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.

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.

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.

So, this is my photo diary from Thailand.
I didn't take my phone many places but there are still some food photos on there.

Once again, the Shtein Family is out on the town to score some dinner (well, that's just me). We went to go see Rock of Ages (I recommend it - Tom Cruise was amazing) but not before having dinner at a relatively new restaurant to the Entertainment Quarter called Mi Piace. It's an Italian restaurant with everything from antipasto to pizza to steak to seafood. The menu is quite extensive.

Antipasto Platter for two
parma prosciutto, sopressa salami , artichokes hearts, mixed italian olives, chargrilled eggplant, rosted red peppers pecorino and toasted in house made ciabatta
My iPhone really wrecked the presentation and colour but this was delicious. We fought over this one.

Filletto Piemontese
medium rare cooked beef eye fillet with grilled and arborio rice filled tomato, asparagus, served with red wine glaze
This was great. The fillet was cooked really well, it just melted in my mouth and the tomato had arborio rice in it which i thought was a nice touch. Asparagus was also nicely cooked - all in all a great dish.

Wood-fired Scampi
garlic, lemon, parsley marinated scampi served on a bed of wild rocket leave
Mum got this one. The scampi was cooked really well and the presentation was great. Also, what a generous serving.

Towards the coast, you can scramble to get on a million of these old, wooden boats and take a trip along Halong Bay where you can visit caves, fisheries and famous rocks. Not only that, on these boats, they will provide you with an excellent seafood lunch.
Once you get past all the people buying cheap as cigarettes out of black bags, you'll be confronted by an incredible sight...
