I’ve been seeing kale chips all over the internet for the last year or so but because kale is oddly hard to find where we live I never tried them until today. If you’re already a kale chip convert feel free to nod knowingly and scroll on, this post is for the newbies. My mother-in-law…

Elk Espresso at Broadbeach.
When my friends Pete and Mem came down for the weekend and asked where we should eat for lunch, the only cafe that sprung to my mind in my furious Gold Coast cafe review splurge was Elk Espresso at Broadbeach. There are lots of cafes down here, especially at Broadbeach, but finding one with a…
Malaysia Kitchen Insider: Sayang Malaysian, Paradise Point.
With a lot of sadness, my Malaysia Kitchen jaunt was rounded out with dinner at Paradise Point’s Sayang Malaysian. Apparently my desire to try a Malaysian restaurant outside our suburb was “weird” according to Nick, and akin to driving across Brisbane for a meal. That didn’t put me off, I’ve certainly driven across town for…
Malaysia Kitchen Insider: Kampung Malay, Robina
Our third Malaysia Kitchen jaunt took us to the Kampung Malay at Robina, one of three in the Kampung family (the other two are in Mudgeeraba and Bundall). I did my obligatory internet research on all of the possible Malaysian restaurants on the south end of the Gold Coast, and Kampung won me over with…
These things came out of my pen.
I’m trying really really hard not to let this drawing thing go, but I have a feeling I over-did it yesterday. That’s the sort of thing that I’m really good at, I throw myself into something until I burn out! I’d rather not burn out, in fact it kind of scares me, so I will…
Happy day Dad.
In Australia and a bunch of other countries it’s Father’s Day today! Happy day to all the fathers over the world, and also love to those with fathers who aren’t here. I made my Dad a cupcake diorama displaying his little boat “Bite me” in a choppy ocean. Of course there are some inaccuracies. His…
Malaysia Kitchen Insider: Little Malaya, Coolangatta.
After all the excitement of the last few weeks I’m a little behind on my Malaysia Kitchen exploration! We dined at Little Malaya, Coolangatta on Thursday night after doing some research on Malaysian restaurants on the Gold Coast with more than a few vegetarian options. Nick had enquired about vegetarian dishes at another restaurant but…
Malaysia Kitchen Insider: Chilli ‘n Spicy Hut, Burleigh.
The Chilli ‘n Spicy Hut at Burleigh is the first excursion on my Malaysia Kitchen Australia tour. I can see that it’ll be a catalyst for exploration of the Gold Coast’s restaurants, which is pretty important because getting to know a city’s foodie offerings makes you feel that much more settled! So I took Nick…
Natalie’s Big Day Out.
Today was super busy for me and I’d been dreading it a little because the last few months have been fraught with social anxiety and even though I’m starting to pull up out of it, it’s still a challenge. In this blog post bonanza I have TWO (2) outfit photos for your sartorial pleasure as…

Tonight on Disaster Chef… [insert flame visual]
I have been craving roasted cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar reduction for the last week and tonight was the first night in a long time that I’ve had enough energy to cook. So I decided to righteously address my craving and because it was such a momentous occasion I took photos. Seriously, when you find…
