xm found a review of shabu shabu (380 lonsdale street, melbourne, 03 9642 4934) on tummyrumbles a couple of weeks back and when she told me about the $25 buffet i replied “i am SOOO in!”
shabu shabu is a japanese variation of a steamboat, but the way this joint differentiates itself – besides pretty much [...]

i don’t actually know what the right name for this dish is, but i’m calling it Kae’s Braised Chicken because a couple of nights after i made this dish, i had a dream that my girlfriend invited me to her house and made this for me! so here’s to you and your (my imaginary) culinary [...]

we were driving around looking at houses today and decided to have lunch on glenferrie road in between inspections. there were a few places that looked interesting but k felt like japanese and samurai (804 glenferrie road, hawthorn) was quite busy. more importantly, there were a couple of tables occupied by japanese people which sealed [...]

you’re thinking… what the f*ck IS that.
that’s what i thought too.
but ever since i had this dish at The Sichuan Restaurant With The Stupid Name, i’ve been craving it. so i decided to give it a shot at home last night. i knew i wasn’t going to get it to be anywhere near as good [...]

i had been wanting to try GAS (crown casino, 03 9694 7400) for a while now, so when a girlfriend i was meeting up with said that she would be staying in Crown i immediately suggested an italian dinner. just as well since it was pissing down with rain and i was in no mood [...]

we were invited to an advance screening of the new Bond flick, and by the time the movie finished we were starving. k – surprisingly – suggested we try out dumplings plus (269 swanston street, 03 9663 8181) and so we gave it a shot.
about 40 seconds after we had been shown to our table [...]

i think i expected strange mongolian stews and ethiopian curry, so the menu [...]
