Recommended by locals, I found out via Google that Shiosai served both local delicacies of Kagoshima, which was a great chance for me since I had been having a lack of appetite after getting some serious motion sickness spending the night on a cargo ship. The 2 local specialties of Kagoshima/Yakushima were Kame no Te […]
The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant
As a celebration for my graduation, I experienced Melbourne’s tramcar restaurant, something which has intrigued me from the first time I saw it pass by on the streets. The restaurant does 3 different meal times, each differing in course length and travel time. We opted for the early dinner sitting which was 3 courses and […]
Burma Lane
After passing by this restaurant a while back, my friend and I decided to try out Burma Lane to see if the food was as good as the decor. The interior was surprisingly spacious, and it even has a second level, however it wasn’t needed when we visited. The tables were nicely spread out so […]

Kawaii Monster Cafe
Saw a video about this restaurant on Facebook and thought it would be interesting enough to give it a try. You can see a short clip of us entering the restaurant here.

Recommended to me by my sister-in-law, I went with a friend to check it out. As you can see above, the menu is short and simple. For those unfamiliar, boat noodles […]
Zauo: Fishing Izakaya
Zauo has various restaurants across Japan and we were lucky to have one near our hotel. The restaurant’s selling point is their indoor fish pond where you have the opportunity to fish for your own dinner! Apparently each restaurant is designed a little differently, and as you can see here the one we visited had […]
Ganso Kujiraya (元祖 くじら屋)
The sign out front says it all: “We are a whale meat restaurant.” The meals come in sets (like the one at the bottom) with you choosing how you want the whale meat prepared for your main dish. Left to right from the pictures we had: raw whale sashimi, whale skin (separate dish), whale steak, […]
