…is just as much fun for food lovers as lego land is for the under 12yo and midgets. I came across this place in LA and I’m still waiting for an infestation of these to arrive in Australia and then die off – just like the bubble cup/lucky cup/bubble tea/bubble-lucky-wah-no.1-so-good-888 milk chains.

The concept is pretty simple:

1. Self-serve yoghurt machines where you can mix and match your favourite flavours – though they have some really weird ones including rootbeer float as a flavour
2. Add the toppings that you want – this includes cheesecake pieces!
3. Pay at the counter based on the weight of the cup

I think it’ll be a hit! Just need the competition to start and I’m sure we’ll be getting plenty of yoghurt worlds/yoghurt empires/yoghurt dynasties in no time!

Quick rating: 7/10. Another chain that will provide a great way for international students to get an under paid job and provide crappy service!

Nothing like a generic blog post to get a mass message out there – here’s to wishing you all a big fat juicy, tasty & scrumptious Christmas!! Let’s eat.

Another Sunday and another dish I actually remembered to take a photo of. Bak kut teh with a literal Hokkien tranlation of “meat bones tea”. Doesn’t sound (or look) great does it? It’s actually a herbal soup cooked with pork ribs. There are plenty of variations out there, but this one had pork, Chinese mushrooms and tofu. I think it’s one of those dishes you either like or dislike. You can find a tiny bit more information on Wikipedia

Once again, I found myself eating in Sydney. This time I was taken out to Wagaya. It seems to be one of the most popular Japanese places in the Sydney CBD. My friend didn’t actualy believe that I was going to Sydney, so she didn’t book. So effectively we had to wait almost 3 hours to get a table. But that wasn’t a big deal, as I had stuffed myself before dinner with pancakes from Pancakes On The Rocks and skewered food from the night market in Chinatown.

What did we eat?

Chauie and I ordered to share (sorry I don’t remember the exact dishes ordered):

• Fried tofu with a fish sauce and bonito flakes.



• Gyoza (Japanese fried dumpling).



• Japanese spaghetti with chicken in cream sauce.
• Wagyu beef skewers.



• Grilled salmon sushi.

What I liked:

• It’s a modern Japanese restaurant, so you order using a touch screen (sorry inner geek).
• The speed at which the food and drinks come is super quick. It almost made up for the time we lost waiting to get a table.
• This is for KTang and JenHo – they do serve Umeshu (plum wine) and Yuzushu (citrus wine).

What I didn’t like:

• Obviously, having to wait to get a table.
• Some of the plates were chipped.

Top tip:

I’ve been told that you should book a week before you want to go. This will eliminate the gross waiting time.

Rating: 8/10. Everything I had was just outright tasty. I’m going back again when I next go to Sydney and this time I won’t pre-stuff myself.
