Crave SIFF – Cabramatta Allsorts Barbecue 2010

October 4, 2010

Tiles of toffee-crisp pork crackling on a whole barbecue roasted pig is a sight to behold.

Malaysia, day two. The food tour group’s first day on the road leads us to a bubbling cauldron of meat, bones and end trails, with a little toil and trouble; a flash flood and a growing dislike for a deity; seafood with a lyrical name; and taking a fresh approach when facing an arch nemesis [...]

A Journey of a Thousand Meals – the heart of Malaysia & Thailand: Day 1

June 1, 2010

A journey, when seen through the rose-tinted perspective of a metaphor, is one that not only implies a sense of adventure, but also a degree of change and growth in one’s self. A recent journey (in the literal sense), a food-centric tour of Malaysia and Thailand, with fellow food bloggers Billy, Helen & Minh, along [...]
