At last, in the Pizza Wars review series we catch up with my usual pizza restaurant. While I only bought pizza every few months, I previously had been relying on Arrivederci Pizzaria in Milton to satisfy my occasional pizza craving. Can it still stand up to the other reviewed pizzas? While Arrivederci Pizzaria can be […]
I have always been curious about the unusual flavours of Kit Kat available in Japan, but as they aren’t available in Australia, I have had to be satisfied trying the more ordinary versions. Kit Kat Chunky 3 is a version of the chunky Kit Kat bar that contains three different fillings at the top of […]
I keep incorrectly referring to this fruit as the ‘Chinese Gooseberry’ as that’s what we called the spindly plant that grew behind my Nanny and Pop’s shed, but when researching this on Wikipedia, I discovered it’s more commonly known as the ‘Cape Gooseberry’, and that Chinese Gooseberry is actually meant to refer to kiwifruit. This […]
After trying the Sunrice Caramel Rice Cakes I was keen to try the other Sunrice sweet flavoured rice cakes. I was aware of two more flavours — Honey, and Apple and Cinnamon. Although I haven’t been able to find the Honey flavour in any supermarkets, the Apple and Cinnamon variety seemed to be available in […]
As summer approaches for the Southern Hemisphere, I find myself returning to some of my favourite hot weather meals. One option, which I sometimes use for a Christmas lunch, is to collect together a variety of deli items such as olives, preserved meats like prosciutto, vegetables and spreads with some nice bread and let everyone […]
After my surprise at the Sunrice caramel rice cakes I decided to try another sweet rice cake variety. Table of Plenty’s Mini Rice Cakes certainly looked appealing, with the rice cakes coating in either chocolate or yoghurt. I decided to try the chocolate version as I was craving chocolate and wondered if this would be […]
As I don’t eat a lot of bread, I don’t find myself looking in the Coles bakery section all that often. However I do have a soft spot for the occasional sweet treat at a good price, and I’m a sucker for lemon flavours, so when I saw these cupcakes I just had to give […]
I was a little reluctant to order for my third review in the Pizza Wars series. I hadn’t eaten Domino’s Pizza for years and years, because a few experiences at work events had pretty awful, even for free pizza. But as I promised to review all pizza companies that deliver to my apartment, I had […]
Sometimes it’s hard to review products all on their own — they do so much better in combination with other things! So this review is a combination of all the products I used for this particularly tasty lunch: Vita-Weat Soy, Linseed and Sesame Lunch Slices Vita-Weat Lunch Slices are one of those products that do not […]
It’s easy to get stuck in a brand rut. The product works fine, so why change? It’s so easy to just put the same thing in the shopping cart every time. I decided it was about time to challenge some of my more ingrained brand habits to see what else is out there. My mother used […]
I had spotted these Sunrice sweet rice cakes on the shelves some times ago, and my first thought was ‘hmmm, how could that possibly work?’. I am used to rice and corn cakes being relatively bland wafers designed to hold up more tasty savoury ingredients. So how does a sweet rice cake work? What do […]
Water and tea are my standard day-to-day beverages, but sometimes it’s nice to have a change and satisfy a sweet tooth at the same time. Most supermarkets carry an enormous range of juices and fruit drinks these days so it’s easy to pick up a different type every time you visit. This bottle of Original […]
The second review in the Pizza Wars series will cover Pizza Capers. Marketed as a gourmet pizza experience, Pizza Capers should surely be ably to outstrip Pizza Miltonio’s dubious performance. I ordered two regular pizzas, which considering their size and the price are a little expensive, but Pizza Capers is said to offer fresher, more […]
Every Wednesday, a tiny patch of open space at the top of the Queen Street Mall in Brisbane bustles to life. Dozens of stalls are crammed into the small space, towering with piles of fresh produce from baked goods, to chocolate, flowers and of course fruits and vegetables. I’ve always been a fan of markets, […]
I’m back after a few weeks break with something a little different. This product takes a little work to review! I don’t mind cooking for myself, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to cut out a few steps and cheat a little. Cake mixes and other baking mixes can be very helpful when you […]

I like to keep my cupboard stocked with plenty of non-perishable ingredients ready to throw together into a quick meal. One of my favourite pantry regulars is the Barilla range of pasta sauces. I have always preferred the Barilla pasta over the other brands, so when the local supermarket started stocking other Barilla products I […]
I’m aware the latest updates to WordPress and my theme seem to have broken many images on this blog. I’m looking at the problem and things should be back to normal soon! Edit — The problem is now fixed! Thanks to the folks at Themify for helping me track down this issue.
For a long time, whenever I considered buying something new, my first stop was the internet. Only recently I realised how heavily I relied on online content when making shopping decisions — whether it was an indepth report from a professional reviewer or a quick few paragraphs from an’ ordinary’ purchaser. I spent time googling […]
