Rockpool Restaurant & The Power of Twitter (part 2)
Read the first part here. Sometime a go I went to a Michelin star restaurant, The Kitchin, in Edinburgh. The restaurant was awarded one Michelin star for excellence in 2007, and the chef, Tom Kitchin, is the youngest ever Scottish Chef proprietor to receive one. The list of awards the restaurant has been collecting is [...]
Rockpool Restaurant & The Power of Twitter (part 1)
Rockpool, 2010 best restaurant in Sydney according to Time Out magazine, which also scored 3 gongs (best new restaurant of the year, wine list of the year, and maitre d’ of the year) from 2010 Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Awards, has just opened its Perth restaurant end of last year. Excited to try one of [...]
Not My Lucky Day
On one Sunday mr.mck and I decided to go for a brunch, and since the day before we had a quite successful experience with Boucla Cafe using the book “The Food Lovers’ Guide To Perth” as our inspiration, we decided to check another spot listed in the book, and we decided this time to do [...]
Hello From Down Under (3) – G'day!
Last Friday was the day of that marked our 2-week settlement in Perth. But we are still in the adjustment phase, where we compare everything here with what we used to have back home. From what I’ve learned in my settlement course 2 years a go when I moved to Scotland, normally the first phase [...]
Hello From Down Under (2) – The First Shocking Moments
Shocked after landed in Perth under its glorious sunshine at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, I quickly reminded myself that we are no longer in Aberdeen, where it gets dark before 4 PM, where it is cold, windy, and wet all day. We were discussing the best option to get into our temporary apartment (Emirates [...]
Bart and 'Sweet Home Obama' Go International
Bartele Santema is in his element. I can imagine him sitting down in a dressing room, powdered-face, maybe a little bit of lip gloss and mascara to enhance his features, a stack of stroopwafels on the table, a glass of beer in one hand, practicing his lines, trying to remember all of his six bars [...]
Cranachan Is…
… Another Scottish dessert. Traditionally served during harvest time in summer but now can be found everywhere, it is made from a mixture of whipped cream (lots of it), whiskey, honey and fresh raspberries topped with toasted oatmeal. The dessert is very light, not too sweet, beautiful to serve, easy to make, and a mixture [...]
Domestic God(dess)
Cooking is something – I can say this with confidence – that many Indonesians don’t master. Generally we are spoiled rotten by our family who can afford maids (or sometimes maid and cook), and by the widely available good and cheap food on every corner in Indonesia. Because of this, some people never visit their [...]
Haggis, Black Pudding, White Pudding
Haggis, a traditional Scottish dish, is – according to Wikipedia – made of the following ingredients: sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal’s stomach for about three hours. Today the dish is prepared in a casing rather than an actual [...]
The Fake Trade
The Fake Trade, a documentary by Channel 4, written and directed by Nick Hornby (yes, the author of Fever Pitch, About a Boy, and High Fidelity), was aired on Monday night, 3 March 2008. It took us to see the inside of the counterfeit industry. The documentary opened with BASCAP arranging the biggest anti-counterfeit conference, [...]
