Last week when I was in Perth (which has so many Japanese restaurants), I noticed this intriguing restaurant. It served both dim sum AND sushi on a conveyor belt! I didn’t eat there but ate at another shop selling takeaway sushi next door yet couldn’t help but sneakily take this photo! Two of my most [...]

I am not a wimp but my gut isn’t what it used to be. I went to Bangkok with EVERY intention on actually eating food off street stalls because they are often very tasty and authentic. Some of my best memories of eating throughout Mexico were the dodgy-looking tacos, ice creams and grilled corns from [...]
