The Fat Duck Journey


The day finally came, after waiting 4months for our table, our experience at Heston's Fat Duck was fun, entertaining and will be very memorable. The journey took 5hrs to get through 14 courses, though it sounds all so formal, it made us giggle, while he took us down memory lane reminiscing childhood memories and having breakfast as dessert!

Madeline Peyroux @ The Barbican


After a long day at work, we were in need of a serious chill out session. We ventured over to the Barbican to watch one of our fav jazz singers, Madeline Peyroux.

After a bit of a wait, she finally appeared with her 4 piece band. The night was perfect! The ambience, the intimacy, and the melodic vocals of Madeline were all perfect! The highlight of the night was when she sang our fav song "La Javanese". The song just exudes romanticism and paints the picture of when she played her music on the streets of Paris.

Anzac Cookies

Seems we have put up quite a few posts this weekend. Sorry to all those that may think we have a boring life...=P

Since I didnt get my fav Anzac biscuits this year, I decided to whip some up. I think it was in the oven too long, a bit too crunchy for my liking.

Happy 6th Birthday Yuki!


Happy birthday darling! Unfortunately we are unable to celebrate our little girl's birthday this year, but she did still get a special treat courtesy of her grandma and granddad. Via webcam we wished her happy birthday while she chomped blissfully on her roast lamb leg. We are both missing her dearly! Love you lots lots..muah muah muah

Relo from Home

As I went for a hair cut at a Japanese hairdresser yesterday, Trent met up with his cousin-in-law for a beer or two. We then met up at Princi for a quick coffee and pastry before we headed to 1* Wild Honey (sister restaurant of Artbutus) for dinner.

The food was alright, not as good as The Ledbury but way better than L'Autre Pied. The ambience was pretty good, warm and inviting. The waitress was also very helpful, till the Maitre'd kept reminding us that our 2hr time slot was almost up!

We had the veloute, sea bass, veal, chicken. Followed by wild honey icecream, cheesecake and a tapioca panna cotta. I thought it was a weird combo, the tapioca made it more like a pudding and so the panna cotta lost its smooth and softness!

Best Roast Duck in London

Sometimes, Trent & I get a little too lazy to cook dinner and we are very lucky to live down the road from London's famous Four Season. Everyone raves on about their roast duck, we must admit, it is much better than Sydney!

Though we have been eating it on a regular basis, I dont believe we have ever posted pics... here you go...
