Supa Baga only opened recently, but it’s already all over my feed. It’s a Japanese-style burger shop with that relaxed Aussie feel mixed with Japanese flavours, which suits an Asian stomach really well. A few of us went to try it, and we ended up trying three burgers between us. The shop is on Chessell […]
Dora’s Table Carlton Reviews
Carlton has another Japanese café worth bookmarking. Dora’s Table used to be Nijuusan, the shaved-ice shop, and it’s now taken over by Dora. The first bite of the taro roll cake got me. The sponge is incredibly soft, and it’s packed with taro cream, light but dense. It isn’t one of those Swiss rolls where […]
Attakai Japanese Cafe Carlton Reviews
Japanese Matcha and Sando Cafe Near the University of Melbourne A few of us from work were scouting for somewhere to eat near Melbourne Uni and ended up picking Attakai at random, purely because the penguin logo was so cute! It’s a Japanese cafe on Bouverie Street in Carlton, all matcha and sandos, and the […]
OMO Cafe Melbourne CBD
Wandering around a random laneway in the city and stumbled onto this place tucked underneath the WSP building. Straight onto my regular list after one visit. Small, easy-to-miss entrance, the kind of door you’d walk right past if you weren’t looking. Push it open and everything goes quiet. Retro solid wood mixed with industrial concrete […]
Hinoya Curry Melbourne Review – Tokyo’s Kanda Curry Grand Prix Winner Opens in the CBD
Hinoya Curry has finally opened in Melbourne and I was so keen to get in there! It’s a curry chain from Tokyo that won the Kanda Curry Grand Prix in 2013, it has over 100 stores, mostly in Japan, and plenty of people plan a trip to Japan just to eat at it. I go […]
Miyama Melbourne Reviews
I found Miyama Melbourne by accident. I was walking past and the window display pulled me in, the way a really well-styled shopfront does. Once I picked up the menu, I spotted something I hadn’t seen in years: London Fog. London Fog was something I used to drink all the time back when I was […]
Nana’s Green Tea Melbourne Review
Nana’s Green Tea on Swanston Street is a Japanese matcha cafe near RMIT, and I went there with a friend to try it out. I’d seen it come up a few times online and finally had the chance to stop in. It cost about $45 a head, which felt reasonable for the amount of food […]
Newly Opened Japanese-Style Matcha Cafe in Melbourne – Matcha Kobo
There’s an actual matcha shop in Melbourne’s CBD, a milling stone, and an authentic Japanese-style setup with mats! They’ve soft launched, so they’re not very well-known yet, but on weekends, they’re already incredibly busy because word of mouth recommendations have spread. That’s why we recommend going on a workday. On Wednesday, we only waited 10 […]
