As someone who usually has an Iced Americano or a Cold Brew due to personal preference, this was a pleasant change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/b684a9e5-c63a-4751-a004-782c12eb90cf/IMG_0608+%281%29.jpeg Eats - There’s just something about coffee… - Down the hatch! After receiving the coffee, you are advised to consume it within 40 seconds of the pour to preserve both the creaminess of the milk, as well as the formation of the cream along the cold superchilled glass before it melts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/496b0d20-d79c-4d08-aa58-a630e13f5e54/IMG_0616.jpeg Eats - There’s just something about coffee… - Sweets to go with your coffee The menu at Corner Corner is built for that perfect midday accompaniment to your cup of coffee. From slices of castella to pudding, the menu leans towards the sweet but you will hear no complaints from me if the rest of the items are as good as this pudding. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/ramen-keisuke-tonkotsu-king-tanjong-pagar-singapore monthly 0.5 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/10fd62d3-6ef9-46e7-8ff1-f6407e5adf8b/IMG_6855.jpeg Eats - Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King- Tanjong Pagar, Singapore - Tonkotsu Ramen with Flavoured Egg + Japanese Seaweed (SGD$16.40) The soft noodles were the perfect texture for me, complimenting the healthy and well-adjusted broth, the yolk in the flavoured egg jammy and the chashu tender, perfect for a rainy day. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/tsukiji-kaisendon-holland-village-singapore monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/f998c4c4-e6ae-4692-a5dd-caad7198a995/IMG_5986.jpeg Eats - Tsukiji Kaisendon- Holland Village, Singapore - Negitoro Don with an Egg Yolk (SGD$18.90) A classic at under SGD20.

The sous vide prawns were firm and sweet, allowing us to enjoy the freshness and meaty texture of the prawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/6adf789e-524a-4128-abbb-8b2fb2ecbcfc/IMG_5469.jpeg Eats - Mad Roaster’s Slow Bar- Lengkok Bahru, Singapore - Chocolate Babka Slice The chocolate babka was warm hug, not overly decadent for morning consumption- after all, who does not love a fluffy chocolate pastry when paired with an excellent coffee? https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/letra-house-sydney-nsw monthly 0.5 2025-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/4c48b0c0-72a7-4523-9fff-e518ecabe2ef/IMG_3978.jpeg Eats - Letra House- Sydney, NSW - Duck liver parfait, pickled rhubarb, brandy snap The duck liver parfait was smooth, the texture light against the sweet and crisp brandy snap, the rhubarb providing a contrast to the richness of the liver. A classically well executed pairing of sweet and savoury, richness of the liver and pickled rhubarb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/d3e41f55-440d-4807-b6df-935bc4e04217/IMG_3981.jpeg Eats - Letra House- Sydney, NSW - Raw Red Carid prawn tostada The prawn tostada highlights the sweetness of the prawn, the texture firm and succulent- gone in a few bites, yet wishing I had room for more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/0c3f78c6-de44-4b7c-9e00-8c7686b4dea1/IMG_3992.jpeg Eats - Letra House- Sydney, NSW - Socarrat, pippies, firefly squid A simple luxury of a risotto is the socarrat, also known as the crunchy rice from the edges of the pan. This dish embodies that simple luxury- made up of the toasted rice, the sauce creamy and full of umami, highlighted by the sweetness of the firefly squid and the pippies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/300408bd-fad3-49d3-90ee-32771b3c972d/IMG_3995.jpeg Eats - Letra House- Sydney, NSW - Cuttlefish, smoked jowl, chickory The cuttlefish was sliced thinly, tender and not rubbery, the mild bitterness of the chicory complimented by the aroma of the smoked jowl. While I enjoyed the dish, I did feel the proportion of the smoked jowl did overpower the dish with just a touch too much salt and as we approached the end of the dish, it began to feel just a bit overpowering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/398c8a75-ae1d-4cc4-9dd6-4b1030c88237/IMG_3963.jpeg Eats - Letra House- Sydney, NSW - Oyster Gazpacho Easily the highlight dish of the evening, we ordered some as the appetiser and added on more after consuming all the food ordered. If that is not statement enough, this oyster gazpacho is a must have! Refreshingly light, the gazpacho was clear, bearing just the right amount of balanced tartness accentuated by the brininess of the Sydney Rock Oysters, acting perfectly to whet one’s appetite and then subsequently as a palate cleanser to end off the meal. