Red Pepper Indian Restaurant

One of my friends from my graduate school days in New York had moved to Melbourne several years ago, and was fortunately available to meet us for lunch while were in town; even more conveniently, she works down the road from our hotel, and suggested an excellent Indian restaurant around the corner from where she works and where we happened to be staying.

I can't recall the name of the dish we each ordered, but each of us got four different curries (my friend ordered the vegetarian curry options, while my husband and I got three curries with meat), rice, and naan.

Wagyu One

We're spending two nights in Melbourne, and tonight my husband was in the mood for something a bit fancy, so we located Wagyu One, a Japanese BBQ restaurant around the corner from our hotel.

We ordered the Wagyu One Dinner Complete. It started with assorted sashimi and tempura, then a choice of soups (I ordered the seaweed soup; my husband had the miso soup). Along with steamed rice, our BBQ came with MS 5 Sirloin, oyster blade, ramp, diced cut ox tongue, Negi tongue, Chu-Toro, Scotch fillet, chuck rib, flat meat, and vegetables. (Aside from the vegetables and ox tongue, I'm not sure I'd be able to identify which meat was which.) It was a fantastic meal.

meats to our liking.
