WEEKLY DIGEST 096 | 19 JAN 2024
We'll be on break.
This weekend, we'll be joining what seems like the rest of Australia in Japan. So we'll probably be taking a break from Pekopeko until March or so (or until I can muster up the motivation to post again).
We're also thinking of expanding the website "repertoire" to include more travel bloggy stuff too. The last time we were in Japan was in late 2018 / early 2019, so we're looking forward to checking out things like Shibuya Sky, the Warner Brothers studio and we even managed to get tickets to check out the new teamLab in Azabudai Hills.
Let us know that that content interests you!
I'm quite looking forward to photographing things which aren't.. just food. And making the most of my new-ish Ricoh GR IIIx and Sony 70-200mm f4 macro lens (big zoom boi).
Catch you guys on the other side!
also time to start packing lol

The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️
The Wang's Treasure House
The Wang's Treasure House's dim sum offering wins the best thing we ate last week. From a price-to-taste ratio, Paige reckons she also enjoyed the food here more dim sum she had recently at our usual, Canton Lane in Belmont.
The pineapple buns hit my Asian pastry - bun cravings.
What We Ate 🍴
Rossonero Pizzeria
We've probably been here a dozen times now, and Rossonero Pizzeria has yet to disappoint. The King is still our favourite pizza here. And Paige and I will gladly commit the foodie faux pas of.. Ordering the same thing. That's how much we love The King ❤️.
Price point is also very, very competitive. I dined with a couple colleagues and easily inhaled.. 1 and a half pizzas.. 🙈
Pekopeko Eats
Dessert Garden
After inhaling copious amounts of pizza, we wanted something lighter for dessert. That's were Dessert Garden came in clutch.
I think I personally prefer their snowflake ice (peal milk tea snowflake ice being my pick), given the ice is more powdery. But this one was still great.
Pekopeko Eats
Cakespresso
Thanks to our friend @brb.bbt (she's our brain trust when it comes to bubble tea reviews) for grabbing us some of Cakespresso's cream puffs (not pictured - the durian one). The cream puffs here were delicious!
El Pollo Loco
Our Friday night consisted of sweating it out in the terribly warm weather and enjoying El Pollo Loco - a new charcoal chicken place that's opened up in Mount Lawley.
Chicken was good and it's a decent competitor to On Fire Charcoal Chicken. If you were to ask which one is "better", I'd probably opt for On Fire Charcoal Chicken. There are some aspects which I enjoyed more at El Pollo Loco and some aspects I enjoyed more at On Fire Charcoal Chicken.
TL;DR - if you're NOR, go to El Pollo Loco. If you're SOR, go to On Fire Charcoal Chicken.
Cafe Guilty Pleasure
By the time we were done with dinner, we decided to seek refuge from the rain, next door at Cafe Guilty Pleasure. Paige opted for an einspanner while I opted for a refreshing blended ice yuzu drink.
Chopsticks Viet Restaurant
Rounding up this week of eating is an old favourite - Chopsticks Viet Restaurant's shaking beef.
