Always book for 6 so you get a booth, the booths rock.

Stephen + Cam.

Cam loved the touch screen ordering system.

Asahi, served in record breaking time as usual.

Sushi Roulette! I was hoping our guest Cam would get the one which had copious amounts of wasabi in it, and too right he copped it!

Hot Sake, so good.

I love green tea ice cream but the black sesame at Wagaya was way nicer.

Great night last night. We took Cam to Wagaya last night. He’s a country boy, not had much Japanese at all so we thought we’d treat him to something different. He loved the ordering system, the food too even if he did cop the huge wasabi hit in the salmon sushi roulette!

Entrees – Salt and pepper chilli squid, Soft shell crab and crispy marinated quail on a papaya salad.

Mains – Steamed fillet of barramundi, warm duck breast salad, stir fried beef.

Dessert – The fanciest fried banana I’ve ever seen.

Had dinner with some visiting relos at Banana Palm tonight in Coogee Beach. I’ve eaten here once before, many years ago. They serve up Vietnamese Cuisine, nothing traditional, more fusion, so much so that I thought 2 of their dishes were outright Chinese, and nothing at all like the Vietnamese food I’m used to. Strange meal, really hit and miss. Some dishes were OK but some weren’t great. The fried banana dessert was almost saved the night except the pear on the plate was nicer than the banana’s themselves!

Sign and menu from the outside.

So much on the menu but my eyes always focus on this bit.

I always love checking out the $40k+ wines on the wine list, but we went for a much more modest Wynns Coonawarra 1994 Cab Sav Black Label (my fave drop of red).

We were there early and service was crazy fast.

Who needs fancy presentation when the produce is this good?

Cam and Suga.

Jason and Alison.

The Pavlova was massive. Cam smashed it too!

Haven’t had a great steak since the Tassie Trip so when Cam (who was with us in Tasmania) was in town we thought we’d line up a dinner at Rockpool Bar & Grill for a killer steak. Jason, who was also with us on the Tassie trip came too so it was almost like a re-union of sorts!

All of us were on Facebook the night before, starving just thinking about the steak, and Rockpool didn’t disappoint. There’s so much awesome stuff on the menu. I’d love to try it all, but every time I’ve been I just go straight for the grain fed steak on the bone. Can’t help it!!!

Christina organised a hot pot night with the guys and gals at her parent’s place last night (they’re away on holidays). Always awesome, the special peanut sauce is the shizz.

It seems like every time this crew get together we go for a bender.

Gee and Robby.

Jon and Jono.

Jon “planking”. New to me?!

Jono planking.

Planking gone mad.

Christina and Nat.

The girls.

Oops!

Insadong Korean BBQ in Eastwood.

I love their new window display! Reminds me of traveling Japan.

Bim bim bap is where it’s at.

I’m a huge Korean BBQ fan. Have never had bad Korean BBQ, ever! This is a little Korean BBQ in Eastwood, it’s always super quiet but the food’s greeeeaaaat!!!!

Jimbaran 129 Avoca Street Randwick.

Bakmi Goreng Tek-Tek Anugrah – Stir fried egg noodles with vegetables, egg & chicken.

After Richie’s Citizenship Ceremony last night we went for dinner down the road at Jimbaran, an Indonesian restaurant we’ve eaten at many times before. Their chicken satay is awesome, beef rendang is awesome too but I’m always there for their Bakmi Tek-Tek. If you’re a Mi goreng fan you’ll love this dish, it’s like Mi goreng on steroids!

MKV chillin outside.

Live plants! Just makes me want to start up my succulent garden even more.

Linguine with crab meat, zucchini, garlic and chilli.

Barramundi with cannellini.

Spotted: Zoomer delivery scooter at the new Deus on Bourke St. Oury grips, disc brake set-up.

Had lunch with Christina today at The Beresford Hotel. House Made Pasta. I jump with joy (well on the inside anyways) whenever I see fresh pasta on the menu.
