GRADI you were so GOOD. But I made a discovery.

Posted on 27 February 201828 February 2018by LanebyLaine

Last week I got to eat at 400 Gradi in Melbourne’s Crown Hotel, famous for its generally good Italian food and one pizza in particular. As the restaurant’s website will tell you, 400 Gradi’s chef, Johnny Di Francesco is the first Australian ever trained in Naples to the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana rules and was crowned […]

I’ll Have More Tea This Year (A Journal of T2’s Teas)

Posted on 12 January 201824 February 2018by LanebyLaine

  At the risk of failing every new year resolution once again I’ve decided to give myself one that I have some hope of accomplishing. And that’s to drink more tea. Everything else on my list (lose weight, exercise more, stop filling up my calendar) has been a futile exercise year after year. Having to […]

The George, Christchurch

Posted on 1 July 201717 August 2017by LanebyLaine

“She isn’t much to look at on the outside but she’s a real beauty on the inside,”   So my taxi driver informed me as I was being chauffeured from Christchurch airport. We were talking about the lodging he was sending me to, a small luxury boutique hotel called The George, the first 5-star accommodation […]

Tickled by a Tea Story from Anjum Anand

Posted on 25 March 20178 April 2017by LanebyLaine

Even the smartest marketing minds sometimes can’t predict human behaviour. I came across the following story about the introduction of tea to India from a new cookbook by British-Indian author and TV personality Anjum Anand. (You know I’m a big tea fan, correct?) Tea of course, has been an integral part of India’s culture as much as […]

Steak As Good As Bak Kwa – Charcoal Grill On The Hill

Posted on 15 October 2016by LanebyLaine

Yup. You heard me. Never in a million years would I have thought that while eating a delicious piece of steak that I would be thinking about bak kwa… a popular and very tasty Chinese snack made from barbecued minced pork (or other meats…pork is best). But I did and let me explain. It was […]

What To Eat in Perth

Hands up if you’ve ever forked out A$50 for fish n’ chips. That would never be me as I’m more of a casual eats girl and happy to pay corresponding casual eats prices. But people have forked out that shocker price in Perth for what’s traditionally been something that gets fried fresh and thrown into a basket […]

Nyonya Food to Rave About in Melaka

Posted on 23 July 201623 July 2016by LanebyLaine
Popiah at Unicorn Cafe in Melaka, Malaysia

It’s always a privilege when I meet someone who is part of a dying culture. And an even more interesting privilege when she won’t take her culture’s demise lying down. Meet Evonne Yeo, a young Malaysian who hopes to keep her culture alive one meal at a time through her restaurant Unicorn Cafe in Melaka, […]

  …for the Western palate, I mean. And some Asian ones. I was in Perth in June and eager to try the food of famed Australian chef David Thomson at his newly opened restaurant. For those unfamiliar with the name, David is a champion of authentic Thai flavours with awards to match. His Nahm restaurant in […]
