Onyx Bar & Grill | Steak night in Burwood 🥩

Last month I booked a table at Onyx Bar & Grill to celebrate two occasions, a birthday for one friend, and a farewell for another friend as she embarks on her new journey in Canada. I heard about this place from my bestie who told me she had found a great place for steak that was close to home, so of course I had to try this place out!

Onyx Bar & Grill is a 7-minute walk from Burwood Station, or a 4-minute walk from Westfield Burwood, which offers parking. Upon entering the restaurant, the staff were very friendly, with their warm hospitality and showed me to my table while confirming the special occasions for the booking. The atmosphere of the restaurant was classy yet cozy, and I managed to catch golden hour. 

🍣 SANO SUSHI OMAKASE - SEPTEMBER 2023 EDN

Last September (2023), I joined my friend for an omakase dining experience with Sano-san at Azuma Japanese Restaurant. The seating for six was at the very entrance of the restaurant, separated from the hustle and bustle of the main dining area, which gave the feel of an exclusive dining experience.

Sano-san introduced himself and the menu for the evening, where he would prepare everything right in front of our eyes. He started us off with the New Zealand Snapper with caviar, shallots and white soy dressing. The snapper was incredibly fresh as it would melt across my mouth, revealing a subtle mellow sweet flavour.

mija seoul | The Final Farewell & Review

A little late, but happy new year and lunar new year everyone! I took quite a break with my last post being 5 months ago, as I was quite busy with work, personal and travelling! I'm back to start 2024 with a special kind of post. 

My friends and I visited South Korea in November, where we booked a table at Mija Seoul. Founded by YouTuber, Doobydobap (Tina Choi), Mija Seoul was a restaurant focusing on creating a menu inspired by hearty Korean meals with local and seasonal ingredients along with a traditional liquor pairing experience. 

Arthur : Surry Hill Review | It was Christmas Feast🎄

This is an incredibly late post, as I first went to Arthur during the Christmas season...last year, and we're about 3 months away until the next Christmas season already! Anyway, without further adieu, here is my experience at Arthur, and why it has climbed its way above Sixpenny (in my personal opinion). 

Amuro | Birthday Dinner 🎂

It's late August! August is one of the main celebratory months I have, where I've gone out for a couple of meals to celebrate many birthdays including my own! As for today's post, I'll be sharing my recent experience at あムロ ; Amuro (hereby known as Amuro). Located in Darlinghurst, Amuro is an intimate saké boutique diner with only 20 seats available at one time. They offer a range of boutique saké (nihonshū) and a rotating snack list, so you might not have the same menu items each time you go! 

Bistro Nido | French & Japanese-inspired Restaurant

Located on the corner of Regent Place, Bistro Nido, a French and Japanese-inspired opened its doors in May 2023. This restaurant offers an intimate setting for a lunch or dinner date with about 40 seatings available. In July, two of my friends and I decided it was time to check this place out and catch up.
