Japanese Jeans

There's a place that we know that will just always be there but we'd always run for, especially when you don't know what time your train comes or if you do, you know it's about to leave. Meeting in the Adelaide Railway Station was the point for our monthly sibling dinner dates. I like this train station, it's apparently also designed having the New York Central Railway Station as the inspiration when it was constructed in the mid-20th Century to replace the less-appealing predecessor.

 Pants OP SHOP  Slip-ons KMART Bag GARAGE SALE

It was quite a chilly night and my fashion sense is basically 'anything under $10', so presenting this. I got the bag, for only $2.20. I found in this hopeless garage sale, well, they were literal. They were selling pots, garden tools and all that. Then on the table, I found the bag. Priced at $3, with full enthusiasm, I said I'll take it. I grabbed my wallet only to realise I have a two-dollar coin and a twenty cent coin, although I was willing to pay the asking price, I budged it down 80 cents.

Thinking turning Japanese? I have exciting news. If you're big on sushi or grilled chicken or ice cream or seafood or more sushi, there's a place in Adelaide that gives that all. The best bit is, they will literally give it all-- unlimited. The catch is, you have to order the heap of goodness within two hours. It's only $29 per person, which is real good considering if you haven't eaten the whole day in preparation.

They have the full effect of a Japanese restaurant, with cosplaying waitstaff and the mind-boggling Japanese architectural dining tables. There's also this fire pit that can serve as a heater while you wait for your orders to be taken. Help yourself with the drinks, it's unlimited. Worry not.

 

Just like any other restaurant, you order what is pleasing to your palettes, except you don't have to individually look at the prices or get stuck with one dish or course. In this secret place at the rear (winky face), there's authentic Yakiniku, that's Japanese-style barbeque! Go wacky, order some Octopus and try not to eat it medium-rare. It's really a terrible medium-rare experience. You cook it infront of you, so you know there's no msg (Ajinomoto is Japanese) added, like most cheeky takeaway shops do. Cook it the way you want, as what Captain Obvious announces here.

Once again, it's unlimited. Eat as many sushi or takoyaki as you can. I wasn't able to take many photos because it is implied what I was doing the whole time.

 

 

Sushi = Unlimited. I repeat, unlimited. It's like Sushi Train but it's like a freight train that goes for two hours, non-stop. Depends with your capacity. So, if you're planning to fast for the day and have a massive dinner, Ginza Japanese Restaurant at 48 Unley Road should do it. Don't forget to check the opening hours, but ideally get a reservation at (08) 8357 3888, so you get a table because this promo is really popular.

Carl's Jr Down Under

Carl's Jr is coming down under!




I have no basis but from my own knowledge about obesity in Australia, I only know that I've never seen an over-sized bulging belly in an Australian beach, ever. (Or is it because there's a beach solely intended for them?)

Chinese food makes me ___.

In two days straight, I've gotten tagged along to eat to two dining places in Adelaide. First night was with 'traditional' Chinese then the next one would be appropriately described as a modern Italian cafe.

Well, this would have already been the main course-- Peking Duck. It's peking gaaawd!

I don't know why Chinese restaurants are noisy, crowded and tacky. Does it have to really be a little glimpse of China? Probably everywhere in the world and every level of 'elegance' seem to be the same. The big round tables, the wall ornaments and flashy chandeliers. There's too much going on! I beg Japan to please intervene with your cousin's flashiness. That's only my opinion though. 

 How much do you love noodles? ;)

 Honey Soy Chicken, very typical.

Finally, I can say Chinese restaurants comes at a really expensive price! They're not cheap! I get that petrol prices are increasing but they have to realise that they don't need to drench their food with it. Soggy is sometimes not very good, good thing they have steams and seafood to compensate all their faults. I forgive you now.

 I don't know how to rotate it, so just tilt your head. This is divine, btw.

The following night starter with a cookie from Coles. I would have sexual fantasies with their cookies, I've said enough.

Then this platter: Chicken Schnitzel with chips, garden and Diane sauce. Win! I love how this dish was meant to be oily but it wasn't at all! Even the chips were perfect, and this is the only place I can find this sauce. Never anywhere! (or maybe cause I never dine anywhere else? Well, they don't have Big Mac sauce here)
 

Caffe Primo's $10 deal!

Final verdict, I won't personally walk in a Chinese restaurant and try to have buddha's figure and wash plates. I would always prefer somewhere cheap and healthier. So I think I'm going with LFO's opinion here with their song Summer Girls-- Chinese food makes me sick. Not at all of it, I still am in the pursuit of the 'oil-less oriental menu'.

Korean Food and Cultural Festival

Korean Food and Cultural Festival

From the islands where I hailed from, this familiar culture has embedded a strong mark in our society. I like their cuisine, culture and fashion and I was delighted to know there was a small event to recognise the Korean culture in Adelaide.

Some things think they are better, but in fact they aren't. (I don't want to argue, just value my opinion) I thought this was a gift from the Heavens, but when I saw the alternative chemical sweetener, I changed my mind.

THIS. The gift from the Heavens, well, you can also count the ladies.

This is my mum on her simple form, being pretty on her late 50's.

It was a lovely day to go for a dip, and where else would you go if you can get it from the heart of it all!

So this is why I think girls that like princesses are hard to please.

We were full from a hearty (heart-diseasy) lunch we had before going to Rundle Park, so only an ice pole was good enough to chew on this time.
