Good Food Month adventures 2014, Captain’s Log:
After absolutely stuffing my face at the Single Origin, The Malaya, Nomad, The Henson, Asia Town, and the Night Noodle Markets, it’s now time for The Great Texan Smokeoff at the Erko, featuring their brand spanking new smoker!

Eastwood has stealthily become a bit of a food hub, what with places like The Mandoo opening and offering amazing noodles and dumplings, and other stalwarts like Jean’s Chilli Chicken continuing to offer their brand of fire breathing late-night eats!

I’ve often said that I’m on a diet all year so that I am allowed to gorge during Good Food Month – and with events like the Night Noodle Markets and Asia Town, I think I’ve gotten my diet’s worth.

We all know that the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Month has always been about the food – like the ever popular Night Noodle Markets, for example – but sometimes, in the midst of all the gorging, we forget that it’s also about the chefs!

What is contemporary Chinese cuisine?
That was the question that I was hoping would be answered when I attended a discussion with Brendan Fong – head chef of Mr Wong – as part of the Celestial Tables Exhibition presented by the Museum of Sydney.
I was going to write an introduction for this post. Then I realised, FRIED CHICKEN DON’T NEED NO INTRODUCTION!
So I will say: fried chicken with oozing melted cheese. Interested?

Bees and honey have always piqued my interest. After all, it’s something that we take so for granted – it’s always felt accessible to me, whether it came from a little plastic bear or not – but not something we take care of, it seems.
