Omakase experience at Nobu | Melbourne

Omakase (Japanese: お任せ Hepburn: o-makase) is a Japanese phrase that means “I’ll leave it up to you” (from Japanese “to entrust” (任せる makaseru)).

Leaving it up to the chef to come up with things for us to eat is normally not what we do. We like to know that what we put in our mouths is going to be our choices so we won’t have anyone else to blame if we don’t like what we are served. That said, we decided to try Nobu Melbourne’s new Omakase offering – we know the chef who provided us with amazing food and we know the experience would be amazing.

What is this Poke Bowl?! I have heard so much about this and never really attempted to order one for myself. Why? Because Poke Bowl means healthy food, and I am like many people out there who love their tasty, oily, fried food.

Chin Chin | Melbourne CBD, Australia

Over the last weekend, we caught up with a couple of new friends down from Brisbane. They wanted to try Chin Chin restaurant in Melbourne CBD. We have heard of the restaurant, and also heard people talk about that place, but we have never been there. One of the biggest reason is that the restaurant does not take reservations for small groups. Most of the time we go out to eat could be only the two of us or a small group like this case, and we don’t fancy standing in a queue just to get food, no matter how good you are. We want to reserve a table, turn up at the time of booking and be seated. No fuss, no rush.

We thought Roti Road would serve good Malaysian food as it is always filled with people, but it turned out that most of what we ordered were terrible! It’s not worth the money and effort.

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal | Melbourne

We went to Dinner by Heston Blumenthal for my birthday dinner last night. We have never been there before but I have to say it is far overrated. We left disappointed with the experience and will never be encouraging friends an family to go.

Birds Of A Feather | Newport, Melbourne, Australia

Food, Australia, Melbourne

Over the weekend, we stumbled across this Birds of a Feather cafe beside Newport train station in Melbourne while in the area attending property inspections. It was an early inspection and we thought we should get something to eat. Cam had ham cheese and tomato croissant with coffee to go, and we were surprised by the quality of food and the attractiveness of the items they had on the menu. We decided to head back there for lunch when we had a break between inspections.
