Jidori – Covent Garden, London

Jidori – Covent Garden, London

I heard about JIDORI in the Monocle travel guide book I think, something about a well-priced yakitori restaurant. And well-priced it was! They serve an omakase menu (kind of like a degustation or tasting menu) for just £30 per person, for the whole table only. […]

Fou Fow Ramen – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Fou Fow Ramen – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

  Well I’ve gotta say: we really didn’t expect to find decent ramen in Amsterdam. After trying out DE JAPANNER and realising that Amsterdam might actually have decent Japanese food, we thought we’d give FOU FOW RAMEN a go, since we had walked past it a few times already. […]

De Japanner – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

De Japanner – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

  After spending around 2 weeks in Germany (where, in Hamburg specifically, the Asian food isn’t THAT great) we were really craving some Japanese when we arrived. We had no expectations of Japanese food in Amsterdam at all, just that DE JAPANNER had been recommended in the […]

Gaku Robata Grill – Darlinghurst, Sydney

Gaku Robata Grill – Darlinghurst, Sydney

  I often say how lucky we are to live in such a diverse food area like Darlinghurst. We have a myriad of options to choose from, most of which was only a few minutes from our doorstep! GAKU ROBATA GRILL is one of the most recent […]

Edition Coffee Roasters – Darlinghurst, Sydney

Edition Coffee Roasters – Darlinghurst, Sydney

  If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that EDITION COFFEE ROASTERS pops up a fair bit. That’s because a) we love it, and b) the food and coffee are next to none. We’ve also known the guys who originally started it for nearly 10 […]

Ronin – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Ronin – Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

  Having dinner at RONIN in Hong Kong is truly an experience. Firstly, you’ve got to actually find the restaurant. It’s in one of the tiny streets in Sheung Wan, pretty much at the end of the street, down some stairs and then there’s a grey door […]

Ramen Bari-Uma – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Ramen Bari-Uma – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

  Ramen is obviously winter food, so we were so excited to find a really great ramen place in Hong Kong. I’ve never really used Open Rice before but RAMEN BARI-UMA came up as number 1 in Causeway Bay so we thought we’d check it out! […]

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 […]