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/kajiken-abura-soba-sydney-nsw monthly 0.5 2025-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/48c26f3f-e0af-4ada-ab9b-3447a235ea03/IMG_4304.jpeg Eats - Kajiken Abura Soba- Haymarket, NSW - Roast Beef Abura Soba (with yoghurt) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/bea1250e-5aeb-4236-ae90-9d505af269fd/IMG_4300.jpeg Eats - Kajiken Abura Soba- Haymarket, NSW - Roast Beef Aburasoba (without yoghurt) https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/hashi-sushi-rhodes monthly 0.5 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/2f9751d0-12e3-4437-887f-7d2547bbd9cc/IMG_2995.jpeg Eats - Hashi Sushi- Rhodes - Geso According to Sushi University, geso refers to the 10 tentacles of a squid. While some venues do offer them lightly boiled or grilled, in most Sydney venues they are usually served raw with a lovely crunchy and springy texture with a portion of the squid itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/51774380-041b-4ace-81db-8d880211a601/IMG_3005.jpeg Eats - Hashi Sushi- Rhodes - Tsubugai Whelk is another sweet shellfish with a crunchy texture, easily one of my favourites along with akagai, and not always easily found in Sydney. If you have the opportunity to try tsubugai, I would highly recommend it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/7a321d4b-2db4-4741-b30e-f10293ae2f27/IMG_3020.jpeg Eats - Hashi Sushi- Rhodes - Lobster Salad Gunkan Rich, creamy with firm pieces of lobster in the salad, this classic is a simple indulgence. I grew up with a version that had a little more wasabi in it, enjoying the sting along with the dressing, though this version is infinitely better than the one I remember from my childhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/df91d3cb-c0ad-419b-95ae-1e98a69fcc56/IMG_2999.jpeg Eats - Hashi Sushi- Rhodes - Akagai One of my favourite selections at venues that offer it, akagai has a lovely crunchy texture when served as a nigiri. If you like any of the other clam nigiri options, this is one that definitely needs trying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/e22db08d-a198-499c-a7a5-59a6a99b765d/IMG_3013.jpeg Eats - Hashi Sushi- Rhodes - Kani Crab nigiri is sweet, the crab meat tender atop the vinegared rice of a nigiri. Hashi Sushi has it topped with some mayonnaise, tobiko and some thinly sliced shallots which only serves to compliment the sweetness of the crab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/e47d03bd-9df0-4fcb-a110-e89a768bfb58/IMG_2998.jpeg Eats - Hashi Sushi- Rhodes - Ika Like the geso, ika is typically from a squid or cuttlefish, served without the tentacles which are usually included in geso nigiri. The squid is usually sweet, though the texture of the meat is not usually for everyone. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/ya-malaysia monthly 0.5 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/27486875-9614-4fed-b9df-013726d57989/IMG_2912.jpeg Eats - Ya-Malaysia - Wah Tan Hor Fun 滑蛋河粉 Having had a lot of horfun back home while I was growing up, it would be an understatement to say that this is truly my favourite comfort food. Noodles are dry fried to impart wok hei into them before ladling a thick gloopy sauce thickened with an egg gravy and fresh seafood, this dish really embodies cool weather comfort for me. ★★★★★ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/22a6fc47-d037-4918-b408-886fae91682a/IMG_2910.jpeg Eats - Ya-Malaysia - Half Hainanese Chicken My search for Hainanese Chicken in Australia has been a longtime journey, taking me all over- from Temasek in Parramatta to Gai Wong in Melbourne. I found myself enjoying Ya-Malaysia’s variant, the meat tender and the skin slippery, where most place miss- the sauces here are a lot closer to what I remember from home. ★★★★★ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/eb3a2d2d-c4b6-42a9-90b2-daa517cb5a63/IMG_2921.jpeg Eats - Ya-Malaysia - Sambal Kang Kong Everyone in Southeast Asia knows this classic dish- crispy, al dente kang kong stems and leaves cooked in a pungent, aromatic sambal. Mildly spicy, not overwhelmingly spicy, this was a light balance