Jozo by Sven-San – Paddington, Sydney

Jozo by Sven-San – Paddington, Sydney

  You might have noticed a new restaurant / cafe pop up on the corner of Oxford Street in Paddington. It’s right near Centennial Park! The house its in has gone through many different iterations, but it looks like SVEN-SAN is here to stay. We went […]

Izakaya Yebisu – Sydney CBD

Izakaya Yebisu – Sydney CBD

  Hands up if you love yakitori!!! If you do (and who doesn’t really – it’s grilled meat on sticks…) then IZAYAKA YEBISU is the place for you. It’s a traditional izakaya-style Japanese restaurant, which means it has many small dishes on the menu that are […]

Millhouse Restaurant – Arrowtown, New Zealand

Millhouse Restaurant – Arrowtown, New Zealand

  If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ll see that I’m currently in New Zealand with my mum! We’re staying in an incredible resort called MILLBROOK RESORT which is actually located near Arrowtown, a little town about 30 minutes out of Queenstown. It’s all incredibly convenient […]

Madame Shanghai – Darlinghurst, Sydney

Madame Shanghai – Darlinghurst, Sydney

  Continuing with the birthday adventures from last month…S, DS and I checked out MADAME SHANGHAI for my second birthday dinner. The address says it’s in Darlinghurst, but really it’s on the edge of Hyde Park so that’s pretty much the city to me. The restaurant […]

Yakitori Jin – Haberfield, Sydney

Yakitori Jin – Haberfield, Sydney

  So…I love yakitori. There’s no doubting that. It all started with Yardbird in Hong Kong, followed by Yardbird in Sydney (!) and other amazing yakitori places like Yakitori Yurippi in Crows Nest. There’s something about the small skewers that appeals to me, as well as […]

Holy Duck! – Chippendale, Sydney

Holy Duck! – Chippendale, Sydney

  If you know DS, you’ll know he loves duck. It’s definitely in his top 5 favourite foods. So, naturally, we got very excited when Matt from Cardinal Spin invited us to check out the new dinner menu at Holy Duck! in Chippendale! The restaurant has been around […]

Sasaki – Sydney

Sasaki – Sydney

  For DS’s birthday this year we thought we’d sort of re-live our honeymoon in Japan and head to Sasaki. In my opinion, it’s pretty much as close as you’ll get to Japan in Sydney!     The whole place is incredible. Starting from the fact […]

Gudetama Cafe – Singapore

Gudetama Cafe – Singapore

  I’m not going to lie…the Gudetama Cafe was maybe, possibly, actually, really, the highlight of our trip to Singapore. We also may have been slightly delirious with excitement when we made that judgement. It’s kind of funny that we made sure that this was on […]

Yakiniku Great – Central, Hong Kong

Yakiniku Great – Central, Hong Kong

Was Yakiniku Great our highlight meal of this Hong Kong trip? Probably. It was definitely pretty GREAT though! It also wins the award for cheesiest restaurant name. For those who don’t know, yakiniku is the Japanese cooking style of grilling meat. So they’re pretty much saying they […]

Meen & Rice – Repulse Bay, Hong Kong

Meen & Rice – Repulse Bay, Hong Kong

We were lucky enough to have some amazing weather while in Hong Kong! It was so unusual for April. I’m talking about clear skies, warm, sunny days. It made total sense then to spend some days with my cousins and nephew playing in the sand […]
