Nando's Macquarie Centre

If you love chicken and come from a place where there's no Nando's, well then, this is one place you can't afford to miss.

The story of Nando's dates back hundreds of years ago when Portuguese explorers set sail and somehow found African Bird's Eye Chilli. You may now know it as PERi-PERi, found at Nando's restaurants as well as supermarkets now.

All Nando's have their own unique design, but all have earthy textures and colours that remind us of the sunny Afro Portuguese roots. You can find local South African art and design touches in all the Nando's restaurants.

You might now be curious how it looks now, so this is how the entrance at Macquarie Centre Nandos looks like:

As for the food, this is what my Whole Chicken with one side as Spicy Rice looked like:

If chicken is your thing, then Nando's is as well.

Roji Monster Ice Cream

Here's something to try: ice cream that tastes just as good as it looks. Located in a small alley close to Gong Cha, Roji Monster Ice Cream Café is a Taiwanese café close to Burwood Station, serving cute monster dessert masterpieces. Although it is Taiwanese based, it is actually a Japanese inspired dessert place! These monsters look really similar to the puppets of the TV show, Sesame Street, and recent, popular posts can be seen via Instagram . There are five flavours to choose from: milk, uji matcha, cocoa, black sesame and a seasonal special, and on top of that, it comes with edible googly eyes and the option for two side toppings. Toppings include lychee jelly, honeycomb rice dumplings, chocolate sauce and many more. When I visited the café, we were directed to the ordering station, where we ordered via stamp cards, i.e. what flavour, and what two toppings we wanted, and then paid at the front counter. The steps can be seen below. Source: Picky Piggies My friend...

TOUKA Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant

Are you a fan of Japanese cuisine and grilled meat? If so, then read along to find out why this restaurant is my personal favourite for an epic Japanese BBQ feed! TOUKA Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant is a little hidden gem that is tucked away into the small streets of Parramatta. It is literally situated in a fancy modern-day historic house, which is set out beautifully, and elegantly. Source: Touka Source: The Fork Not only is the interior extremely luxurious and pleasing to the eye, it is also the delicious food and meat that makes the whole experience amazing. Prices are bit on the steeper side, but it is all well worth it. All dishes were made fresh and delicately. The meat came out presented nicely, and when cooked, it tasted of very high quality. All the meats melt in your mouth, and the wagyu beef selection is definitely something to order when you’re dining here. Friends have similarly agreed and said that it is comparable to...

Juan Bowl & Tea

This Japanese restaurant is quite small, cosy and intimate. This is also reflected in their menu, as there are only four main dishes and two desserts to choose from. There is however, an extensive range of hot and cold traditional teas. I came for brunch here with 3 other friends so we essentially ordered the whole entire menu except for the Unagi Hitsumabushi bowl (grilled eel). The main dishes were presented so aesthetically well and looked almost like art. Not only did it look fantastic, but it also tasted amazing. My personal favourite was the wagyu bowl – the onsen egg matched perfectly well with the wagyu roasted beef on top of the garlic buttered rice. As mentioned, there are only two desserts to choose from. Although limited with their sweets, both dishes were delicious. The matcha tiramisu was soft and fluffy with just the right amount of green tea matcha to sweetness ratio. The black sesame warabi mochi was unique but was also very ta...
