I dined at Tao’s Restaurant a few years ago and had a good impression of the place. The landscaped gardens, pagoda and the natural, wooden interior gives it a feel that it’s in the countryside. A hidden oasis. If you drive past it, you’d probably think it’s a regular Chinese restaurant because of it’s name, […]…
I was digging through my old photos and realised that there were a few meals I haven’t yet blogged about but would be a shame if I didn’t because I quite enjoyed them. One of them was Shoya. I used to dine here all the time with Yuye, that was before my blogging days. After […]…
“Does my hair look good? How about my makeup? I’m feeling butterflies in my stomache.” Said a high school girl on the train that I overheard once. “You look fine sweetie. Don’t stress, he’s not going to notice.” Replies her friend. “But first impressions really matter and I want to look my best…” said […]…
I must say, eating out in Melbourne is starting to get a little difficult. Why you ask? Because of the queues. Perhaps it’s because everyone’s turning into a foodie so all the good restaurants almost always have queues. One of the longest queues has to be Hakata Gensuke in the Melbourne CBD. The line […]…
As a child I’ve always wanted a cupboard under the stairs so I can hide there when I’m sad, or play hide and seek with my friends. But the harsh reality was, we always lived in a single storey house. While many of my friends had that luxury, I could only go to their houses […]…
Are you looking for a good after work drink spot? Do you enjoy cheap and tasty gyoza? If you answered yes then you should consider visiting Gyoza Douraku. Situated in the middle of the Russel Street in the CBD, it’s in a great location for after work drinks or even a light dinner with a […]…
It felt just like yesterday when Melbourne had no good ramen. Now it seems a new ramen joint is opening up every second day! Finally people have caught onto just how hungry we Melbournians are for a good bowl of thick porky soup and springy ramen noodles. As you’ve guessed, a new ramen restaurant called […]…
A number of weeks ago I attended a blogging event that didn’t turn out as expected and we had to walk out half way, not wanting to waste any more of our time and their food. It doesn’t happen all that much so we were suddenly thrown into a state of despair…where in the world […]…
I’ve mentioned before that there isn’t any good ramen restaurants in Melbourne. The only place I crave for all the time is Gumshara in Sydney. For those of you who like ramen but haven’t yet been, you’re seriously missing out. Dining here will change your way of life…it will become the ramen you always compare […]…
For my birthday at the end of last year, I was lucky enough to dine at not only Vue de Monde but also Tetsuya’s in Sydney. We managed to take 4 days away from the shop (while my poor brother slaved away) and we decided to just go to Sydney to relax and eat as […]…
