I believe in karma-of all kinds including and not limited to strange things such as karma of lifts. For not having a license for several decades means that I have gotten several lifts over the years and I probably owe the universe several thousand. So when I was confirming plans to meet with Laura at [...]

I was so excited I could hardly dial the phone. I’m usually an email person, if the phone rings I stare at it for a good few seconds before realising that it is an object that I need to pick up and speak to (how I became such a natural at it during my teenage [...]

Killa Burger, Carramar & The 30cm Burger Challenge!

Picture this: a full moon night. The three of us have driven a distance and frost blankets the car. Shivering as we alight the car we pull our coats tightly around us. Dave whispers “I’m a bit scared and a bit excited.” We walk through the doors and see the “cage” to our right. Blood [...]

Taste 101 Chinese Restaurant, Auburn & A Most Intriguing Menu

Not Quite Nigella — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:00:57 +0000

I am staring absolutely wide eyed. I have never been as fascinated with a menu in my life. In front of me names such as “Rou Wings”, “Russian Package”, “Beer Duck”, “Pig Leaves”, “Kidney with spicy sauce in Monolithic”, “Great Lunch Meat” and the unfortunately spelled “Vage Meal” dance before me tickling my funny bone [...]

Albee’s Kitchen Malaysian Delights, Campsie

“Let’s go for an adventure!” I say to Mr NQN one afternoon. We are well blessed with an unusually sunny day after what seems like weeks of rain shining down on us. And as my parent have loaned us their car while they were away we feel like we should go for a drive [...]

My father has an innate sense of borders. There is a certain perimeter he won’t breach in his car and it spans about 10 kilometres around their house. Outside of that makes him nervous and so when I suggested a Japanese restaurant for my mother’s birthday in Meadowbank which was in truth only about 30 [...]

Meet My Suburb: Auburn Food Tour

Not Quite Nigella — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 19:00:55 +0000

When I receive an offer by email from Somer Sivrioglu from Balmain’s Efendy restaurant I am giggling with glee. For a tour by one of Sydney’s top Turkish chefs to the Turkish rich area of Auburn is like getting a local’s tour with an inside track on Turkish cuisine! Auburn is a suburb in Sydney’s [...]

Five Star Chocolates and Sweets, Greenacre

Not Quite Nigella — Sat, 08 May 2010 19:00:19 +0000

Oooh waterfall! It’s never a great idea to go dessert shopping when you’re full…well scratch that, it’s actually a great idea if you want to resist temptation. One sunny afternoon, M and her boys and Mr NQN and I walk through Five Star chocolates and sweets doors in Greenacre with stomachs full to bulging. There’s [...]

Eastwood Garden Peking Restaurant for Peking Duck

Not Quite Nigella — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 18:00:41 +0000

There are noble pursuits, the climbing of Mount Everest, the pursuit of an Olympic medal but Your Honour, allow me to share my pursuit. No, not just the pursuit of Happiness, although this would be considered an adjunct of this, but the pursuit of the best Peking Duck in Sydney. It goes alongside my pursuit [...]

Meet My Suburb Tour: Cabramatta (Nine Eateries In One Day!)

Not Quite Nigella — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:00:59 +0000

The Mall area Last month, a bunch of food bloggers and I went on a Meet My Suburb Walking Tour of Kensington and Kingsford where I showed them around the secret local’s favourites in the area. It was so much fun so some other blogger friends and I decided to do the same in Cabramatta. [...]
