Maybe it was the ambience, maybe it was the weather, or maybe it was the company. But I reckon the fish & chips at The Geelong Boat House is one of the best I’ve ever had.

The batter’s crisp and light, the barramundi flesh beneath firm yet tender, moist but not greasy. And those chunky, hand-cut fries do potatoes their deserved justice.

The bistro is set on a refurbished boathouse looking out to sea, so you get a gorgeous view to take in while enjoying your meal 💯 .

Who else makes it a point to check out McDonald’s when traveling to other countries?

Down under in 2017, they had their signature French fries smothered in creamy truffle mayo and real Parmesan cheese shavings.

And that sticky, gooey salted caramel filling in the classic Macs’ crispy, blistered pie pastry was also something to remember.

It’s been almost 3 years, but I still remember how darn good this burger was. It had a mean beef patty that was perfectly seasoned and all the fixings – lettuce, tomato, beetroot, onion, cheese, egg, bacon and pineapple – loosely assembled between fluffy herb and garlic focaccia.

And because Australia is famous for its pies, we had to have the homemade beef pie.

We made this impromptu pit-stop for lunch based on Google reviews during our road trip on Great Ocean Road. If we can find this homey little place again, we’ll definitely be digging into that burger again.

Not the best steak I’ve had – I usually prefer mine more seared on the outside so it gets that really appetising crust in contrast to the tender, pink, medium-rare centre.

But the sides are to die for. The hand-smashed Potatoes deep-fried in beef fat are worth ordering a double portion of.

It doesn’t look it, but trust me, this pasta – one of TCC’s National Day specials – will set your tongue a-tingling! And I appreciate this because I do prefer my chilli crab-inspired dishes spicy rather than sweet.

If you want something milder, though, you can try the Chicken Satay Burger!

Watching Korean dramas has me craving for Korean beef – which the country, sadly, does not export.

But when I do get to have it in Seoul, my go-to for K-BBQ is Maple Tree House for its quality and affordability.

Been craving this lately because the Korean dramas I watch keep featuring the characters enjoying Korean BBQ.

The Koreans don’t export their Hanwoo beef, but when I do get to have it in Seoul, Maple Tree House is my go-to for its affordability and quality.

By the way, this pic was taken during my solo trip to Seoul last October, so I had this entire slab of Hanwoo all to myself ☺️ .

@jyu07 asked for Seoul food recommendations earlier and it gave me major cravings for my favourite jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk from HongKong Banjum 0410+. I swear by the tangsuyuk – chewy deep-fried pork in a goopy sweet and vinegary sauce; it’s the best I’ve had anywhere.

This is a brand run by a Korean celebrity chef and there are apparently many outlets all over Seoul, but I’ve only been to the Hongdae branch.

I first visited here when I was traveling solo and was majorly stoked to find that HongKong Banjum 0410+ offers jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk combos that are PERFECT for single diners (swipe to see the pic). If you’re familiar with Korean food, you’ll know that their portions are usually huge, so downsized options for lonesome individuals are a godsend!

Everyone needs to try the CurryBoru – my personal fave, the Bara Chirashi Ebimayo Aburi Don, the signature Volcano Beef Don and Snow Beef Don, and the Crispy Salmon Skin!

Bread is probably one of the most versatile foods – there are so many variants that can be enjoyed in so many different ways, and Global Baker Dean Brettschneider’s bakes from his Baker & Cook brand prove just that.

Now available at 7 Cold Storage and Market Place outlets are five types of Baker & Cook sliced loaves ($6.50-$7.50 each):
• White Sourdough – the mild flavour is ideal for both sweet spreads and savoury fillings.
• Country Sourdough – good for pairing with cold cuts.
• Soy & Linseed Sourdough – very nutritious as it’s high in protein, fibre and omega-3.
• Cinnamon & Raisin – I liked eating this on its own as a snack.
• Cheese & Onion – my favourite of the bunch, this is yummy as it is, but even better lightly toasted; use this to make croutons for soups and salads, or for savoury sandwiches – you won’t even need to add sliced cheese because the bread is generously studded with diced cheddar!

Much love from me and my family for these ice creams from @icecreamcookieco. The textures are all incredibly smooth, and they have lots of flavours besides the ones pictured here, so there’s definitely something for every preference!
-
I’m torn between the refreshing Açaí Berry sorbet and the luscious Chendol ice cream – dairy-free, yay! – while the Tiramisu was a hit all around the table. The Matcha Mochi gets a big plus for the little chewy rice balls mixed in!
-
You can pick up your pints at Cold Storage, Jason’s or Marketplace stores, or have them conveniently delivered to your doorstep if you order through Redmart!

Just tried Aloha Poké for the first time last week and I must say I really enjoyed it. Portions are huge and the taste is on point. They’ve also just introduced five new Premium add-ons such as ikura and jellyfish, and three new Standard add-ons so there’s plenty of variety to build your dream poké bowl with.
-
Exclusively at their Amoy Street outlet is a range of seven Tiki Treats, served during dinner hours, and they are perfect for downing with beers after work. My favourite from the tasting has gotta be the Poké Pie Tee, a two-bite snack of crispy cups filled with crunchy jellyfish slivers, poké, pineapple and ikura!
