Seared Salmon Sushi

This sushi is so delicious! It melts in my mouth! I always order it with my favourite ramen, and they just complement each other. I’ll have this anytime!

Strawberry Watermelon Cake

I was always curious to try this pretty cake but never really had time until today when I saw that the cafe was not overly crowded. Strawberry layer, checked. Watermelon layer, checked. Delicious rose-scented cream, checked. Plus some rose petals on top, checked. All together, they melted nicely in my mouth!

Strawberry watermelon cake!

Uncle Tetsu’s Cheesecake

I’m liking Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecakes! They’re super soft and fluffy unlike the western counterpart. Uncle Tetsu’s is a popular Japanese cheesecake chain which just invaded Sydney. Give it a try. it might be to your liking.

Uncle Tetsu’s Cheesecake

I saw a video that featured Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecake and I thought I will give it a try. It’s different from the usual as it is fluffy. Never tried a fluffy one before until this one and loved it. It’s best chilled!

Best Pork Buns

One of my family's favourite to order at Ippudo is their super delicious pork buns! A slice of well-cooked, soft, savoury pork inside super soft bun! Definitely, a must-try! Kids love it too!

Teriyaki Salmon

This teriyaki salmon at Yayoi is a favorite. Paired with the ever sooo good rice plus a bowl of miso soup with seashells in it, oishi! I never get tired of it!

Matcha Anmitsu

It's my favorite Japanese dessert, Matcha Anmitsu. Matcha means green tea as it has green tea ice cream. Anmitsu is a popular Japanese dessert which has small cubes of jelly and a mixture of fruits. And it comes with a syrup to pour on to it. Delicious!

Mackerel Dinner

Another hubby's favorite is this smoked mackerel at Yayoi. It's fun to see him devour on this one till just a few fishbones are left. You can order it as a meal with Yayoi's renowned steamed rice (so good!), miso soup, a few sashimi and some side dishes.

Fave Ramen

This would be my fam's favorite ramen, the super good Akamaru Shinaji from Ippudo. It's not spicy so it's suitable for young kids and also can be ordered with soft noodles. Its broth is rich and garlicky and it comes with 2 pork bellies. Highly recommended!

Prawn Spring Rolls

A favorite at Umi Sushi, prawn spring rolls. They're crunchy, yummy and you can't stop eating them. Great as side while indulging into some sushi and nigiri.

Braised Pork Wrap

Unfortunately, it's not in the regular menu but this braised pork wrap is a bomb! So delicious. The pork was tender and its tasty sauce blended perfectly with the freshness of the salad wrap.

Teppanyaki Udon

I was looking forward to our main, teppanyaki udon. While on the wait, we could watch from our table the teppanyaki guys doing some fire show and food throwing exhibition. Great night with great food and fireworks afterwards.

Sashimi Delight

It was a day of craving for Japanese food so got some sashimi and some others for dinner while waiting for the Saturday's fireworks.

Spider Roll

My favorite spider roll, yum yum! For those who don't know, it's a sushi roll with soft shell crab in it. It doesn't have the fishy taste and if it's done fresh the crab is still crunchy. It also has cucumber strips that adds to its crunchiness.

Pan-fried Gyoza

A favorite at any Chinese or Japanese restaurant, pan-fried gyoza. They're filled with pork and perfect accompaniment of sushi. But if you're planning to indulge on more sushi, rather skip Gyoza as they can be heavy.

Japanese Dinner

Found my love on sushi and sashimi. This was definitely an enjoyable meal. Filled my tummy till it ached.