catering to western palates. ★★★☆☆ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/6c3e0969-990d-4692-a7a9-d85713b07e8b/IMG_2919.jpeg Eats - Ya-Malaysia - Laksa Every country does laksa differently with some variations from other countries that are adjusted to suit their palates. This version is as close to a home as I can get in Sydney- replicating the mix of noodles perfectly, the broth a little thicker though not unbearably so and still equally rich and umami as I remember. ★★★★☆ https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/sushi-sei monthly 0.5 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/1aff8aa4-c9c3-481e-bc56-89d37b6319b6/IMG_2613.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Ochazuke A nice homely dish, welcoming and simple, ochazuke is light and savoury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/b530b6f3-da9c-4e3d-af26-9d1d0aa4d8ec/IMG_2605.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Shishamo Small river smelt with their eggs, shishamo are typically served one or two ways- fried or grilled, with the latter being my go-to and served with kewpie mayonnaise and shichimi togarashi. Back home, shishamo are usually served with their heads but I found them headless here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/79250fa9-cb4f-4e51-9d4c-dd49d8bb32e5/IMG_2593.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Ankimo A dish of monk liver, served with a tart ponzu, and finely grated momiji-oroshi and green onion. One of my favourites, it has been hard to find this since my move to Australia and I revelled in finding such a classic execution here. ★★★★★ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/edd6619a-74a2-4536-98ae-6332621be590/IMG_2596.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Ikura Don Ikura- the little salty pearls of salmon roe, best eaten atop fresh and hot rice. My go-to in Japan, this is a classic must-have. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/2f9e11c0-8a54-422a-ae03-59bceab8e693/IMG_2598.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Hotate Uni Ikura Don Fresh and briny, the hotate, uni and ikura don is a taste of the sea in all the best ways possible. The sweetness of the fresh scallops, the creaminess of the uni and brininess of the ikura is a treat. ★★★★★ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/eb014a31-6f23-4dc9-9858-63f07f10ebfd/IMG_2589.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Summer Chawanmushi Nothing spells summer more than corn and how better to have a lightly sweetened corn chawanmushi. While I do prefer a classic combination, I enjoyed this different take on the chawanmushi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/0075fbc4-082f-49f4-92b1-5fcb6925e331/IMG_2601.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Engawa and Tsubugai Sushi If you’ve never had Engawa before, it is a cut taken from an olive flounder, aromatic when torched and comes by in limited quantities. Tsubugai is whelk, its meat sweet, crunchy and chewy when fresh, the texture a delightful treat to my senses and one of my personal favourites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/1624281b-b498-4a53-8fc2-ff7915524eec/IMG_2612.jpeg Eats - Sushi Sei - Akihagai, Imperador and Bonito Sushi As with any sushi restaurant, Sushi Sei also offers a variety of fish for your choice and selection. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/chan-kun-kee-rhodes monthly 0.5 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/4f27bc97-61ef-46ed-bac8-6bf50122d092/IMG_2476.jpeg Eats - Chan Kun Kee 陳根記 - Rhodes, NSW - 乾炒牛河 Beef Chow Fun ($19) One of the standard dishes I get at most Chinese restaurants, the cook of the beansprouts and onions were excellent, preserving their crunch with a touch of wokhei. Whilst I am used to the noodle texture to be softer, and the wokhei stronger, the tenderness of the beef contrasted nicely, still making this an enjoyable experience. ★★★★☆ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/7d2856c5-f592-4a56-86f1-069be38f4ece/IMG_2770.jpeg Eats - Chan Kun Kee 陳根記 - Rhodes, NSW - Friday Specials- Marinated Meat Platter Chan Kun Kee has daily specials during the week from Monday to Friday. As we regularly come on Fridays, we have become quite familiar with the braised marinated meat platter which I would highly recommend to anyone visiting on a Friday! