マン席, pronounced as Manseki, means “sold out” or “all seats taken” in the Japanese language.

I haven’t been able to take good food picture lately. Perhaps I ran into photographer’s block. My new lens seemed uncooperative and is put away on the shelf – it would serve me during the day only.

I first started eating at Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice some 25+ years even before my elder daughter was born and the most recent trip there was 4th August 2012. I knew the exact date because I was acting like a local tourist that day. It’s been a 15-year break since I last ate there … Continue reading →

A quick check with my K.O.A.T (knower of all things) Wiki, calls it konjak, konjaku, konnyaku potato, devil’s tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, or elephant yam. I have decided to name my post as simply as Konnyaku Jelly since I’m quite sure no one would want to taste the devil’s tongue! Why so many scary, … Continue reading →

According to Jason, “the food and ambience are better” and besides, Melbourne Central is nearer to where we stay thus saving us some tram fares which would be used to … Continue reading →
