It’s been a very Good Food Month for me (heh heh), with breakfasts at Single Origin, Asian street food with Sydney top chefs, and crazy awesome bites at the Night Noodle Markets!
This time, it’s lunch, at yet another Surry Hills hotspot, Nomad.

Good Food Month is always a great time of year to explore new cuisines and cultures, but at The Malaya this year, I’m looking into something that is a little closer to home, something that I grew up with.
Peranakan – or Nonya – cuisine is borne of Chinese and Malay influences, much like the culture. They are notoriously laborious and involved, but also yielded insanely delicious and aromatic results.

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.

And they were sure present at Asia Town – a celebration of Asian Street Food, seen through the eyes of amazing Australian chefs.

It’s all burgers and fried chicken this week at Insatiable Munchies. Maybe it’s the hot weather. Maybe it’s the tantalising smell of when hot oil meets meat. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s my last hurrah before swimsuit season descends upon us like a good looking man at the beach: great to look at but a lot of effort to attain.
But we try anyway.

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.
Did you know that bees are facing a real danger in Australia?