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/7e097ebe-f96b-4dca-92b0-d4617b30600a/IMG_2769.jpeg Eats - Chan Kun Kee 陳根記 - Rhodes, NSW - Chan Kun Kee Specialty Soy Sauce Chicken When a restaurant lists a dish as a specialty, especially one with their own name, you immediately know it’s a must have! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/b2474fad-8c1e-4d17-b188-3457994e5420/IMG_2488.jpeg Eats - Chan Kun Kee 陳根記 - Rhodes, NSW - 三色蒸水蛋 Steamed Three Colours Egg ($19) Growing up with a Hokkien mother, she was always a big fan of the tri-coloured steamed egg, always opting to add more salted egg than century- a trait that is uniquely her. Chan Kun Kee captures the homely taste of the steamed eggs well though I believe they added a starch to the mixture for steaming as I noticed a slightly thicker texture towards the bottom of their plate. ★★★★☆ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/b9bebb26-8d1f-4423-99d0-688e33d041d0/IMG_2478.jpeg Eats - Chan Kun Kee 陳根記 - Rhodes, NSW - 陳根記燒鴨 Signature Roasted Duck ($30) Roasted meats, where do I begin? A love story from every culture and background for the most basic of ingredients- a story woven in how each animal is treated. We sampled the roasted duck on this occasion- the meat tender, the skin soft and the sauce exactly how it is back home, served with a side of plum sauce and the aroma of five spice. ★★★★★ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/5de33e58-02d3-4213-989a-10f9b61b753f/IMG_2467.jpeg Eats - Chan Kun Kee 陳根記 - Rhodes, NSW - 陳根記 水煮魚 Fish Fillet served in Sichuan style chilli broth ($27) Mouth tingling spice, paired with aromatic sichuan peppers. Deliciously tender fish fillets- this dish had the hallmark of everything right with the dish. The beansprouts and noodles within the broth were crunchy, not overcooked, with every bite a delight. ★★★★★ https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/iron-chef-bonnyrigg monthly 0.5 2025-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/735973e4-6201-45b0-a994-11683dd5e430/IMG_2337.jpeg Eats - Iron Chef- Bonnyrigg, NSW - A classic spread We ordered a combination of braised chicken feet, tripe and tendon, pork and prawn siew mai, hargao and some crystal dumplings with chives served alongside some Chinese Tea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/bc900cf9-49e9-463c-b984-df38785ae962/IMG_2345.jpeg Eats - Iron Chef- Bonnyrigg, NSW - Egg Tart ( 港式蛋挞 ) With the varieties of egg tarts in the world, I find myself returning to the familiar embrace of my childhood. The pastry on the egg tarts were light and flaky, the filling smooth and jiggly like a light and well made custard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/68469ace-c476-4e77-8cec-20b8be3b1b08/IMG_2341.jpeg Eats - Iron Chef- Bonnyrigg, NSW - Cheung Fun ( 腸粉 ） A longtime favourite of mine, cheung fun is a sign of great skill when the rice noodle roll is translucent with a teasing glimpse at the filling within and the texture light and silky. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/hoon-sik-dang-rhodes-nsw monthly 0.5 2025-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/80104cdf-5278-4439-b99d-6626df942ccd/IMG_2283.jpeg Eats - Hoon Sik Dang- Rhodes, NSW - Bibim Naeng Myeon ( 비빔냉면 ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/5284f68b-dd13-4317-adab-288e46667dc2/IMG_2287.jpeg Eats - Hoon Sik Dang- Rhodes, NSW - Pork mandoo On the day that we visited, they were out of the prawn mandoo and we opted for the pork instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/6ef94da1-87fc-4040-94d3-fadab85921bd/IMG_2280.jpeg Eats - Hoon Sik Dang- Rhodes, NSW - Mul Naeng Myeon ( 물냉면 ) The broth in Hook Sik Dang is light, tangy and refreshing, the noodles are chewy but just the right amount and also not “burned” by the ice making it too hard. Though condiments were provided on the side, the broth itself was standout that I personally felt that it did not require any adjustments at all. ★★★★★ https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/culture-amp-co-espresso-bar-wolli-creek-nsw monthly 0.5 2025-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/0f0c27e0-89a2-479c-ba28-00643727243e/IMG_1459.jpeg Eats - Culture & Co Espresso Bar- Wolli Creek, NSW - Classic Eggs Benedict A classic eggs benedict with hollandaise and bacon, Culture & Co does the classics well and proud. