I was really in the mood for ribs one Friday night, so J and I drove down to Tuggeranong to try out Arnold’s Ribs & Pizza near the Hyperdome. Although there were a few tables inside, Arnold’s is mainly a take away joint. We were only there for the ribs and focused on the ribs […] Read more…

Continuing on from Eating in Tokyo – Part 2 – Shibuya and Harajuku… Ameyoko Markets We headed to the Ameyayokocho Markets in Ueno, or Ameyoko for short.
