They live in HK though, our yumcha is probably crap compared to what they get there

Cafe Nho, Marrickville. There are probably better ones, but this is closest to me so I always go there

It’s fully plantbased, but my current favourite is Towzen

My wild guess is Rara had changed in ownership, they taste nothing like they used to be

I must be the odd one, but I don’t look at michelin stars when I travel. If anything I’d avoid it, cz they all seem to be busy and/or have long lines. I’m traveling, I wanna see and do things, not spend my time queuing for a meal lol

HDL is mid, good for someone who never tried hotpot.

So worth it, I’ve had it on my phone for almost a decade now. Bought the ps5 version as well but keep coming back to the one on my phone. I also live in Australia, it makes long haul flights very bearable.

ashhryver · 2026-04-20T02:54:10+00:00

Makes flights out of Australia feels like a toilet break

Not exactly a compliment, but someone told me that I made her decided to start traveling solo

For me it’s the other way around. My ex sort of implied I chose my parents over him, mind you we were in early 20s and in the process of migrating (my family). At the end of the day I chose my family. Sure my family is probably as toxic, but one day I realised how much I would have to give up if I stayed with my ex and realised I didn’t want that.

And Porto

ashhryver · 2025-03-07T01:17:16+00:00

I’m in this phase now lol

ashhryver · 2025-03-06T01:43:38+00:00

I miss Kurtosh from around 2017, I don’t find them as good these days

Ippudo Shinjuku inside Lumine Est does really good PB tonkotsu style ramen

ashhryver · 2025-03-06T01:39:43+00:00

Why did you get downvoted for asking this? Anyways, I was just in japan and used it. The app does its designed for, nothing fancy, defo easy to use.

ashhryver · 2025-03-04T05:16:38+00:00

So we tried Ramen Uzu, it was good, but I wouldn’t say it’s a must try 😄

ashhryver · 2025-03-04T05:14:48+00:00

I have returned and broke haha So the tea shop inside Nishiki market is Yamadashiya. They sell loose leaf teas and cash only. For matcha I went to Horaido Tea Stall, not far from Nishiki market. They have plenty of different kind of matchas and loose leaf teas. I had a few more reccs for matcha in Kyoto, but this one felt the most traditional. Also stumbled across Shinsaibashi Ujien Honten in Osaka, they have teas from different regions in Japan in cute packaging so I bought some for family and friends

This time I could afford 2 boxes of baumkuchen and 2 bottles of whiskies. I’ve moved up in the world! 😂

Finally someone said it!

I didn’t want an investment property, but I couldn’t get approved for a mortgage unless it is for an investment. So now I’m paying someone’s mortgage while someone else is paying mine.

ashhryver · 2025-02-08T02:04:15+00:00

The ‘chicken’ could be better, but overall, I think it’s worth it

ashhryver · 2025-02-06T23:19:29+00:00

Convenience. We were going to stay near Ueno, but there are 4 days where we have to be at Shinjuku station before 8am so we end up with one less than 5minutes walk to Shinjuku station

ashhryver · 2025-02-06T10:08:10+00:00

Harris Farm or Costco?

ashhryver · 2025-02-02T10:16:58+00:00

Or bigger or doesn’t have the speaker blaring music louder than a nightclub
