So I’ve been here 3 times, and I agree with online reviews that this is a hideously overpriced Japanese restaurant, but the food is so beautifully good that the cost is justified. I really like the fact that it’s two restaurants in one as well. It’s no ordinary noodle/ramen/sushi shop – instead they do soba and okonomiyaki. Mmmmmmm

The other night I had a fantastic dream where I had to save the world yet again from the neverending forces of evil. My special powers this time round included invisibility, flight and the ability to dissipate into a gas/steam-like substance. I was on the hunt for floating pieces of magical bronze armour while evading the detection of enemies who patrolled each area. The first piece I touched was easy, and it immediately evaporated. I still had to get out of there quickly, since touching one took me to another plane where I had to escape a dense cloud of explosive pink orbs.
The second (and last) piece I had to extinguish was much tougher to do, as the patrol here was an ice lady. As I rushed towards the armour, I conjured ice around her neck and threw her into some nearby water, because fighting ice with ice was totally the logical and correct thing to do. I may have had a sidekick at this point, as I tried to then freeze the ice lady in the water. I was most definitely a genius in my dream. GENIUS.
This post is just to confirm that I am the ultimate genius for making an all powerful entity that actually has a vegetable peeler mode.
THAT IS ALL.
This week I finally managed to summon the courage (i.e. work the sorcerous voodoocraft) to visit Swallow and get the brewstation goodies. I’m always terrified that if I order fancy coffee, the baristas will start talking about crazy flavour profiles that I simply don’t understand.
We got lucky this week since they were already in the middle of making an aeropress coffee, so I just took my time to stare at it, all the while thinking “YES THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SAY HEY LETS TRY THAT.” So we ordered our aeropresses and sat down at the table.
It broke and everything exploded.
I will be melting my mind trying to restore things :)
In other news I ate an awesome rhubarb pavlova from Bill’s in Darlinghurst today. The cream offset the tartness of the rhubarb very nicely, and the meringue was made with brown sugar, which was different. The added honey I think wasn’t necessary, but did add another bit of flavour to it. Now my taste for pavlova has been forever snobbified!
