Matts restaurant guide - Low Fat: December 2006
http://mattsrestaurantguide.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Matts restaurant guide - Low Fat. Sunday, December 17, 2006. Was a big disapointment. I have been here twice before, the first time was years and years ago, and i only really remember the company, not the food. At the most recent time was Kate and my first date back in January 2005 - so I'm sure everything tasted great that time! Snails (one dozen) in the shell, garlic butter. Sandrines entree was nicer - as you would expect, but they were quite small. Confit Duck with sweet potato, baby spinach and Oran...

Matts restaurant guide - Low Fat: October 2006

Matts restaurant guide - Low Fat. Monday, October 09, 2006. How to make black bean steamed chicken feet! Like at yum cha, but without frying! Get your feet and cut off all the nails. Then fast boil for 30-35 minutes. Then cover in soy sauce. It needs to be dark, so i used double premium soy, and dark mushroom soy. Then leave them, turning occasionally, to soak it all up. Then mix a bit of corn flour and cold water and add to thicken the sauce. Transfer to serving bowl, spoon over sauce, and eat!

Details of my travel whilst on the road. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. I am also tossing up buying some alcohol here, seeing i won't get any duty free from here in. well i wont within the E.U., and i am not sure if the lay over will give me a chance. i am sure its much cheaper in HK. So things are getting off to a good flight. Still, i have half an hour to kill before boarding - and now that we are in the customs area all the food and drink prices have gone up another 50% - theiving bastards. 29-Dec-05 Med...

Details of my travel whilst on the road. Sunday, October 30, 2005. The hostel i am at is quite good, it is only about AUS$25 for a single room without private bathroom - and it has free internet and breakfast, as well as a kitchen, and a REALLY helpful host who has good english. The room is very basic, and the walls are literally paper thin (made of paper! And well thats enough really! This is the fast train i took down to Gyeongju - and on the left is just a picture i took of a town we passed at 300kmh.

Matts restaurant guide - Low Fat. Friday, January 20, 2006. I accidently posted this message in the wrong blog! So i have put it back in here as well - sorry! You'll notice this isnt the usual creamy sauces and heavy foods associated with French cuisine, but this is the eclectic mix i had whilst in France. First up some good old sushi - which actually wasn't great, but i was dying for sushi by this stage of the trip. A delicious mango desert Christophes mum prepared. Before and after frogs legs entre.

Matts restaurant guide - Low Fat. Friday, November 17, 2006. Mukunghwa Korean in Glebe. Best Korean I have had in Sydney. The food, ambience and service are all fantastic. This is not fine dining - it is casual, fun but very delicious and fantastic value for money! Above - the beef. Side dishes, clockwise from top left its a bean sprout dish, sweet flavoured potatoes, vege pancakes and seasoned garlic stems. A mash up photo kate did on her fancy camera. Above and below the bek se ju. My list of gripes:.
