Gyo Japanese Restaurant, Townsville

Dragon roll

When we had dinner out in Townsville over the Easter weekend, I instgrammed a photo of the sake-tini that Panu had and when someone asked where it was from, I said “a Japanese restaurant in a little town.” My sis-in-law jumped all over that in a second claiming that Townsville is in fact a “city”. But then, why call it TOWNsville?

Heh. I digress.

hidden gem: Goen Japanese Restaurant, Glebe

Ok, people. How cold was it in Sydney today? I mean, I get that winter’s on the verge of falling through our doorstep but really? It’s April! I hadn’t planned on unpacking my michelin man coat for another month! Or am I just being a whinger? I suppose I did just spend the weekend in glorious tropical Townsville soaking up the 30+ heat, so anything sub 20 is unacceptable to me right now.

yes, I had a Wimpy cheeseburger

There are a number of misconceptions about me. For example, the misconception that I like to shop. I don’t. Or the misconception that I’m an extrovert (because, you know, I like to talk). I’m not. But the most common misconception of all is the very wrong expectation that I am a food snob.

I am so not a food snob it’s not even funny.

she blogs! Bukhara: venturing out for Indian in Johannesburg

rogan josh

I’M ALIVE! Yes, yes I am. My last blog post was exactly one week ago, and believe it or not, this time I can’t point an accusing finger at my Instagram addiction. I’ve actually been way over here in Johanneburg, South Africa, hidden in the depths of corporate conferencing, barely surviving six days straight of 7.30am  to 10pm sessions / networking dinners.

I’m tired.

Today has been the first time I’ve gotten back to the hotel at a reasonable hour and I could not wait to have a loooong hot shower, order room service and BUM. And by “bum”, clearly, I mean “blog”.

happy Friday! lunch @ Makanai

I know I’ve been a little bit slack with posting lately. My consistent three-posts-per-week has gradually dropped to two, and if I didn’t come up with this impromptu post today, it would have been one this week. Not that I feel pressured to post. Blogging is actually down time for me, and something I “do” to “relax”.

Yes, I unwind from being on my laptop all day… by being on my laptop all day. True story.

bite sized: a pretty darn good burger @ The Burger Joint

Next hit up on Project Burger: The Burger Joint in Darlinghurst.

Don’t be fooled. This place might look like a shabby little hole in the wall, but what comes out of them is actually pretty awesome. With a menu scrawled on the wall, they offer combos to suit all tastes; burger? cheese burger? cheeseburger with gherkin? salad anyone? They even have an option to customise your own burger, condiments and all. WOAH.
