Growing up in Singapore, fish ball noodles was one of my favourites. Never knew the soup is simply made with Ikan Bilis! (Dried little fish). The egg noodles I got at a grocery store in Cabramatta were so good. Mee Pok was always my choice of noodles. #umamidiary #comfortfood #fishballnoodles #noodles #うちごはん #singaporeanfood

@bellabruttapizza make their own charcuterie. Impressive! Best pizza in Australia so far. Would be surprised if I can find anything better. #pizza #pizzagram #sydneyfood #sydneyfoodie #pizzalover

Favourite pizza place in Australia so far 😋 clam pizza @bellabruttapizza the base is very thin but the crust is super puffy and glutinous with a beautiful char. #pizza #pizzalover #pizzagram #sydneyfoodie #sydneyfood #newtownfood #clampizza #clampie #ピザ

So would this watermelon strawberry cake be as popular if it weren't considered Instagrammable? It actually tasted better than what I was expecting but it's quite difficult to eat because the whole cake collapses as you try to dig into it with a fork. The watermelon either needs to be thinner or more ripe. I liked the hint of rose syrup/water though. Now I've satisfied my curiosity and I'm not sure if I'd go back for more 😅 #cakesofinstagram #ケーキ

On my way home from Cabramatta I figured I might as well stop by the Black Star bakery in Newtown and finally try their famous watermelon cake. Kind of weird they have this all year round... I'm sure it tastes better in summer 😅 #watermeloncake #cakesofinstagram #cakegram #instacake #blackstarpastry #sydneyeats
