Win a Masterclass with Tetsuya Wakuda at Tetsuya’s Restaurant – Kent Street, Sydney

March 7, 2010 Event

Have you been to Tetsuya’s?

It seems to be the most frequently asked question this evening. My answer is a ‘No’. I had the idea of celebrating A Table For Two’s 1st blogiversary at Tetsuya’s last year. Despite that I made the phone call to the restaurant trying to reserve a table few months ahead, my [...]

Gumshara – Haymarket Chinatown, Sydney

November 9, 2009 Japanese

I can never get tired looking at a big slab of pork spare rib on my blog.
After visiting the Shin Yokohoma Raumen Museum in Japan last year, I was convinced that I will never find another bowl of ramen that is as good as the one I’ve had in the museum. However, looks like [...]

Merivale Winter Feast @ Teppanyaki – The Ivy, Sydney CBD

September 8, 2009 Japanese

For some reason, Merivale Winter Feast promotion has never been on the top of my priority list. Don’t get me wrong, one of the items in my to-do list is to tick off all the restaurants in theMerivale group. But I am not sure why, me and Merivale don’t seem to gel very well together [...]

Pasta Zanmai – 1 Utama, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

September 1, 2009 Food Travel

Why would I want to eat spaghetti when I can have all the yummy local Malaysian delicacies? And I am always over sensitive and cautious about eating raw sashimi in a hot tropical country like Malaysia, Salmonella is not what I am looking for on the menu that’s for sure. But when they mix it [...]

Katsusando from Atomic Espresso – Neutral Bay, NSW

July 28, 2009 Japanese

If you want good Malaysian food, ask Malaysian friends. And if you want good Japanese food, no doubt the Japanese are the ones you should ask.

Ichi-ban Boshi – TGV, Sydney

May 11, 2009 Japanese

“A table for one,” I said.
(You heard me right) The day that A Table For Two dine alone is finally happening sooner than I anticipated. Disaster! However, the opportunity of getting hold of a table at Ichi-ban Boshi makes eating by myself perhaps is not such a bad thing after all.
This ramen noodle place is [...]

Wagaya – Haymarket, Sydney

March 27, 2009 Japanese

“I think I know which one is the bomb,” says the hungry digital elf confidently. He picks one of the six salmon sushi off the plate and put in his mouth. No doubt he is safe. One down, five more to go – the sushi roulette continues until one of us put a bullet into [...]

It’s been over 3 months since my last trip to Japan, and it takes me this long to finally writing this post about a little something I brought back from Japan. Before I begin, let me clarify that this post is not my intentions to upset anybody if you find it offensive, and I also [...]

“Billy, come. I’ve told the waitress you are a foodblogger and she is going to show you around and take pictures,” Mr V.I.P insisted again after giving me a full tour of Crystal Club on 29th floor earlier on. But this time, we will be having our little tour inside KOKO, one of Melbourne’s premier [...]
