  • Chefs Gallery, Regent Place, Town Hall

    A long overdue catchup dinner with bestest of friends Ellis and a proper revisit at Chefs Gallery Town Hall, with pictures this time! I first came here in Feb 2014 and again two months later in Apr 2014, and really quite enjoyed my meals. I was glad the friend chose this as the venue. We…

  • A Flash in the Pan

    “How much is in a serving size? Watch how much food you eat with these easy-to-remember references from everyday life.” Ah, so a typical shotgun shell is about the same size as a 28g sausage. And now the non-gun owning population of the world knows. #Murica rolleyes

The fruit platter I got on my flight to Cairns wasn’t quite a platter for variety. It got better on the return trip with 6 different fruits…

  • Food and Catering at Pullman Cairns International

    We stayed at the Pullman Cairns International Hotel for the duration of my half business half pleasure work play trip in Cairns, and for the week we had various foods from the hotel restaurant and catering, starting every day with a delicious breakfast at the buffet! Buffet Breakfast I absolutely loved the breakfast buffet, and…
