Marina Bay Sands This was our second trip to Singapore and the primary reason for heading back was to stay at Marina Bay Sands and check out their infinity pool. Make no mistake, you definitely pay for the infinity pool as the hotel rooms are lovely but nothing more than you would expect at a […]
My excitement levels were through the roof when I found out about Henri Marc, a stylish new cafe located in Penrith. It’s not easy to find good coffee, delicious food and funky decor in the west but Henri Marc delivered in spades. After a very short wait while they reset the table, my caffeine hit […]
Sedap is a whimsical space in the middle of Regent Place; deceptively small but cleverly decorated by walls of mirrors to give off the appearance of a large dining area. By 12pm at lunch, it’s almost full and the waitstaff are cramming in more tables to seat more guests. There is a lengthy list of options […]
With Canley Vale and Heights being my local, I’m never short of options for cheap and tasty Thai so when I heard about Xangpuak in Green Valley, I was keen to add it to my list of frequent haunts. I’m rarely in Green Valley so it wasn’t easy to find as you can’t see it […]
After two hours raiding the Camilla and Marc warehouse sale, J and I were exhausted from squeezing ourselves into dresses, suffering from zipping blisters and absolutely starving. My first option for a very late lunch was Cipro. Based in a warehouse space in Alexandria, Cipro has an open kitchen with all the pizza made fresh […]
Having stayed at Grand Hyatt on Collins St. previously, I was keen to revisit and pleasantly surprised to see that the hotel was as luxurious as ever. The hotel lobby is beautifully marbled, decorated with floor to ceiling glass fixtures; and the service was remarkable with complimentary newspapers being delivered in the morning and turndown service without […]
The restaurants along Cockle Bay Wharf are great tourist destinations, as they overlook the spectacular view that is Darling Harbour. Blackbird Cafe, being on the balcony level, takes full advantage of the view. When I’m invited in, I’m very keen as it’s the perfect place to take in Vivid Aquatique. I haven’t been to Blackbird […]
In March, I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Melbourne, my favourite city after Sydney, for a work event. With the event hosted by Crown, we stayed at Crown Towers. The hotel oozes elegance from the minute you walk into the lobby and continues into the rooms, with beautiful marble bathrooms and […]
The Copper Mill opened on the site of an old printing press. As they didn’t change the signage out front, I kept looking around as H pointed in the direction of the cafe. The few people milling around outside are my giveaway. Despite the short queue, we’re seated straight away at the corner of the […]
The design of A Tavola Bondi reflects the vibe of the area. It’s a big, open space and a very casual tone in the decor. There’s a long table that runs the length of the restaurant meant for sharing, as well as for the use of the chefs as they make the pasta each day. […]
