Travel and food – for me they are inseparable, so I jumped at the chance to visit Eveleigh Farmers Market on a recent short trip to Sydney.
Brilliant Food – that just about sums up Eveleigh Farmers Market!
Brilliant Food produces an award-winning range of smoked seafood products.

Independence Palace, Ho Chi Minh city
A visit to Vietnam’s Independence Palace in Ho Chi Minh City – a must for history buffs and retro fashion fiends.
