Bushman’s grill, Northcote The heaven for ribs lovers like me and Irene🤤🤤 One friend recommended this place to me as we were talking about ribs, she mentioned that the ribs portion is huge, so me and some other friends decided to go there the next week. Irene and I are always known to go crazy on food, so we decided to order 1 portion of buffalo wings and 1 whole ribs, yes you saw that right...1 WHOLE FREAKING RIBS!!! And some salad on the side of course 😁 all for the two of us 😂😂😂 We let the other three decide for themselves lol.. Steph was always keen on the Ultimate Onion so we decided to order that and share it...man was it good... I ended up having to takeaway some of the ribs cause of course we couldn’t finish it lol..but I finished the salad though (that’s important!) I went home satisfied that night, will definitely go there again with some other crazy ribs hunters 👍

3rd anniversary dinner at Ebisu Saturday, 30th June 2018 was our third anniversary. That day, we were meant to be flying down to Palmerston North and was planning to then celebrate it there. But the Auckland fog got us stuck. Our flight was cancelled and rebooking was a nightmare. The blessing in disguise was that we got to celebrate it here in Auckland. We had done some research beforehand - was planning to do a late celebration after our trip down. We then decided to go to Ebisu. The reasons were: it is fancy (Britomart area), we love Japanese food, the food selection is great and it is very close to home (yippe...works best for a person who can’t walk on heels like me but wanting to wear them just to feel more special..still dunno what I was thinking as I still can’t walk on them lol). We started off with their special Sake accompanied by Edamame (Willem’s fav) and some vege tempura, then we had the beef short ribs and seared duck breast for the main and some shredded cabbage salad on the side (the beef short ribs were OMG!!! Sooo good and highly highly recommended!!). The cabbage salad was huuuuggeeee...make sure you’re hungry! It seemed like we ordered a lot, but I’m telling you it was nothing if you look at the selection..we were so indecisive as we would love to eat all of them (sounds greedy I know), but y’all should really try it. The vibe was so nice and homey. The service was great too 👍 Overall great experience ❤️

Long time due post, Sydney, 1-5 June 2018 This is the summary of my short trip to Sydney last June. The trip was intended for me and my bestie to shop and eat. It was literally filled with so much good food. We really made the most of it filling our bellies with Indonesian goodness that we missed so much and some that we could not find here in Auckland. Then followed by 3 days straight of shopping (mostly by me 😂😂😂). The food trip started of with our all time favourite, classic Chinese food (fried rice, braised tofu and soft shell crab). Followed by our Indonesian goodness and another favourite of ours, Korean food. Not forgetting the Australian specialty, seafood basket and chicken salad. Oh my, the salad was so tasty and fresh, and the seafood basket was great. I literally suggested us both to revisit the place I visited in February 2017 - Searok Grill at Circular Quay. And then some amazing ramen nearby and summed up with another Indonesian goodness - ayam tulang lunak (check out my Instagram @geniuseatingmachine for the locations of each dish). After all that guilty pleasure, of course we did some workout just to feel better, cause we’re good eh 😜 Overall, it was a much needed break and such a successful trip of our original intention of eat and shop (no fuss, stick to the plan - or no plan - just go with the flow). Wow was that worth it! 😍