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/3446adff-1446-43ed-99c9-56c4fdced71e/IMG_1738.jpeg Eats - Culture & Co Espresso Bar- Wolli Creek, NSW - Specials: Portuguese Chicken Juicy marinated chicken thighs grilled and served with a tangy side salad and chips. One of my favourites- this is the dish I get, whenever I stop by Culture & Co. Though there may be a bit of a wait time when there are multiple orders of Portuguese Chicken, I personally believe it is worth the wait! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/8749cf74-d36d-4c9d-9acb-f7882f43468b/IMG_8235.jpeg Eats - Culture & Co Espresso Bar- Wolli Creek, NSW - Specials: Chilli Crab Omelette Another item from the specials menu that caught my attention due to its nature having included an homage to Singapore in the form of a dish that is typically associated with my home- Singapore Chilli Crab. Served with some prawn crackers- the omelette itself is a firmer and more thoroughly cooked option compared to the versions with fluffy or oozy centres. This simple omelette is then wrapped around their version of a simple chilli crab sauce which mostly gets points for not having to grapple with crab shells to get the rewards.

The jumbo ebi fry is a lovely addition to the plate as someone who loves anything that is prawn related. A massive mass of minced prawn meat tempura’d?

Marinated in a combination of aromatics like ginger, soy sauce and cooking sake, karaage is deliciously tender chicken, coated and fried in potato starch. For people in NSW, I have mainly found potato starch in Japanese specialty shops and even then, I do not find it often. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/559cdc40-9a88-4d63-9d84-d63b679ae78b/IMG_1339.jpeg Eats - Omu- Ultimo, NSW - Mum’s Potato Salad Japanese potato salad always have a soft spot in my heart- contrary to the western alternatives, the fluffiness of the Japanese version with cucumbers and ham always hits the spot and this was no exception. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/da-dong-prawn-noodles-joo-chiat-singapore monthly 0.5 2024-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/e8e47ca5-3a5e-4251-9221-b516924b8ac8/IMG_4092.jpeg Eats - Da Dong Prawn Noodles 大東蝦麵 - Joo Chiat, Singapore - Prawn Noodles with Pork Intestines and Tail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/3233d98f-2ab3-4658-8a7e-635fb112fe77/IMG_8846.jpeg Eats - Da Dong Prawn Noodles 大東蝦麵 - Joo Chiat, Singapore - Singapore, Orchard Road Singapore is a beautiful country that I call home- a small little island that blends modernity with a taste of colonial architecture from a bygone era.

My only gripe with this dish was just with the Duck XO as I felt like it would have benefited with having a stronger focus on some of the other included aromatics to bring out the nuttiness of the duck. The inclusion of the mushroom in the sauce was a homage to the original ingredients found in an XO sauce but I found myself wanting more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/7e3e6aff-4315-48d5-9a09-6e5340f081a7/IMG_1063.jpg Eats - Queen Chow- Enmore, NSW - Wagyu tartare I am a fan of tartare in all its forms and order it regularly whenever I find it on the menu and it often thrills me to find the difference in taste profiles between the eastern and western adaptations. This rendition, interestingly enough, made me think of Indomie Mie Goreng with the aroma of the fried shallots and sauce packets of kicap manis, a familiar staple of mine through University times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/e716ad5d-1604-4358-9c33-dc88eaffafdb/IMG_1072.jpg Eats - Queen Chow- Enmore, NSW - Chong Qing Chicken- 辣子鸡 A well known dish in Sichuan known as La Zi Ji, this chicken dish embodies the hallmarks of the region with the use of a simple marinade and aromatics imparting heat, the floral notes of the numbing spice of a Sichuan pepper. Typically the chicken thighs are marinated in Shaoxing wine before they are coated and stir fried with a number of dried chillies, chilli flakes and Sichuan peppers. This allows for a truly beautiful savoury tender chicken against the heat and aromas imparted by the mix. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/daruma-haymarket-nsw monthly 0.5 2024-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/3794016e-a3f8-4660-86d9-52a6d7f0ee82/IMG_1418.jpeg Eats - Daruma- Haymarket, NSW - Mentaiko udon (明太子うどん) Daruma’s mentaiko udon is creamy indulgence of the mildly spicy salted pollock roe and the sweet umami it imparts over the bite of udon.

