Fortunately, one of the first places we passed was Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King. It was about 8.30pm at this stage and there was […] Read more…
Last month, my family and I had a dinner at Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino Perth. I think it’s my third time dining there, and I’m never disappointed. We had an early evening reservation and sat with a view overlooking the Crown’s pool. Our waiter for the night asked whether we wanted tap or […] Read more…
I wanted to visit The Grand Palace in Bangkok but we realised it was not close to the train station and reviews mentioned to get there very early in the morning to avoid the crowd, otherwise it wasnโt worth going. By this stage, we were three weeks into our overseas holiday and hadn’t actually had […] Read more…

It’s been a bucket list restaurant and I was really excited to finally try it. The menu is $295 per person for a 17 course […] Read more…
Melbourne chain Gami Chicken and Beer at the Canberra Centre has been a popular hot spot since opening last year.

My favourite […] Read more…
