Cambodian’s love a little charred protein. But they do things a bit differently to we Aussies when it comes to chucking another shrimp on the barbie. You see, they love stuff on sticks. And not just any old stuff… every old stuff. In the interest of bringing the world to us while we’re in isolation […] Read more…
It’s no big secret that Raffles loves a dumpling. And when I say loves, I mean with a passion equalled only by that of a seagulls for chips. In fact, if eating dumplings were an Olympic sport, he’d bring home Gold. In every event. Including the relay. This is a child who considers Xiao Long Bao (pork […] Read more…
The food of Myanmar is a little more oily and a little less spicy than what we’re used to in Southeast Asia, and it is is not quite as diverse as foodie neighbours Thailand, China and India, but influences from all three mean there is an eclectic variety of flavour packed food. And while undertaking our #escapers17 […] Read more…
Everyone knows that Hokkaido is home to some of Japan’s best sushi and seafood, and given it is just a hop, skip and a halfpipe away from snowy Siberia, some of the country’s best skiing. But what they might not know is that the island, the northernmost of Japan’s main islands, is also the home […] Read more…
Dinnertime is a big deal in our household, and not only because we’re a fairly gluttonous crew, though there is no denying that is a huge factor. Despite the gluttony, it’s more important because it is the time of day we reconnect and refuel after our busy days. Dinnertime is a ritual that provides consistency and […] Read more…
Written in Collaboration with Cruise1st Australia We’re a family of avid cruisers and have sailed far and wide. But one of our all-time favourite ports is busy, buzzy Ho Chi Minh City (the former Saigon). Famous for the pivotal role it played in the end of Vietnam War, the city is now the country’s pulsing […] Read more…
When Raffles heard that brand new animated kids series, Legend Quest, was a kind of Mexican fantasy comedy-horror period mash up, he did what every good taco and TV addict would, and immediately settled in to binge-watch the entire series. And for once having him sitting square eyed in front of the box didn’t get too […] Read more…
This post was written in collaboration with Kitchenaid One of the things we loved most about Japan was the matcha flavoured… well, everything. From chocolate and desserts to noodles and coffee, there’s nothing the Japanese can’t turn that pretty shade of matcha green. Indeed, so ubiquitous was the verdant powder that we formed a little […] Read more…
Bunny chow. No, it’s not snack food for rabbits. Nor are the cotton-tailed cuties an ingredient. In fact the popular South African street food has absolutely nothing to do with bunnies of the fluffy kind. South African Bunny Chow is essentially a half a loaf of white bread with the inside scooped out, stuffed full […] Read more…
Something wicked this way comes. Yep, Halloween is on its way. And though once – Queen of Darkness though I am – I dismissed Halloween as an overly commercial American holiday and rolled my heavily-kohled eyes disparagingly in its general direction, I am now a total convert. My little ghouls on the other dismembered hand were […] Read more…
On a scale from one to ten, Raffle’s obsession with Harry Potter comes in at a wizardly nine and three quarters. So enchanted by Harry and his hocusy pocusy pals is my wee muggle that he’d already read all seven books twice before J.K Rowling’s newest ode to Harry, The Cursed Child, hit the bookshelves […] Read more…
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the supermarket, Woolworths have gone and launched another collector’s card series. Yep, that means the kids are suddenly going to be desperate to go grocery shopping again. Yep, they’re going to become more and more obsessed with collecting every single card and desperate for […] Read more…
Hi, I’m Aleney and I am not a boy, but the little dude next to me is! I’m a besotted mother, award-winning travel writer, magazine editor and gallivanting glutton. He’s Raffles, and all-singing, all-dancing, all-cooking, all-adventurous eco-warrior. Along with his intrepid sister, Sugarpuff, we’re exploring the world’s colour, culture and cuisine on a food safari junior style.
