Friendship

Came across Wikipedia’s article on the subject of friendship. Might be a worth-while reading for those having difficulties determining who is friend and who is not.

Eddie’s Crazy Fish Sushi Bar

8/201 Ferry Rd, Southport QLD 4215
Telephone: 07 5591 7155

Eddie’s Crazy Fish Sushi Bar is probably one of the best sushi places around on the Gold Coast. While the look and feel of the restaurant is just like every other places, we find this sushi train outlet presenting slightly more in variety and quantity.

The restaurant is suitable for both dine-in and takeaway. Open 7 days a week from 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM. Eddie’s also offers a VIP reward program where you receive $10 worth of free sushi when you have collected 20 stamps of $10 purchases.

Eddie’s Crazy Fish Sushi Bar is situated on Ferry Road which is fairly accessible if you live around Southport/Bundall areas. It is worthwhile to explore Eddie’s if you are a sushi lover and certainly we are. We give Eddie’s a 7 out of 10.

Shimbashi Soba So Good

2/54 Thomas Dr, Chevron Island QLD 4217
Telephone: 07 5504 6404

First up: It was a terrible experience! A few days ago we headed out for dinner at Yuuga, but due to severe traffic while passing Chevron Island, we decided to try out this small place by the side of Thomas Drive. The environment and setting were generally pleasant and comforting, but…as soon as the food were served, we immediately felt negative towards the overall experience.

The chicken terriyaki was so salty I had to order a Coke just to bare with the unspeakable horror. Fon ordered something with soft crab and was also disappointed with the quantity of the serving. The meals aren’t terribly expensive but on an average Australian setting you would certainly expect more. The terriyaki set I had which came with steamed rice, vegies, and a choice of hot or cold udon/soba costed around $14 and the soft crab Fon selected costed $12 plus additional charges for a set meal.

It was Friday dinner time and there was one waitress servicing the entire restaurant. Not that the restaurant is big, it comprised of about 10-15 tables. If you are interested to check this place out, be sure to practice your Japanese because the waitress surely had difficulties understanding most of our enquiries. After leaving the restaurant for about 30 minutes I suffered stomach pain followed by loose bowel movement. So I guess if you are having constipation then pay a visit to Soba So Good for a quick fix.

We are convinced to offer a 2 out of 10 for Soba So Good as it is one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever encountered. Reading from their business card you would find that this authentic Japanese restaurant is brought to you by Yoshi & Kei Shibazaki who apparently have produced various other eateries in Japan, Singapore and Australia.

Short visit in Port Moresby

Here are a few shots taken recently while daddy visited us shortly last week.

While daddy was here we had a great time playing soccer. It was a game of girls vs boys and the boys team lost by 10/6. Sadly I had to watch them play since they didn’t allow players with baby walkers. Just you wait…
