  • Fruit Platter on Qantas Flight QF407

    Sydney to Melbourne short domestic flight QF407; a full flight filled with business people, including yours truly. Special meal fruit platter was still available for order. Breakfast: a predictable small apple, banana and soy milk. I still don’t entirely know why they think people who choose to eat fruits would want soy or to avoid…

  • Fruit Platter and Flight Meal on Qantas Flight QF121

    QF121, Qantas short-haul international flight from Sydney to Queenstown, economy class. The flight was just over 2 hours, but I could still order the special meal fruit platter. Fruit platter: main platter in bigger chunks than usual with skin and rind; side bag contained small Red Delicious apple, small banana, dried cranberries (donated to Richard),…

  • Mejico Miranda, Westfield Miranda

    On our new quest to try every restaurant at Miranda Fair, we stopped at Mejico Miranda for dinner tonight, which I was feeling a little ambivalent about. On one hand, I’m not a huge fan of eating with my hands in public; on the other soon to be dirty hand, we do love our spicy…

  • Awards Dinner Event at Doltone House Hyde Park

We dolled ourselves up after work (which for me really just meant I slipped on a dress), brought our partners along, and gradually regrouped at the…

  • Gelato Messina, Miranda

    Are you ready for an obscene amount of gelato photos in one post? The whole saga began when I first heard about friends driving out specifically for a gelato run (people do that?), and then later someone else asked me what my favourite gelato place was (none at the time), what I thought of Gelato…

  • Hurricane’s Grill, Brighton Le Sands

    Another year, another end of NBA season, another basketball tipping competition awards night dinner at our trusty ribs place, Hurricane’s Grill at Brighton Le Sands! Richard was last year’s winner (his first participation, too) and came a super close second this year, but it’s not like that would stop us from stuffing our faces! The…

  • Tuk Chop, Canberra Airport

    If I had known there were only 3 food stops at the Canberra Airport terminal, I would have had a proper dinner elsewhere given all the time I had before the 8 pm flight back to Sydney. I thought about protesting at the airport by going on a hunger strike, until I had a closer…
