A sunny Saturday: a perfect time to catch up with a few uni friends who’ve recently had bubs. We wandered around the corner from my friend’s flat in Pyrmont to a little cafe called Pyjamas. I had a particularly nice eggs benedict, which I haven’t had in quite awhile. The hollandaise was nice a creamy, and the sourdough a good texture – crust not too hard, the inside nice and soft. Very satisfying.
After that epic meal, it’s a wonder that we had room for dessert – but who doesn’t enjoy jelly and ice cream? This is a rather adult, decadent version of sake ice cream and plum wine jelly. Very different and refreshing.
This was a rather interesting dish – Angus beef fillet topped with egg. Tasted pretty good though.
Yes, series 8 has started in the UK, and I’ve been following it. How could I not when it featured the reunion I’ve been waiting for: between Harry and Ruth.
The teriyaki salmon was good. This is how the marinade is supposed to look, not the bottled crap that you buy in the supermarket. The recipe is actually super easy, so if you want to taste authentic teriyaki salmon it’s better to make it yourself.
Okay, I think I’m getting quite addicted to this show now. It’s definitely different from Life on Mars, but I think this is just as good. Of course, a good dose of unresolved sexual tension does lift things a great deal. A bit beauty and the beast, this one, but sizzling nevertheless.
We’re getting to the serious end of the meal now, starting with an awesome sushi and sashimi platter. Very fresh and very tasty indeed.
I’m in the middle of an Ashes to Ashes kick, and I found this spoof which I thought was quite amusing.
The Japanese aren’t really known for their salads, but they actually eat more of it than you think. We started off the meal with a simple teriyaki chicken salad, with what might be sesame dressing. And of course, our cameras were at the ready.
It’s Friday night and a buddy’s birthday, so we headed to Masuya’s, a good Japanese restaurant in O’Connell St, for a feast. I’d only been once before for lunch, but it’s birthday girl’s third visit. To start off, a colourful drinkie. Cheers!