Unlike the shime saba offered at locations like Yakitori Jin at Haberfield, this one is fully cured through with the mouth-watering marinade that the fish is typically pickled in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/4dbf6174-994c-4e8a-a10c-034e9c2dac43/IMG_1413.jpeg Eats - Daruma- Haymarket, NSW - Takowasa (たこわさ) A popular drinking snack in the Izakaya scene, it’s one of my favourite drinking snacks- with the chewy crunchiness of the octopus with the crunch of wasabi root. I find that a number of locations err on the side of caution with the amount of wasabi added to this dish- but at Daruma, the taste of the wasabi is stronger and it feels rather refreshing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/b8ac7cba-09d9-4089-9e91-804126898404/IMG_1422.jpeg Eats - Daruma- Haymarket, NSW - Kushiyaki 串焼き Though kushiyaki is a general term for skewered items, as expressed by the following kanji character- 串, the options on this day were a skewer of fried chicken and eggplant each for my friend and myself. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/yakitori-jin-haberfield-nsw monthly 0.5 2024-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/c6b5bfab-1d59-4ddf-a693-3f13f4503fe2/IMG_8005.jpg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Blistered shishito Peppers Shishito peppers are from the Capsicum family and are typically harvested while still green.

In Sydney the number of organs available is a little smaller than what I have had overseas which I have heard is due to supply issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/437b95d5-4b37-4e49-8ccf-e68e294d545f/IMG_8010.jpg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Chicken Gizzards While chicken hearts have the texture of firm meat, the gizzards have more of a crunchy texture which may be an acquired taste for some. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/8a48da9d-40e9-418f-bc5e-1bddad31f674/IMG_8034.jpg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Chicken Udon Considering the nature of the yakitori joint, it is only natural for Yakitori Jin to have a chicken based soup dish as traditionally offcuts and carcasses can be used for this purpose. A small dollop of yuzu kosho- an aromatic yuzu pepper sauce is usually served with it to cut through the umami from the soup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/e99081d0-f346-43ca-9f7e-8128d73f9aba/IMG_8001.jpeg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Fremantle Octopus Skewer A seasonal menu item, this item has become one of my staples every time it appears. Tender and smoky from the grill, this is anything a seafood lover would enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/6d57efe9-d4f8-4d73-96f2-e3473d80a488/IMG_8014.jpeg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Chicken Thigh and Green Onion A staple at all yakitori places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/58b7f493-3240-4846-b3c3-215400fcfef0/IMG_8018.jpeg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Shime saba (しめ鯖) One of my favourites- I take the opportunity to order shime saba wherever I see it on the menu. Yakitori Jin’s variation is a little different as the pickle does not run entirely through the entirety of the fish like other more common variations leaving a portion of the flesh raw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66a1adfa0615f42459f75c6d/7a00950a-4a04-4356-b917-df4e76c673af/IMG_8025.jpg Eats - Yakitori Jin- Haberfield, NSW - Fish Collar A seasonal menu offering, we found this fish collar dish refreshing with a sweet chilli and tomato sauce to compliment the collar. Though it typically is not a favourite, it was enjoyable and something different to showcase the team’s flexibility. https://magicsaltgra.in/eats/category/VIC+Australia monthly 0.5
