Bedlam Bar, Glebe
The handsome stranger sidled up to me whilst I was ordering at the bar, it’s pronounced “poo-tan” in his heavy Canadian-French accent. He winked and smiled before getting up to leave. Ah my romantic-weak-in-the-knees encounter ended as quickly as it had begun :’) Nestled in the Old University Hall on the corner of Glebe Point Road and Parramatta Road, Bedlam Bar is a popular haunt for nearby university students, particularly exchange students living on campus and locals. 
Bedlam Burger - ground beef, beetroot relish, gorgonzola cream sauce $14 *all burgers served with chips
Having been on a bit of a burger quest with my buddy K, who by the way takes his burgers very seriously, it wasn’t long before Bedlam Burger made it on the list! Thick, juicy patty cooked perfectly, blanketed in gorgonzola cheese with a sweet and tangy beetroot relish to balance the creaminess. If you’re not a huge fan of blue cheese, you may want to opt for a different burger. K gave a big thumbs up to the wholemeal sesame seeded bun :)
Ladies Lunch Platter @ The Stoned Crow (platter for 4 people)
It had been a while since I had last caught up with the lovely Grace and seeing as she had just come back from her exchange trip to China, a group girly catch-up session was much needed! Having been to the other small bar establishments under the Lil Darlin’ group, I knew The Stoned Crow - Crows Nest, would not disappoint. Beautifully decked-out interior with an enchanted garden ambience but still very casual. Shortly after sitting down, the locals started filling the place up. Great place for a drink - has a Surry Hill vibe. 
Cheers! A drink to good health :)
Champagne comes with the ladies lunch platter
Salt & Pepper Calamari w/ nahm jim & aioli
Crispy Chicken Drummers w/ chipotle mayo & chili sauce
Golden and flavoursome bites of tender calarmari dipped in creamy aioli and a lighter alternative with the sour tangy nahm jim sauce were gone in seconds. And the crispy chicken got nods of approval.
Having come back recently from my holiday to Hong Kong, I’m already having post-holiday blues so I decided to do a recipe post (paired with a giveaway! see below) on four typical Hong Kong cha chaan teng (diner/cafe) drinks. Plus I just wanted to show-off these fancy Bodum glasses that keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for longer ^^ and they’re easy to handle! 
Hot Ribena Lemon - “yeet ling bun 熱檸賓”
A delicious alternative to honey lemon water.
Ingredients:
- Ribena
- Lemon
- Boiled Water
Method:
1. Put two slices of lemon into a glass.
2. Add about an eighth of the glass with Ribena syrup and use a spoon to muddle the lemon to squeeze out some lemon juice.
3. Top-off with hot water and stir to combine.
Just came back from a 2 week holiday to Hong Kong, Guang Zhou - China, and Macau ^^ regular posting will be back this week! Anyway, thought I would share these cute bad laundry day superhero outfit swap pics that I found in a bits & bob art shop in Hong Kong.
