Yesterday was a different Saturday for me. Instead of the usual sleep in, I got up around 8-ish before heading out for a session of tennis! And that was Super NICE! After tennis I went home for a good shower before meeting up with Yobi for lunch @ Dim Sim cafe, formerly known as Hoi’s Kitchen which turned out to be yummy! The squid tentacles were the crispiest in Perth. Next time I’ll be sure to grab my camera and do a full review on it!
After that I came home about 3-ish and did some work until my sister rang me up and told me she was super hungry. Again it was time for so yummy food! My sister was fed up of Northbridge so she decided to try somewhere new. Her friend recommended us a Japanese place called Ohnamiya @ Applecross which I blindly followed only to realise that they have a branch just outside my house called Oh Namiya… ohh gawd @@!. I have just confirmed that the menu is exactly the same except for a few desserts which were not on Oh Namiya’s menu.
When we reached there about half pass six, the place was packed like canned sardines. Pretty damn impressive for a “take away” place. On a side note, there was a pizza place next to the Ohnamiya which was empty. Felt so sad for the dude that owns it. Fortunately the wait did not take more than 20 minutes before the friendly waitress had us sitted. Having waited for some time gave me a chance to decide what I will be having for my dinner :()! Truth be said, it did not take long considering the Ohnamiya was famous for 3 particular dishes in which 1 of it included Mayonnaise for the win! I am known to be sucker for Mayonnaise especially when paired with fried foods or teriyaki dishes.
Some of the food that we ordered:
My Chicken Terimayo @$9.90! Loved the Teriyaki sauce, loved the burned dollops of Jap Mayo, loved the dish!
Om nom nom nom!!
My sister ordered the chicken katsu curry. Not sure how much it costs but I think it was about $12. She enjoyed her meal of curry and crumbled chicken. But YH and I was not fond of the curry because it was not sweet enough. I think sweet Japanese curries are the only ones we like!
YH’s and Feng’s both ordered Karaage with Sushi Bento @ $12.80. He said it was nice but he felt that Toraya @ Subiaco does a better job with the Karaage :*(. Not that it is was not nice, just not THAT nice. At least he did not give it a fail like the Karaage @ Taka which he hates to the max ahaha. Yvonne on the other hand ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Deluxe Bento @ $14.80 which is a two level bento meal. Superb value and taste. She said the food is an OK.
At the end of the meal, everyone was filled to the brim. But two people were not finished. Hohohoho.. My sister and I decided to finish it with a popular specialty dessert of this place. It was the Green Tea Panna Cotta @ $5 a serve. A dessert made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, before firming it gelatine mixture.

Yummy yummy!
There are several reasons why I liked this dessert and could have another 1 despite being filled to the bream. Firstly the Penna Cotta is not that kind dessert that will have you frightened of sugar for the next decade. A consistently smooth texture throughout the dessert made it a pleasure to the tongue. Also, the cream felt light and it did not make me feel sick. Lastly it is just so pretty to look at :)!
Oh and believe it or not, my camera had problems taking a good photograph of the Panna Cotta because it was so smooth that the macro went bonkers!
All ended good for this meal even though we could have just walked to the one outside my place. After all the discovery of a yummy Penna Cotta is well worth the distance ;-)! Hopefully everyone felt the meal was good. I know my sister liked it and YH was ok. Hopefully Feng and Yvonne liked it too!!
