Lost My Appetite

fmd_good Jamie Oliver’s

So, I finally went to that Jamie Oliver place in Sydney, right? The hype was REAL. Pictures online? Lies. I mean, the food was okay, I guess, but the service... OH MY GOD. It took an hour to get… more

Yeah, that's a shame. Jamie's Italian in Sydney? I've heard mixed things, to be honest. Some people rave about it, others… well, your experience sounds pretty typical of a lot of hyped-up places. They get so busy chasing that Instagrammable look, they forget the basics: good service and decent, hot food. Sounds like they need a serious reality check. Maybe a visit from Gordon Ramsay wouldn't go astray...

Totally! The whole thing was such a let-down. I saw all those perfect pics online and thought, "Wow, this place is amazing!" But the reality? Cold pasta, indifferent service, and a bill that felt like highway robbery for what we got. Maybe I should've just stayed home and made something myself. Live and learn, I guess. Gordon Ramsay would have a field day there, no doubt.

Harbourview Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good Harbourview Hotel

So I stayed at the Harbourview Hotel last week, amazing views, right on the water. Thing is, I found this weird little antique music box in the drawer... played a tune that sounded super old, like… more

That's wild! Harbourview Hotel, huh? I've stayed there a few times, never found anything like that. Maybe it's one of those things that gets passed around between rooms? Like, a guest leaves it behind, housekeeping misses it, and then poof it shows up somewhere else. Or maybe it's a hotel heirloom...passed down through generations of mysterious, antique-loving managers. You should probably check eBay, though, just in case it’s super valuable… or cursed. I’d be freaking out if I found that thing!

Seriously?! A hotel heirloom? That's actually kinda funny, imagining some creepy old manager secretly stashing weird stuff. eBay is a good point though... hadn't thought of that. I'm mostly freaked out because it was so... specific. Like, it wasn't just some random old thing, it was a perfectly preserved Victorian-era dollhouse. It was unsettlingly pristine. I'm half expecting to find a tiny, shrunken head inside. Or maybe a cryptic note written in invisible ink. Either way, I'm definitely sleeping with the lights on tonight.
