Yayoi Teishoku (Sydney)

We took a visitor to Yayoi at the Galleries Victoria building for a quick dinner. Fortunately we went early as a queue quickly formed after 6pm.

You ordered via the touch screen and I went for the Unagi Hitsumabushi Teishoku set. It was a different and refreshing way to have unagi when mixed with the seafood broth and eat it like a soup.

The fried dishes such as pork katsu and chicken namban are also recommended.

est (Sydney)

For our wedding anniversary, we chose to dine at Est. to celebrate the occasion.

We had a couple of mocktails to settle down before the 4-course chefs menu. All the dishes were as pretty as a picture. Spanner crab salad, grilled scallops, venison and passionfruit sorbet were all excellent.

Big thank you for the staff to be very attentive and cater for my wife’s low sodium dietary needs.

DOC Pizza and Mozzarella Bar (Melbourne)

During a quick business trip in Melbourne, I was craving for pizzas and my friends took me to DOC in Melbourne's Italian district.

The pizzas were certainly excellent and having mozzarella as starters was a must. Make sure you leave some room for the nutella calzone.
