Mid-week dinner date

We grabbed a quick dinner recently at the International Food Hall in East Victoria Park. Jac ordered a small teriyaki tofu meal. We’ve found over the years that small is a good enough size for a decent feed. You do get a bowl of miso as well as the rice, salad and your choice of […]
