Concern about finding the restaurant will be quickly forgotten once you step inside Boragó. Minimalist furnishings tending toward cold austerity juxtaposition the exceptional warmth of the service. The FoodieMookie crew settle in for what is an impressive culinary adventure of the Endemica menu. A menu which explores Chile's "corner of the world" on a slate, [...]
Good Friday probably is not the wisest of times to visit a restaurant in South America, but having just arrived from the airport and feeling the vague dis-orientation of jet lag the Foodie Mookie crew set out to try the first of Santiago best dining. Arriving after a short drive from the accommodation, Mookie is [...]
Selfie restaurant sits in a building beside one of the 7 sisters of Moscow, buildings built during Stalin's USSR. Some-what ironic when entering what can only be described as a Bolshovic style restaurants full of wealthy business people and the idly wealthy Moscovites. Another restaurant from the acclaimed team at White Rabbit (arguably Russia's most [...]
After a night at the highly acclaimed Bolshoi Ballet, the Foodie Mookie crew hit the cold streets of Moscow's heart in search of food. We had been advised by the hotel concierge that Cafe Pushkin, 10 minutes walk away, was open 24 hours. The 'cafe' in name is quite deceptive, as upon entry it is [...]
It being Christmas in Moscow with the temperature outside sitting at a cool -4 degrees C, the Foodie Mookie crew choose local Russian cuisine for lunch. Nothing like some strong rich Russian flavour to drive out the chill left from braving a veritable snow storm on the walk from the Crew's hotel to the restaurant. [...]
Mookie was flying back from her culinary adventures in Thailand and Cambodia and asked that one of her crew meet her in Melbourne to dine at Attica (see the Attica review here). Wanting to try the dishes of Peter Gunn, since the last time the Foodie Mookie crew visited Attica, a booking was made at [...]
Wanting something to do after travels in Singapore and regional NSW the Foodie Mookie crew book in at the last minute for a meal at Oscillate Wildly. Having heard good things about this restaurant, and read a recent article perused on a flight back to Sydney has reminded it is on Mookie's list of places [...]
Having the last day of a long weekend to spare the Foodie Mookie crew and friends looked around for for a foodie day trip destination. Pookie had asked "where is Bowral" a few times when looking through regional NSW dining so on this day the Foodie Mookie crew chose Biota Dining and made a booking. [...]
Having over-indulged the night prior (see Burnt Ends review here) and then sampled some of the best modern Singaporean food to be found (see Wild Rocket review here) the Foodie Mookie invited a friend to visit a bastion of fine dining french cuisine - Les Amis, which has been around since the 90's. After its [...]
Having spotted Wild Rocket in the Asia's Best Fifty listing and noting that the cuisine was coined "Mod Sin" for Modern Singaporean by the lawyer turned chef, Pookie knew that he must make time to visit. A lunchtime seat was available at the counter for the Omakaze menu in this very zen restaurant which unlike [...]
Its been a few years since last Mookie and her crew dined at Restaurant Andre. What stuck in the mind was the cute sheep standing beside the table for Mookie to sit her handbag on and the fact that nearly every sentence uttered by the wait staff included the words "Chef Andre". Andre himself had [...]
Having only just arrived to Singapore, Pookie meets a colleague at their office which just happens to be a short walk from what is literally the hottest dining experience in this tiny island nation. Ironically Burnt Ends serves Australia BBQ. Walking on over to enquire as to the availability of a walk-in table we are [...]
