The renovated Westfield is at the heart of the Sydney shopping district. Mirrors and polished metal feature throughout and the intersecting levels are just as confusing as the old one. Sydneysiders are shopping at the flagship stores and eating at the restaurants. From burgers to fish and chips, I love its interpretation of a food [...]

We had a full schedule for our recent trip home to Australia. We gallivanted from Sydney to Darwin and Brisbane over two and a half weeks. Our gatherings with family and friends oscillated between sentimental favourites to new recommendations. On our first day in Brisbane, we sought reprieve from the humid heat at The Gunshop Café. Located [...]

I love Disneyland. The manicured gardens, the characters, the rides, the fireworks, the stores, the shows. But not the crowds and queues. When we were in Anaheim last month, we went to Disneyland on a Friday to avoid the crowds and the queues. A friend recommended World of Colour so we had tickets to both [...]
Eataly – Flatiron District, New York
Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 23 September 2011
‘Italy is Eataly.’ And Eataly is the size of all five David Jones Foodhalls in one location combined with the absurd Scandinavian navigation of IKEA. I was exploring the Flatiron District after lunch at Shake Shack and I found myself at the entrance of Eataly. I stood on the sidewalk for several minutes, observing the [...]
Bouchon Bakery – Midtown Manhattan, New York
Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 07 September 2011
We spent a week in California wine country last year. To avoid driving through San Francisco, we picked up our rental car in Napa. After a serene ferry ride, we were a little frazzled by a long bus trip into Napa. Despite having a dinner booking at Bouchon for the next evening, we made an [...]

I love neighbourhood bakeries. They’re busy places with friendly staff and loyal customers. We’ve walked by Macrina Bakery and Café many times and finally visited this week for a rare midweek lunch date. We arrived during the peak of their lunch service and the queue was out the door. Facing the entrance is a refrigerated display of [...]
Dahlia Bakery – Downtown, Seattle
Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Sunday 05 June 2011
Two or three times a year, usually when we’re at an airport for an early morning flight, we join the queue for a McDonald’s breakfast. We do what most of the bleary eyed travellers do – slowly circle the food court, hoping to find a healthy snack and an espresso coffee. We’re defeated by expensive prices [...]

We were obsessed with bread during our first month in Seattle. Expats have told us American bread is sweet. I spent an extended period of time at supermarkets, reading the labels, comparing ingredients and analysing nutritional value incessantly. We tried two loaves that were failures. One was an organic sourdough – it tasted fine and was organic [...]

When I worked in the city in Sydney, there was an abundance of choice for lunch. Malaysian laksa, wonton noodle soup and Chinese BBQ pork, panzerotti and pasta, Indian curries and naan, Japanese gyoza and tempura udon - there are take-away food courts, cafés with seating and many restaurants offering lunch menus. I had sushi rolls, Vietnamese rice paper rolls and [...]

Spring is here! I’ve been contemplating getting our winter coats dry cleaned and polishing my boots to pack away. For only the second time this spring, I went out without wearing a winter coat or waterproof jacket, without a scarf wound around my neck, and I removed the umbrella and gloves from my handbag. And I wore sunglasses. It [...]
