Came here on Saturday night so I was able to try the dinner menu (which they've actually started serving all day on weekends). I was still sort of full from dinner last night so I went with something light. As can be seen in the photos, there was a nice charcoal-y taste on the top and bottom of the tofu but the inside remained moist and soft, and whilst I don't usually eat teriyaki unless it's with unagi, this one wasn't too sweet and was very good with...

A group of us decided to celebrate the end of block 3 with dinner. Originally we were going to go to Chin Chin, but for various reasons changed the location to Red Spice Road (the MacKillop St branch).We were fortunate to score a table in the private room, which was much quieter than in the main area. I assumed the menu was the same as what was on the website so I didn't take a photo. As a result, some of the descriptions for these dishes are rather...

The first time I heard of N2 Extreme Gelato was when I walked past the Sydney store back in August last year. Whilst I don't usually eat ice cream, I do find gelato more appealing and it also looked like an interesting concept. Mum and I thought we'd go back to visit after dinner, but unfortunately we completely forgot about it even through we took the same route back to the hotel. Since then I discovered that it was actually quite famous and highly rated, so I was kicking...

During lunchtime, Darac's most popular menu item by far is their lunch special, which consists of rice/fried noodles, a main e.g. bulgogi, teriyaki and a side. The medium size is $10.50, whilst the large size is $12.50. Instead, I went for the bibimbap ($13). There was also a prawn bibimbap but I thought I'd go for the more conventional beef today. On the menu there was a choice of either spicy or mild. I picked spicy and couldn't tell the difference between it and normal bibimbap. Maybe they...

Mamak is best known for its roti, but today I thought I'd go for the lamb murtabak (with cabbage, egg and onion $12). I was told there'd be a 15 minute wait for the murtabak, but it came about 12 minutes after I placed my order. It was served with two curry sauces - fish and veggie - and a dollop of sambal. I haven't had a proper murtabak for a long time, so I don't remember what they'd supposed to taste like. The fish curry had a...
