Only yesterday afternoon did I realise we actually had two Schnitz vouchers to use before the end of the month. This time I went for the Si Senor (minus Ranch sauce) on turkish bread roll. Dad had the Hey Habib roll. The Si Senor was definitely more tasty than the grilled vegetable one from Monday. The bread was OK, but the wrap is much better and also easier to eat - there were quite a number of chicken pieces in my roll so it kept falling apart. I've previously had...

Today will probably be the last of the restaurant vouchers we're using out of the 2011-2012 Entertainment Book. I haven't been to Schnitz before, so it was a nice surprise to find out I could substitute the Schnitz for non-crumbed chicken fillets. Both A2 and I chose the same thing: a Vegged Out Wrap - Moroccan spiced non-crumbed chicken fillets with roasted vegetables, Spanish onion and tzatziki. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the wrap, which looked a lot more appetising than the photo I...

A2 and I took a trip to Grill'd to use an Entertainment Book voucher before it expired. A2 ordered a Garden Goodness veggie burger ($11.50), whilst I decided to go for one of the three new burgers on the menu: Hot Hombre ($12.50). It's a chicken burger with spicy black bean salsa, cheese, avocado, tomato, Spanish onion and a tortilla chip. After flashing my student ID I also managed to score a free drink (available on Mondays and Tuesdays). The veggie pattie was very...

Off to Zen for Mother's Day, a cosy little Japanese restaurant on Burwood Road. Me - Grilled teriyaki unagi ($23.90) A2 - Miso salmon grilled in foil ($20.90) Mum - Kaiseki bento ($27.90) Dad - Wafu steak ($23.90) There was also a large selection of sake available, and the menu included a short description of each one. The bento box came with miso soup, mixed rice, teriyaki chicken, sesame salad, sashimi, sushi, tempura and ice cream (a choice of sesame, green tea or vanilla). A2 said her salmon was tasteless. There wasn't much sauce left...

This place just opened nearby, so we went to check it out. Mum's been here before so she knew what to order. This is what we shared: - Large Beef Pho ($9.50) - Special Broken Rice w. Pork, Egg, Vermicelli-Fungus-Pork Meatloaf, Julienned Chicken etc. ($10) We accidentally ordered the char-grilled chicken broken rice instead of the special broken rice and didn't realise until it arrived at the table. Although we offered to take it away and order an extra dish, they kindly changed it over. I haven't had much Vietnamese food in the...
