Egg Sake Bistro

Egg Sake Bistro is a little underground Japanese place that does beers and Japanese food. Its in Melbourne Uni. They also sell grocceries. They have pickled ginger for $1 and big boxes of curry for $10.
They have a wide selection of beers, wines and other japanese drinks. They have happy hour where all the drinks are priced from $4-$6 from 3pm-5pm each day that they are open. Here I had a green tea for a $1. It was nice.
All their meals are under $10. Most of them are priced between $6 and $7. They have a wide range of vegetarian and meat meals. You can make your bento. They do have a special of 2 sushi rolls for $4.50. I had these and they were very filling. I had the tofu one and I think the other one was chicken. The rice was nice and moist, not like some of the other sushi I've had. I loved the tofu one the best as this was fresh.
There's virtually not much service but the prices and the food here is good. There is a drinks counter and a food counter. Good for those days when you only have loose change.
It would be good to have drinks with friends here. It is trendy to uni students both from Melbourne Uni and RMIT.

Breizoz French creperie

Loved the ambience,
Loved the decor and most importantly loved the food.
The staff were very witty and charming which is not what I usually say for most people.
It was not busy and very quiet having just opened.
I can see why people love this place and crave for good, but very expensive crepes and ice creams.
Now I'm going to let the pictures of the lovely, lucious place do the talking

The coffee comes with a little coconut kiss which you can buy in packets to take home. And these are homemade. Yummy!

My crepe which came with yummy homemade ice cream ($3 extra) on top.

Cool I say! Free coffee any day!

dinner at Kam Fook in Chatswood

On Saturday the 28/4/12 I went to a friend's wedding in Sydney and it was here I had dinner at Kam Fook seafood restaurant. It had 32 tables of 12 to it.
It was here that service was a bit slow. There was no champagne, which I would have liked. Instead there was wine provided, coke, juice and tea provided. There wasn't a lot of tea. Even so there weren't many refills. There were heaps of juice and coke refills which is not normal for a banquet.
There was a lot of seafood here as this was a seafood banquet. Here we had sucking pig with jellyfish, lobster, fried seafood rolls, shark fin soup, prawn sticky rice, chicken, some sort of vegetables, fish (not sure what sort, but it was steamed), e fu noodles, red bean soup, almond cookies and fruits. There wasn't a lot of things there as the server served up everything. I'm not sure how much the banquet was as I did not pay for this, but it looked expensive.

The sucking pig with jellyfish was the worst ever. The jelly fish was limp and dry. But I loved the shark fin soup and fried seafood rolls. I didn't have the lobster, but what I heard from other tables was that it was really good. The prawn sticky rice didn't have any prawns in it and the e fu noodles was really overcooked. They were so overcooked that they broke apart and they are not meant to

I didn't have the chicken as I was nearly full, so can't comment on this.
The fish was just ok.... not great though and they could have provided a lot more spring onions and sauce. The vegetables was just a tad overcooked.
I loved the dessert, except for the limited choice of fruits.
Overall the food was mediocre except for some of the seafood dishes. The grade that I'd give the menu is a 4/10. I'd never come back here again, unless someone paid me to.

Japan city

Japan city is a shop as well as an eatery at Westfield in Chatswood. I went there last weekend whilst I was at a friends wedding. It had just opened.
Here they sold some cute but really expensive Japanese items. They had a 30% off everything sale for the month of April. Here I bought a pair of really cute Japanese chopsticks for $5.90.
Here there was a competition where someone can win an iPad, Headphones or a $100 voucher from them. It ended on 31/4/2012.
Japan eat street inside Japan city had just opened and I was inspired to try something within that city so I did with a group of friends.

The buzzer and my tea

Some of the stuff sold in Japan City

Here they had six worlds and this was just like a food court in Japan. They have plenty of seating and I loved the lighting and atmosphere. It is just like Japan.
But unfortunately to my friends dismay the coffee machine broke down and wasn't working. So we ended up going elsewhere for coffee. But meanwhile we ordered one bento ( I don't know the price of this as they offered to pay for lunch for me), one cold soba noodles ($10.90) and one eel sushi ($18.90). I also had one green tea ($2.00) from the tea place.
Everything was expensive but good, unlike the meal at Kam fook. The desserts looked really cute though.
The waitress was really friendly and they gave us a buzzer so that when the food is ready we come up and collect the plates. And when we finished they collected the places. Too bad that they don't have a sake bar.
I'd only come back for a special occasion.
