Because I am half Thai, eating Thai food out is a rarity. However there are two restaurants I will ALWAYS guarantee. The first is HOME and the other is Chat Thai which has opened up around the CBD (including Westfield), Randwick and Manly just to name a few.
This place never lets us down and it is truly authentic.

Recently my brother has started to take up cooking. He's 14 and I'll be honest... he's pretty good. Right now, he's making Pavolva. Last week he made eclairs and the week before was profiteroles.
Here is his Mother's Day dinner.

Before seeing The Sounds of the South (feat. Justin Vernon from Bon Iver) as part of VIVID Sydney, I took my family out for a nice french dinner at Le Pub which is on the corner of York St and King St in the CBD.
This place is quite unassuming - it's underground and is a mixture of a restaurant and bar. The whole decor is a bit confusing and so is the music however, the food is something else.

As part of the NSW Food & Wine Festival, I had the immense pleasure of heading to the Tea Room at the QVB to enjoy an amazing lunch.

A while ago I went for a morning swim with Dad and we decided to have breakfast at the cafe at Clovelly Beach. It's a very unsuspecting little place but I can assure you, I had one of the best breakfasts I've ever had (true!)

So, I have decided to try out the Bondi Vixen 30 Day Core Challenge and more importantly, a 30 day "shredding" diet plan. This is a low carb, protein enriched diet where you eat every 3 hours, mainly sticking to eggs, protein such as chicken, fish and other meat and veges. Furthermore, you are not allowed to drink alcohol which isn't much of a problem for me because the only things I like drinking are a bit too out of my price range (good wine, good cocktails and good spiced rum).
This diet plan began on the 15th of April and so far it's been pretty good! I am NOT doing this for weight-loss reasons. I am doing this because to be honest, I want to try something new and my mum is out of town for a while. My mother is the best cook I know. And because she's so amazing, it means I eat A LOT. With this diet plan, I get to make my own food and choose my portions (instead of having mum making cakes 24/7 and me eating them because they're amazing. An example;

Mamasan is an amazing asian tapas restaurant along Glenayar Avenue in Bondi, opposite the Beach Road Hotel.
I had never been in before but was interested in trying it and I'm glad I did. Mamasan has a very asian hipster vibe about it, and it works. A lot of the decor is quite antique or asian and the combination creates a very sleek atmosphere.

Recently, I invited some friends over for a nice dinner with homecooked food.
This is the result of an amazing night of food, drink and company.
