New Food and Packaging / Ghostbusters cake
February 18, 2012 | New Food and Packaging | by Gerry Mak |
Kids these days have on idea who the Ghostbusters were, so you can pretty much be sure that this cake is made for someone in their 30s. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, just not something the ‘Greatest Generation’ would have done, just saying.
New Food and Packaging / Bar Petite in Newcastle
February 9, 2012 | New Food and Packaging | by Tristan Rayner |
Newcastle is developing its reputation as being a major hub (out of Sydney) for emerging art and culture. Along with that, the bar scene is slowly transforming from loud mega-pubs to small, dark, intimate spots, slightly off the beaten path and all done with style and pizzaz. Bar Petite is a new establishment close to Newcastle beach, housing a mix of French colonial touches, a polished timber bar and a modern Australian menu. The atmosphere is relaxed, the meals a mix of tasty snacks and larger mains, and the wine menu draws on the best of local Hunter Valley drops. I ate there a few weeks back and was particularly impressed by the cosmopolitan decor and the pleasantly adventurous flavouring of the foods. Read more

Any tried and true foodie in Buenos Aires is an assiduous follower of Chef Diego Felix’s’ closed door restaurant, Casa Felix. Typically, however, his inspired pescatarian eats are only available a few months out of the year in Buenos Aires while the rest of the time, the Felix clan travels through Argentina, San Francisco, New York, Puerto Rico, and Latin America, generally, hosting closed door diners around the world. Luckily for all of us here in Buenos Aires, his contemporary yet distinctively regional fare can now be found in private events around the city as well thanks to the super exclusive Oasis Clubhouse.

New Food and Packaging / New Shanghai restaurant in Newcastle
December 3, 2011 | New Food and Packaging | by Tristan Rayner |
The Lost At E Minor crew in Newcastle aren’t spoilt for choice in the way of yum cha, and even with the promise of a night of wine and dumplings, the location of the New Shanghai restaurant was at the Charlestown Square mega-mall. Let’s admit, suburban shopping centre Chinese hasn’t often been authentic, nor worthy of visiting more than once. However, as you step onto the pebbled-floors amongst a wooden ambiance to feast on assorted dumplings, there’s a sense that authentic and delicious noodles and dumplings have finally arrived, even if it’s not quite where you might have expected.

New Food and Packaging / We Are Tea
November 24, 2011 | New Food and Packaging | by Sunil Pawar |
Anyone who knows me knows I am partial to a nice sip of vodka. But in the day time, it’s a different matter, well before midday anyway. Then it’s all about the mighty cuppa. And We Are Tea share the same passion. Operating from opposite St. Pauls cathedral, not only do they have a cool tea shop, but they make their own award-winning blends. Trust me, these guys are turning the art of tea into alchemy.

Austin band The Low Lows are one of my most prized finds of the year so far. It’s introspective music — staggered harmonies delivered by a distant, agonised voice that filters through a wall of tranquil guitar distortion and measured drumming. Every instrument carries a powerful emotion, sometimes keeping their distance from one another, floating up and around the airwaves, and other times colliding and crashing back to earth.
