Gumshara – Haymarket Chinatown, Sydney

Billy — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:27:59 +0000

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 [...]

Ten Ren Cha For Tea – Sydney CBD, NSW

Billy — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 02:08:42 +0000

Why is it so difficult to find a restaurant that opens after 10pm in Sydney CBD? I find it hard to believe that Sydney is a big city yet there are not many restaurants that open late. Friends from overseas laughed at me when I told them the shopping malls here in Australia closed at [...]

In search of the best Pho Bo in Vietnam

Question: Are you a backpacker, or a flashpacker? I have to say I will be the latter one. I am definitely not in the “young” age group anymore. (“Shut up, Yas!”) Just the thought of communal shower room terrifies me. Having said that, I absolutely enjoyed the communal hot spa at the capsule hotel in [...]

Ban Mee, also sometimes known as Min fun Kueh (麵粉粿), is a simple noodle dish usually for breakfast or lunch, and is made from two basic ingredients – plain flour and water. The noodle is [...]

Ichi-ban Boshi – TGV, Sydney

“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 [...]

Shin Yokohama Raumen Museum – Yokohama, Japan

“Where can I get a bowl of ramen like this?” Hop on the subway to Shin Yokohama station, follow the well-signed route, cross over the sky bridge, walk down a few blocks, turn around the corner and soon we found the building that we are looking for (We actually totally walked past and missed it). [...]

Ramen Genki, Artarmon NSW

I used to work and live in Artarmon, so I know this area pretty well. Artarmon is a small suburb tucked in between Chatswood and St Leonards. There isn’t much going on in this suburb, but a small community of Koreans and Japanese who’s been living there has turned the little walkway under the train [...]
