Sekka Dining

New comer in the ramen scene is Sekka Dining which has recently opened in St Leonards. 

Small but cozy, this ramen joint which is in the works to expanding their dining options, is already a smash hit. They will be bringing more izakaya options such as yakitori and kushiyaki but in the mean time you can enjoy delicious starters and steaming hot bowls of ramen. 

In terms of drinks they serve Asahi on tap and Japanese cocktails such as whisky highballs, gin and tonic and a variety of hot and cold sake. 

I went during their second week of soft opening on a weekday and didn't have to wait long at all to be seated. There is bar seating as well as 3 booth options which can fit 5-6 people as well as a few tables spread throughout. 

For entree we ordered the blue fin tuna made with house soy, organic egg yolk, shiso and olive oil. For ramen I chose the Tonkotsu Shoyu whilst my partner ordered the Shoyu ramen. 

The entree of bluefin tuna was amazing! Presentation of the dish was one similar to a fine dining institution and the taste was superb. Every element of the dish combined so well with each other and every bite was a delight. The tuna was super fresh and it was a great start to the meal.

The ramen came quite quickly after the entree and looked equally as impressive. 

My Tonkotsu Shoyu had a beautiful creamy texture to it which is the usual characteristic of a good tonkotsu soup. The soup was superb! Intense pork flavour with noodles which still had a good bite to it. The chashu also was cooked with great care. Slightly smoky on the outside and was very tender and fatty. The egg once split in half revealed a gooey, salty yolk that I always love about ramen. 

Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen

I tried some of my partners Shoyu ramen and it was also delicious but quite different. The soup was lighter and very clear but flavour was still quite intense. It came with a nori sheet, half an egg and bamboo shoots. 

Shoyu Ramen

Both delicious bowls of ramen and I would rate this as one of Sydney's top ramen restaurants. I can't wait until they expand and bring in their yakitori skewers. Then it would really feel like a genuine izakaya bar. 

What Would Lobi Eat? A bowl of Tonkotsu Shoyu with a cold glass of draught Asahi.

USA Trip 2017 - New York City

This was my third visit to this amazing city and once again delivered something new to the table in terms of the delicious variety of food available. When one thinks of New York, the first thing that comes to mind is pizza! This is a city that definitely has no shortage of pizza restaurants and Rubirosa in my opinion is one of the best out there. Located in Nolita, this small pizza restaurant delivers thin, crispy pizzas with a variety of topping choices. We ended up choosing a sampler of bruschetta for starters and a large pizza (half classic half Rubirosa supreme). The sampler bruschetta was a trio of different types of bruschetta they had on offer. Each one packed with flavour but not over doing it at all. A mixture of your typical bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil and garlic, a pesto bruschetta and a creamy cheese and honey bruschetta. Sampler bruschetta Onto the main course, the pizza! A beautiful circle of dough half covered in bright red sau

Hawker - Sydney CBD

As you can tell I love my Malaysian food and Hawker does not disappoint. I’ve been to this place many times before but I recently won their monthly Instagram competition and was invited to a dinner for 2 for free! I immediately took up the offer and ate until my stomach reached full capacity. It’s a casual Malaysian restaurant located in the Sydney CBD. I often come here for lunch and because it is so spacious inside, there usually isn’t a long line. They seat you quickly and the menu, although not large, has quite a variety to choose from. Po Piah For starters we ordered the Po Piah, which is kind of like a Vietnamese rice paper roll filled with an assortment of fillings including Chinese sausage, shredded omelette, crispy shallots and chilli paste. It’s a typical Malaysian starter which is not found everywhere in Sydney and it has a light consistency to it so it doesn’t spoil your appetite. Oyster Omelette We also ordered the oyster omelette also known as Or Chien.

USA Trip 2017 - Orlando

Next up Orlando! Home to the best theme parks in the world! This review will be quite a short one, mainly about the food I ate in Universal Studios. But boy was it great food! Normally when you think of theme park food you think of boring burgers and fried food covered with some sauce but Universal Studios offers a whole lot more than that. There are so many restaurants and food outlets at Universal Studios and that’s not even in the actual theme park. A lot restaurants can be accessed on the outside which is called Universal City Walk which is free to walk around and explore. One place which I was really keen to visit was The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and Savory Feast Kitchen. As soon as you enter Universal City Walk you won’t be able to miss Toothsome as it is one of the biggest structures in the area and reminded me of a giant chocolate factory. The crazy shop at Toothsome It has a cool steam punk theme where the waitresses and waiters dress up in old time clo
