamish Ingham (Bar H) created a media sensation with a tempura saltbush bar snack that made this beer loving woman feel like a giraffe gnawing cripsy leaves off a branch. It’s easy to overlook a hotel bar as ‘blah’ but Grain (part of...
We test out the latest in hard floor cleaning technology, designed for homes with pups!
We haven’t been at the Lansdowne in ages. You know what? We should do it more often. Its a bustling tonight and with ticketed gig’s going on upstairs. The crowd is a microcosm of world fashion and cultures. There are amazing afros, 70’s style dudes, skirts so short they make tshirts look like oversize jumpers,...
Why an Airfyer? It’s likely that (like us) you have an oven, frypan, steaming baskets and a grill pan. So why on earth do you need yet another appliance eating into your most prized commodity- your kitchen countertop? Until a year ago I was an air-fryer-denier. Then got one to review. Now I am like...
Yum. Charcoal chicken. Just saying these words has us drooling in anticipation of tasting a forkful from the perfect chook – charry, steamy, juicy on the inside and more golden than a Gaytime. We are here to try out their new All You Can Eat menu. Henrietta is pretty posh for a chicken shop. In...
