The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry | A Sydney Food Blog

New meaning to "tea light"

Pictured above is a very cool teabag light by South Korean designer Wonsik Chae. Steep the bag into a cup of chemicals and it glows. The special “brew” that activates the brightness is not Earl Gray or English Breakfast, but Fluorescent Molecules. (My fave blend when snacking on biscuits.)

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
