Ted Tastes Francesca Feasts

Hey foodies! 👋 It’s Ted (the Taste Master) and Francesca (Queen of the Feast), and we’re kicking off our epic food adventure blog Ted Tastes and Francesca Feasts with one final, flavour-packed day in our hometown — Sydney! 😢🍽️

We’re about to take off on a mega journey through Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia & Singapore as we move back to the UK from Australia (yep — big stuff!), but before the passport stamps and noodle slurping begin, we had one last delicious hurrah in Mosman. Here’s the bite-by-bite breakdown:

🥪 Breakfast: Roastville Rocket Fuel

We kicked things off at Roastville, a favourite spot for a morning munch.

• We both went classic with a toasted cheese & tomato panini — crispy, gooey, salty perfection.
• We washed it down with a green juice (yes, we’re fancy now) and coconut water, which made us feel like we were already on a tropical island.
• Dad did his usual Flat White Fan Club thing and called it “the perfect cup.” He even stocked up on fresh beans like he’s planning to open his own café in Vietnam. ☕️

🥗 Lunch: Avenue Road Favourites

Next stop, Avenue Road Café, where things got serious.

• Mum and Dad both devoured their go-to slow cooked chicken tikka salad — it smelled like a spice bazaar and looked way too healthy.
• We shared a toasted chicken schnitzel wrap (crumbly goodness) and sipped on Oreo milkshakes thick enough to bend a spoon.
  Honestly, 10/10 — would shake again. 🥤🍗

🍰 Afternoon Tea: Petal-Powered Sweetness

Later, we met up with a family friend for one of the prettiest cakes ever created by human hands:

• A Black Star Pastry orange cake, topped with edible flower petals. It looked like it belonged in a fairy tale and tasted like citrusy magic.
  Francesca declared it the “most Instagrammable dessert in the southern hemisphere.” 🌸📸

🍝 Dinner: Meatball Madness and Goodbye Feels

To wrap up our day (and our Aussie chapter 😭), we had a proper home-cooked feast with some of our best family friends:

• Homemade meatballs, fresh tagliatelle, and piles of garlic bread.
• There were laughs, hugs, and a tiny bit of sauce on our shirts. Okay fine, a lot.

So that’s it — our final day of feasting in Sydney! We’re off to eat everything Asia has to offer and share it all with you, one bite at a time. 🍜✈️🌏

Stay tuned — next stop: Tokyo!
Sushi, skyscrapers and slurpy noodles await…

Stay hungry, stay curious!
– Ted & Francesca 💛
