Cafe Sydney set a high standard for all Aussie food experiences on this trip Down Under. Unfortunately, for the successive restaurants on my 118-dayfood tour, everywhere else suffered an unfair comparison. Save up you…
Room 10, Potts Point, Sydney, Australia
I would have overlooked Room 10, a little hole in the wall cafe down a nondescript alleyway in Potts Point, if it weren’t for my bon vivant girlfriend, Shaz. She assured me we’d get a great brew here and she was right. It just so happens, as we were enj…
The Coffee Club, Nepean River, Sydney, Australia
The Coffee Club, on Nepean River in Penrith, is a lovely place for breakfast. Sit outside to enjoy the greenery and go for a stroll along the river after your meal. The all-day breakfast ranges from the classic bacon, eggs, tomato and toast, to eggs benedict wit…
Tuscany Ristorante, Leichhardt, Sydney, Australia
Norton St. in Leichhardt is the place to go for a good selection of Italian food in Sydney. It seems the whole street is bejewelled with both cosy and stylish eateries. We couldn’t get into the hot pick for the week as it was Saturday night so, drawn in by […]

Giovino Wine Shop & Restaurant, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Giovino Wine Shop Restaurant serves up hearty Greek and Italian meals. I’ve been here both for private functions in the upstairs area and for dinner. Both times I enjoyed the Greek antipasto plate. Both times I filled myself on these tapas and didn’…
Lunch at Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar, Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
To my surprise, not all German food is heavy and made for big eaters. Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar has some great lunch offerings and lighter meals for dinner too. A variety of soups, sandwiches and pizzas make for a quick bite before you head off for a day of […]

Nahm Restaurant Bangkok
By Elizabeth Kendle We enjoyed dinner at Nahm Restaurant Bangkok immensely. We selected the chicken salad from the yum (salad) menu and it was nicely balanced. Out of the curries, we chose the green beef rib curry and it was so spicy and rich but mere male said it was […]
