“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

CHEONG LIEW AT WAH HING

Here's a snap I took last night of my great and longstanding friend, the chef Cheong Liew, while we dined at Adelaide's rockin Chinatown restaurant, Wah Hing. In the seventies, I watched this man invent what became known as Fusion Food in his Neddy's restaurant in Hutt Street, just around the corner from my old joint. How lucky am I! And that's my photographer comprade Milton Wordley on the right. You shoulda seen us go.
