Celebrated my birthday here after seeing good reviews and an interesting course menu. Bookings was not hard to get if you do the second seating, however it does run until midnight which might be difficult for some. Sakizuke (Pistachio tofu, apricot, goji berry, wasabi chrysanthemum leaf, poached chicken) Zensai (Autumn delicacies) Each course is beautifully […]
あつた蓬莱軒 (Atsuta Horaiken)
A long overdue post of my all-time favourite unagi restaurant, I’m quite proud to say I discovered and ate at this place before finding out that it was a famously iconic restaurant in Nagoya. Going with their specialty Unagi dish will never do you wrong and even if you don’t particularly like unagi much (like […]
みやざき館 (Miyazakikan)
I’ve visited Miyazakikan twice so far and both times were very enjoyable and Miyazakikan is definitely making my list of recommended places to go in Osaka, especially if you’re craving good japanese steak. The prices here are also very worth it for the amount of food you get. Their menu is all course meals, and […]
神楽坂 おいしんぼ (Kagurazaka Oishinbo)
Stumbled on this alley-way gem by reading about it on a really old blog post. The restaurant was nestled among various other restaurants and they all seemed quite refined and away from the hustle and bustle of most of Tokyo’s nightlife. The menu is entirely in Japanese, and none of the staff spoke a lick […]
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 […]
Vlado’s
A favourite of my brother’s, Vlado’s is a grilled steakhouse that has a set menu of which your only choices are which cut of meat you would like. Though it doesn’t seem so, the restaurant fits quite a number of customers however I would advise calling ahead to book if you choose to visit. Aside […]
Tonkatsu Maisen
Happened upon this place when exploring around our hotel in Shibuya, and ended up going back another 2 times during the same trip! Tonkatsu is one of my favourite dishes and Tonkatsu Maisen’s dishes are mouth-wateringly delicious. Most tonkatsu look more or less the same, however I did go with a kurobuta (black pork) hire […]
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 […]
Entrecôte
A nondescript restaurant hidden inside Alfred Place, entrecote was a cozy, relaxing place for dinner. The interior decor was simple and also featured various ‘moving’ portraits which were very intriguing, as they would alternate with each others’ frames throughout the meal. We ordered a few small sharing plates to try such as the top left […]
Shiki
Visited Shiki for my mother’s birthday. We all went with the Keyaki set, which was 8 courses. It is teppanyaki-style with about 8 seats per teppanyaki table and 1 chef per table.. Below are the few photogenic courses. The sashimi was generously portioned, as you can see how thick the slices are. The tuna and […]
