Food Guide to Wellington: Logan Brown, Tatsushi, Charley Noble, Ortega.
This shall be a brief run down on several favourite places I managed to dine at during my short stay in Wellington. As I have said previously in my last post – Travel guide to Wellington – this smallish city is a melting pot for food. Read about brunch options, Wellington’s Sunday food market, and … Continue reading
Hihou | Nama Nama
From the limited dinner seating since opening last year, to now including lunch offerings and also afternoon tea, this little Japanese city bar – Hihou – has certainly spread its wings. Having stumbled upon Claire’s write-up recently, my interest perked on intending to go back, but also lamentably reminded me that I still had not … Continue reading
Value eats in Richmond: Soeul Soul | Maedaya
I have been dining a lot more in the Richmond vicinity of late, mostly because my sister now lives in the area.

When you have a full time job and eating out at all the latest trends (*cough* sometimes), finding time and motivation to churn out posts regularly is … Continue reading
Edomae
Sushi trains are one of my pet peeves, particularly the ones I have had in Melbourne. So when I heard that a new sushi train was in town, and it was going to be in Box Hill, I wasn’t particularly enthusiastic. But, after some persuasion from my sister, along the lines of not judging a … Continue reading
Suzuran
1025 Burke Rd Camberwell 03 9882 2349 Located on a fairly quiet strip of Burke Rd, the store is inconspicuous yet is almost always flocking with people. It is a retail offshoot of parent importer / distributor company Japan Food Trading, offering largely made-in-Japan Japanese ingredients – quality soy sauce, sushi making material, green tea … Continue reading
Almost Always Ravenous
