Thaija Vu

Hey guys! If Thai food is your passion, then Thaija Vu is the place for you. It is located in the inner west of Sydney and is at an accessible location (Guildford to be exact). This restaurant is a funky and urban place to dine while offering great customer service and quality food. The entrée was salt and pepper squid with a sweet chili sauce dip which did not fail to impress. 

For my main dish I tried the Sizzling Lamb plate which was divine. It came out on a hot plate which made sure that the food stayed hot and ‘sizzling’. Filled with veggies and lamb pieces, this dish was definitely enough to fill one person. Not to mention the desserts were amazing and the prices were good and low and within a uni student’s budget.

Overall, the experience at Thaija Vu was a good one and the restaurant is definitely worth trying. :)

The service was good, the surroundings are quite beautiful, and there are many good wine bars,pubs and cafés nearby if you want to make it a big night after your meal. The food is good, but it is pricey. 

HanYang Galbi, Strathfield

Feeling like Korean? Well Strathfield is the place to go! 

After a day in the Blue Mountains, i was suddenly craving Korean BBQ for dinner (yeah pretty random). I came with one other friend and like the students we are, we looked for a place that had nice atmosphere, appealing food and reasonable pricing... and then we found HanYang Galbi!

Unlike some Korean BBQ places, this place wasn't stuffy at all and had such great ventilation that it kind of surprised me. We ordered some pork belly, beef neck,an onion pancake and soju. 

Then all this came out! you get all these side dishes and free water too!

 Kimchi, salad, corn, egg, anchovies, water chestnut & more

When the meat came, they helped us cook some of it and made sure we didn't burn it (lols). Personally, i preferred the pork belly over beef neck because it was more juicy. The onion pancake was HUGE and i was full after my second piece (but it was still tasty)...luckily they allowed take-away.

onion pancake (also contained seafood)

Overall, a nice experience at HanYang Galbi! Altogether, everything was $55 for two people (which is pretty good value), food was filling, nice atmosphere and friendly customer service. 

If you are looking for a place to eat Korean or Korean BBQ, why not try HanYang Galbi?  Check it out!

Ippudo 16 September 2014

I've been to Ippudo so many times that I have tried all the different bowls of ramen on offer. I decided to go for old faithful: karaka men. This bowl comes with Ippudo's signature milky tonkotsu broth and spicy miso and ground pork. Ippudo's broth strikes a good balance with something that's quite tasty and full of collagen and pork flavour without being too heavy (i.e. great for when I don't have the appetite for Gumshara's gut bomb tonkotsu). I love spicy food so for me the spicy miso and the roughly textured ground pork makes this bowl of ramen more interesting and elevates it to another level.
