Me in Shirakawago, Japan What is your real name because I see both Jenny and Akika floating around? My real name is Jenny Ge but as I’ve always been envious of people with unique names so I wanted one of my own. Whether at school, work or socially, there were always many Jennys so [...]

Airstream Cafe, you disappoint me. I’ve been a long time customer because of the close proximity to home and I never thought it was such a bad place to enjoy a good catchup or a quick meal. That is, until Christmas day. It was a boiling hot day and I was running [...]

I was all ready for an afternoon of cherry stuffed bellies, climbing ladders and possibly fending off Asian tourists who are hogging all the good fruit. However, things [...]

When I read Choux-Fleur‘s review on Toodouri Korean BBQ the other day, I started thinking about when the last time I had Korean BBQ was, and then I remembered! I actually forgot to blog about the one and only Korean BBQ I had this year (in Australia anyway) at a restaurant called Jong Ga in [...]
