We spotted this udon restaurant and decided to check it out. We remember waiting at least an hour in Tokyo to try the famous Himokawa Udon, and now it’s here in Melbourne! The place is called Yamamoto Udon. The first bite? Absolutely amazing. The noodles are chewy and perfectly textured! The restaurant offers two types […]
Where to find Sydney’s Best YakitoriÂ

Their set menus are priced at 69 AUD and 89 AUD per person (the difference is in the starters: 69 includes a […]
Monopoly-Themed Cafe in Melbourne
Who would have thought, the Monopoly game we loved as kids has come to life! This place has been open for a while, and we visited this place again last week. It wasn’t crowded at noon on a weekday. After finishing the games, there’s a themed café right next door. The cafe’s decor and menu […]
Sydney The Grounds has opened an industrial-style cafe
We checked out The Grounds’ newly opened coffee factory (you can Google The Grounds Coffee Factory) in South Eveleigh. It was pretty cool to see the whole coffee-making and packaging process while eating. The overall green, vintage industrial style is exactly my vibe. The staff wearing green jumpsuits were adorable, and there was also a […]
Sydney’s Michelin Ramen – Mensho Tokyo
When Mensho Tokyo first opened, we heard from colleagues that there was a two-hour wait, so we decided to wait until the hype died down before trying it out! And last week we finally had the chance to try out this recently popular Japanese ramen restaurant that has a long queue and has won a […]
Oh!Matcha has released a series of cherry blossom ice creams and drinks
If there’s one must-visit spot in Sydney, Oh!Matcha definitely makes the list. Remember back in 2017, a friend recommended it, so we made a trip to Town Hall Regent Place to try this matcha ice cream shop! The portions were generous, and the taste left a lasting impression! Their matcha is neither too sweet nor […]
Tofu Shoten – A Long-Awaited Reopening After Over a Year
After being closed for over a year, Tofu Shoten is finally reopening. We couldn’t wait and rushed over on the first day! The stock was full of everything we wanted, and we ended up buying more than planned! The new shop space is beautiful, and parking nearby is convenient. In such a trendy neighbourhood, there […]
A Sydney Ramen Shop that Feels Just Like Japan
One of Sydney’s hottest ramen spots recently, the Ramen Auru. One of our friends took us to this ramen place. It felt just like a restaurant in Japan, with the tatami seating we’ve always wanted to try, something we missed even when we visited Japan! Here you will find very Japanese-looking vending machine only prints […]
New Truffle Honey Cake at Deli Republic
We were simply amazed by the truffle honey cake from this Sydney deli – Deli Republic, Rosebery. In addition to selling ham and making sandwiches and paninis, they also sell some small grocery items like pasta sauces, canned fish in oil, and small Italian snacks. And they also sell some cakes, such as Eastern European […]
The Famous Sydney KOI Dessert Bar Finally Comes to Melbourne
We received a VIP email saying KOI (opened by a MasterChef) has opened in Melbourne. We can’t even remember how many years KOI has been around. We’ve been enjoying it in Sydney for the past seven years. The store has changed locations twice in Sydney, but there’s always a beautiful and delicious new item each […]
