Sushi Class, Surry Hills Posted in Food Chat, Japanese, Lunch, Sydney, East on 23 August 2010
Tagged with: Seafood
7 Comments
F’s sister called me up out of the blue last year and asked, “If I buy F a gift voucher for a sushi making class as a Christmas present, would you go with him?” Unhesitatingly, I said yes. I adore sushi and I thought understanding the work that goes into making it would make me appreciate it more when I’m inevitably nom’ing it down.
Hello from NYC #2 – My Food Trail Posted in American, Asian, Breakfast, Dinner, European, Japanese, Lunch, New York City on 16 August 2010

So for the past few months, I have been hard at work eating my heart out. Luckily I don’t own scales so I cannot say whether my body size has been affected by this, but I’m pretty sure it has. That’s one thing to watch out in NYC… the heaviness of the food!

Missing out on a veritable feast of all-you-can-eat ribs and whatnot at Cafe Ish made me terribly sad and somehow during my bemoaning of such misfortune, I ended up at an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in the CBD with Ffichiban and Ninja.
Ju Ju, Kings Cross Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Japanese, Sydney, East on 18 June 2010
Tagged with: beef, Seafood

Ju Ju is exactly how I remembered: the warm, wooden decor and the pits! I love how the tables are basically sunken and you have to sit on square black cushions. We poured over the various laminated menus provided, taking quite a while to decide on what to get. We were so spoilt for choice – it was so hard to choose!
Tokonoma Shochu Bar & Lounge, Surry Hills Posted in Dinner, Japanese, Sydney, Surry Hills on 16 May 2010
Tagged with: cocktails, fusion, modern
18 Comments
Right, so where do I start. I guess, Tokonoma for me is a breath of fresh air for decent modern/fusion Japanese or whatever you wan’t to call it. They nail it spot on in terms of service, ambience, design, food and drinks. It blends in perfectly with it’s sister store Toko on Crown st and is a great place to catch up with friends if you start a tab and not have to worry about the bill until the end.
Picchu, Sapporo Posted in Around the World, Japan, Japanese on 15 February 2010
12 Comments
It’s funny how three out of my top five meals in this recent Japan trap were from non-Japanese restaurants. Picchu is certainly one of them, the fact that I traveled halfway around the world to Sapporo and spend a good ten minutes trying to find the place with the taxi driver and still walk out very happy with my meal is a testament to the food and the restaurant
Japan trip 2010, Tokyo and Sapporo Posted in Around the World, Japan, Japanese on 12 February 2010

I’ve been to Japan three times and I always seem to find something new to enjoy each time. The first time was in 2004, when we didn’t eat sushi or sashimi at all. I then went again in February 2009 for the Socceroos vs Japan match and I ate raw chicken and cod sperm. During [...]

Nested in the back streets of Elizabeth Bay, near the back of Kings Cross, Blancharu is another gem worth trying in this area. Around the Kings Cross, Potts Point & Elizabeth Bay area, you will find most cuisines to your desire, and the quality is top notch.
Iwa, Chatswood Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Japanese, Korean, Sydney, Lower North Shore on 20 January 2010

Iwa drew us in with its dark-coloured, contemporary fancy decor, which made it stand out from the random stores featured on the Victoria Avenue mall strip, but it was the all-you-can-eat buffet for $36.80 caught us hook, line and sinker.
Emon, Surry Hills Posted in Japanese, Sydney, CBD on 4 January 2010
8 Comments
With the abundance of japanese restaurants around Sydney, the experience I had at Emon was different. The service was warming and friendly, the food tasted healthy and interesting and the overall experience was fun (especially with the Badukan & Sake tasting set.)
If you’re in the area looking for some comfort food, Emon should be your pick.
Pepper Lunch & Azuma Cafe Posted in Dinner, Japanese, Sydney, CBD on 24 December 2009

Pepper Steak has been a staple on George St for about 2 years, it’s hard to miss the yellow awnings as you walk past on George St. To those unfamiliar with the concept, Pepper Steak specializes in meat dishes which are served raw on their own sizzling platter. The platter is super heated thus cooking your food for you at your table.
