Written in Collaboration with Cruise1st Australia A delicious recipe for making banh xeo (crispy Vietnamese pancakes) at home. 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 (formerly Saigon) in always fabulous Vietnam, a great country to explore […] Read more…
Feel like a seafood sizzle with a twist, try our irresistible recipe for Cambodian stuffed barbecued squid. 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 […] 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…
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…
I must confess that I’ve never been a juicer or blender, the whole green smoothie craze passing me by in a verdant vegetable-based blur. But a recent blip on my previously glowing health report card has meant a different approach to nutrition for me, at least for the foreseeable future, as I get my out […] Read more…
Raffles is something of a curry aficionado and in his eight short years has built a tolerance for heat that leaves most adults slack jawed. The kid likes it hot! So much so that in Phuket, he virtually bathed in the stuff. When restaurants would ask how we’d like our curry, based on a heat level […] Read more…
Raffles loves a good obsession and his latest is with Cambodia, a country that Mr Eats World and I explored pre-parenthood when we were still spry and wrinkle-free. Interestingly, and until now unbeknownst to my adventurous boy, I’m still more than a little obsessed myself. My own fascination harks all the way back to my childhood (no, not […] Read more…
I’ve written previously about our unhealthy obsession with hot steamy balls. Octopus balls that is. Before you get excited, I’m not talking about the gonads of an octopus (which, incidentally, are located in their heads… should you ever happen to be looking), I’m talking takoyaki, those dangerously addictive spheres of flour, eggs and dashi, studded with octopus pieces, ginger and green […] Read more…
When I was growing up, back in the days when the paleo diet was all about eating actual dinosaurs, salad pretty much meant tomato, cucumber and lettuce in a bowl. We’re talking of a time when kale and quinoa were unheard of, chia seeds were used to grow the grass-like fur on faddish 80’s terracotta […] Read more…
Raffles has loved seafood since he was a baby. Pre-teeth he would gum down bowl after bowl of fish congee and flaked salmon. By two he was gnawing on prawns and demolishing plates of fresh fish. Soon enough he was eating it raw, and is still a sucker for any kind of sashimi. In fact, […] Read more…
I’ve never been one to get excited by celebrities. I mean, they’re just people with strange jobs that put them in the public eye, right? In fact I’ve probably offended more than my fair share of stars with my ambivalence/lack of anything resembling a clue. For example, many years ago when I was young, frivolous […] Read more…
