New podcast – Helen Yee, Grab Your Fork

Helen Yee is one of Sydney’s OG food bloggers. Even unreformed blog haters probably make an exception for her site, Grab Your Fork, which she started back in 2004 – before the iPhone was even invented, let alone Twitter or Instagram. Since then, Grab Your Fork has been listed as one of the world’s 50 […]

Confectionery surprises from Japan

I was lucky to recently receive a Japanese care package from Amy who runs the wonderful Pretty Pretty Yum Yum – a sugar-dazed blog full of the colour and hyper-charm of Osaka’s food and fashion scene. She also sweetly asked me to review some Kitkats that she kindly sent through, so if you’re choc-curious, you […]

Pretty Pretty Yum Yum (again)

Amy’s Pretty Pretty Yum Yum covers the highlighter-bright spectrum of food and fashion in Japan and is definitely one of my favourite blogs. Whether it features the delightfully weird (like Salty Chocolate Crunch or all-mayo restaurants) or just monumentally cute (smiley face ice cream, turtle-shaped bread), Pretty Pretty Yum Yum always manages to add a […]

Japanese eye candy

My friend Amy has started an awesome food blog while living in Japan. It’s early days, but already there are posts on the wonderfully eccentric goodies she’s found in Osaka. So far, I love the Hotel Mickey Cookies (see above) and the proliferation of strange KitKat flavours – such as Daigaku Imo (university sweet potato […]

Momentary diversion

Here’s a slight distraction – like someone knocking at your door when you’re about to sit down for dinner. I’ve just started another blog (or two!). One is semi (or fractionally) food related. You can get all mouseclicky with it over here. It’s called Recommended Daily Intake and is all about asking people what their […]

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.


About

This is a blog about eating and drinking in Sydney, Australia (with the odd cross-border or off-topic detour). BYO appetite.
