The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️

Nobu

We visited Nobu for Mum's birthday. Having both worked there a couple years, it was our first time trying the premium bento. It featured a very wide spread of food from the Nobu menu and we'd recommend getting this you've dined at Nobu a couple times before. Yes, it is a $79 bento, but you'll be hard pressed to find a premium selection like this anywhere else. Chances are, there'll be at least one dish in the premium bento which you haven't tried.

Fun fact: Paige and I met each other while working at Nobu!

Nobu Premium Bento Box $79

Each Nobu Premium Bento Box comes with:

🐟 Seafood Ceviche
🦞 Lobster Spinach Salad with Dry Miso
🍣 Chef's Premium Sushi Selection
πŸ₯© Beef Tenderloin with Truffle Teriyaki Sauce
πŸ¦€ King Crab Tempura with Amazu Ponzu Sauce
🍚 Rice with Roasted Cauliflower Jalapeño
πŸ₯£ Miso Soup
πŸ“Crown Metropol Perth, Great Eastern Hwy, Burswood (located on the right of Atrium and Lobby Lounge)

What We Ate 🍴

JBento

Disclaimer
We were given $60 dining credit to use at JBento.

We were invited by The Wonder Co to dine at JBento - a minimalistic modern Japanese restaurant serving up highly customisable bento. We've been dining at JBento for over half a decade and enjoyed some favourites.

Be sure to check out our reel later this week!

πŸ”₯ Aburi salmon bento with matcha soba $20.9

Mamba Corner (by Anything Lah)

Paige finally satisfied her craving for ramly burgers. Ramly burgers are a quintessential Malaysian street food, usually dirt cheap with a processed-tasting patty, but guaranteed to take you down a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Mamba Corner operates at Anything La Corner on Friday and Saturday's from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm.

πŸ§€ Ramly Burger Single $6.5 // πŸ” Ramly Burger Special $9.5
