Get in ma belly, Wagyu and Sashimi Heaven.

Cheat Sheet
Nishiki Wagyu Yakiniku
270 Pacific Highway, Crows Nest, NSW
Cuisine: Japanese BBQ/ Buffet
Costs: $$$
Tips: Good for special occasion, good for couples or even a small group e.g 6-10. Go early round 6pm when it opens before it gets busier. If you're going for the buffet go for the $60 per person, the sashimi and wagyu is mouth watering and worth the upgrade!
Recommendation: Buffet C menu. In house green tea and sesame icecream!!! The Waygu Beef Skirt.



Me and my friend came here to celebrate a special occasion and I'm glad we chose this place in Crows Nest. My friend recently got a proper decent paying job (FINALLY!!) I decided to take her here to celebrate. We were both starving so a buffet is a reasonable choice when it comes to value for money.


Likes: Buffet Menu C, that Wagyu beef is just unbelievable......The "melts in your mouth" moments try it combined with your dips on the table. You cook it the way you like it and honestly it can't go wrong. The unlimited Sashimi, we went crazy with this stuff. Fresh and simple can't ask for more. The fact that the icecream is made in house surprised me. The sesame icecream definately got my attention. I've eaten icecream from all over the place, Norgen Vaaz, Hargen Daaz, Gelatissimo, N2, Streets ice cream, Messina, Ben and Jerrys, Wendys, New Zealand Natural and I've worked at 3 different icecream place so I consider myself quite the icecream connoisseur. The service here is also spot on,

Dislikes: Oysters are limited to 2 per person. =_=" I love oysters but it was clearly started in the T/Cs, we obliterated 4-5 platters of sashimi as revenge.
Overall Verdict: A very nice Japanese buffet, abit on the pricey side but worth it if it's a special occasion. Would definitely come back but just not any time soon.

Week 2 #Project52

Tacos with Amigos @ El Loco, Surry Hills

Cheat Sheet
El Loco: 64 Foveaux St, Surry Hills NSW 2010
Cuisine: Mexican
Costs: $
Tips: Good for groups and a quick/cheap feed.

I've been wanting to check out this place for so long. Located in the trendy Surry Hills, El Loco is a nice Mexican joint found inside a bar.

Likes: Cheap food!!!! $5 tacos, very filling, variety of fillings, nice decor and lighting, indoor and outdoor seating.

Dislikes: Apart from cash this place accepts credit and debit cards with 1% surcharge (=_=)"

Overall Verdict: A very nice place for cheap Mexican food, close proximity to Central Station. Great for Uni students on a budget.

Week 1 #Project52

Project52

I first heard of project52 through a friend on Facebook. Basically it’s meant to be a weekly photo collection for 52 weeks. The idea is that it captures people’s ups and downs and special moments and shares it with others. I liked the idea but unfortunately I’m not a good photographer.

What I do love is good food, sharing it with other people and enjoying the whole experience.  Hence I started my own Project 52.

Instead of photography it would be slightly different…..
Project 52
I will be visiting a new restaurant/bar/café every week for 52 weeks.

I hated going to the same place every time with friends.
Sure we know everything on the menu and we are guaranteed that it would live up to our expectations but it gets boring. I’m a thrill seeker and there’s just something special about discovering a new place to hang, enjoying fine dining and taking the risk of trying something different. Life is short.

For me, I get to
i) Try out new food I’ve never eaten before

ii) Visit new food places I’ve never been to
iii) Enjoy the experience by catching up with old mates and friends
iv) Creating memories throughout the Project 52

I didn’t do it for facebook/instagram likes or whatever social media attention. It’s not about how man Likes or comments, that don’t benefit me. I’m already enjoying what I’m doing.

Unfortunately 52 weeks of dining out has its consequences
i) The extra calories D:
(tastes good? Yeah it tastes like 4 km on the treadmill to me)
Hence to address that I will hit up the gym more…..hopefully
ii) It’s not the cheapest project/hobby

But if I was going to spend money dining out, I might as well try something different.  

At the end of it, I will look back and just say, hey I finished something fun in my life that most people haven’t.  I’ve enjoyed food, shared it people I care about and created wonderful memories which no amount of money can buy.
