Din Tai Fung, Westfield Miranda
Everyone’s favourite Taiwanese dumpling place Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) opened yet another branch in Sydney. We previously visited one in Hong Kong, and later at Central Park after discovering for the first time that the franchise existed in Australia (yeah, we know).

Forty One, Club Cronulla

He treated us to Quarryman’s Hotel at Pyrmont tonight. Office gosssssssip. We grabbed a drink each (no alcohol for me, thank you) and ordered our food at the counter.…

Cenovis Vitamin Gum (Grape Flavour)
Received my free sample of Vitamin Gum by Cenovis, the grape flavour, today. It’s sugar-free (i.e. artificially flavoured) and actually tastes pretty good. I may or may not have finished the whole pack in one night. Good thing my digestive system didn’t think 12 pieces were “excessive consumption”! Anyone who already eats a diet rich…
