- 27-MAR-19: Chinger Biang Biang Noodle (lunch).
- Lamb and Vegetable Biang Biang Noodle Soup.
- 3.5/5. Really amazing noodle in a quite nice soup with varied ingredients. Would have gotten 4/5 if it weren't for the slightly dirty feel of the place.
- Lamb and Vegetable Biang Biang Noodle Soup.
- 22-MAR-19: Big Mama (lunch).
- karage chicken kure (curry).
- 3.5/5.

- karage chicken kure (curry).
- 20-MAR-19: The Best Guilin Noodles (lunch).

- 17-MAR-19: Gami (Box Hill) (lunch).
- Mozarella Sticks.
- boneless chicken w/ sweet chilli & honey soy. Potato Dream. Corn & Cheese. Chicken Japchae.
- Lychee Cider.
- 3.5/5. Really good and amazing combination of ideas/ingredients, but somehow not as amazing as the other Gami. Perhaps I'd just been craving for chicken for too long and by then I'd gone off it slightly?
- 7-MAR-19: Big Mama (lunch).
- pork katsu bento box.
- 3.5/5. Rather strange mix of items and ungenerous amount. However the katsu was A-mazing and the pumpkin paste side dish unusual and yummy so I gave an extra half-point.

- 25-JAN-19: Monzarella (dinner).
- some kind of pizza; wedges with cheese & sour cream.
- 2/5. The food was OK. The service was extremely poor (not rude, just very slack. e.g. they didn't take our food orders til we'd been there for half an hour).

- 20-JAN-19: Sakura Kaiten Sushi II (lunch).
- general sushis, tempura sushi, takoyaki, gyoza.
- 4.5/5. AMAZING!

- 4-JAN-19: Sam Sam Korean Chicken (Swanston St) (dinner).
- boneless chicken: sweet chilli and mustard & spring onion. Plum sake drink.
- 3/5. Not as good as Gami. The sweet chilli chicken had random bits of sweet potato in it. Which was yummy, but not pure chicken like at Gami. There were sides (daikon and 'salad') but the salad was pretty much just shredded cabbage with some kind of spiced mayo on it. The best part was the drink, haha. I probably would have liked it more if I hadn't had Gami to compare it to. Also, the service was really mediocre. They lost one of the orders from our table and gave them something not-that-nice to make up for it. If it was me whose order had been lost, I probably would have given them like 1.5! But I liked the 'press the button on the table to order' system. So yeah.
