Everyday questions

There are people that we dislike, hate, and sometimes wished they never existed. But do we ever spare the fact that these people are troubled, in need of real emotional help or are just different?

Changgo @ Lt. La Trobe St, Melbourne, Australia

Round 2 (or maybe 1240023) of mad dinners. I am no rubberband girl. Why is my husband bringing to these awesome places. A place where you can be over porked and still come back for more. I kid you not. A korean BBQ resto at its finest.

My blog is no longer Halal.

Please call up and make a booking if you don't want to sit in a Korean BBQ for 2 hours waiting for a table. You should already know what you would smell like or rather what you would do to your car seat after dinner.

First the teaser...condiments, sauces, kimchi and others.


Please make sure you eat the mushroom last cause it takes forever for it to be soft. I had to chuck it back several times cause I couldn't even bite into it. Finish the enoki's first.


Get ready for the Palsaik ( I am guess it is pat sik or 8 colour in canto same as in Korean )

I don't really need to type much anymore. You can literally taste with your eyes just like those wagyu posts earlier.










2 of us ate all of this but had to take away a whole slice cause it was just too much to handle. This meal of AUD 58.80 would easily fill the stomachs of 4 people and leave NO room for dessert unless you really eat heaps. We had steam rice you see.

Point to not: They do not answer their reservation lines 99% of the time. If you want to book, walk in and do it. Plus, no bookings for diners after 6.30pm.

Tips: The Palsaik set is good enough for 4 average people. We had 1.5x the set for 7 people and some other dishes and we were very full from it. Come in warmer weather cause there will be lesser people wanting to eat BBQs. 

Heard they are expanding soon!!!

Shou Sumiyaki @ Lt. Bourke St. Melbourne, Australia

Back in Melbourne for the second time in 3 months. Sam brought me to this Shou Sumiyaki. We always walk pass it but never stopped to see what was really inside. Maybe cause during the day, its just dark from the outside. Anyway, went there for dinner and I am SOLD!

I usually can't pick the standard of food served in restaurants. If it's edible i'll just eat it, and if I don't really like it i'll just not return. However, this is too good not to share. 

Shou Sumiyaki - the website tells you more and I reckon 50% of the food menu is in there as well. 

Be prepared to spend about AUD 150 for 2 pax for food and alcohol. 

Please make a booking to avoid disappointment...for real!


Charcoal BBQ/Grill - 75% of the time the friendly and smiley staff would help with the cooking and flipping of foil wrapped food. Good! I don't need to burn myself.


They have a really cool bar for a wait out or a night of drinking. An extensive list of drinks from Beer, Sake, Umeshu to shots. Whatever you need. I love Melbourne for this.

My Asian version of Beouf Tartare...Wagyu Beef Yukke!!! Was really good. Texture was amazing and only AUD 9.50.


Some assorted sashimi and oysters. Not too bad. The oysters were something different.


A very non Halal - Pork Belly i'm supposing. Can't remember. Looks really fattening but wait till you grill it and put it in your mouth. 


The F-1 Black Wagyu - to die for again and again. I can eat this everyday. Needs no professional chef to enjoy the outcome. Heaven.



Ox tongue! Somehow its not as crunchy as others that I have tried. But nonetheless really good as well.


I am getting hungry looking at this at 2am. OMG! Must have more next month. Salivating...... Shou Sumiyaki on Urbanspoon

We visited this place again in 2013, and there were many cuts of Beef which were out of stock...Sad but its okay we still enjoyed our dinner and it never tasted better.



 This is enough marbling for a random dinner. I am in love.
