Although we chose 1pm we arrived early at 12.30pm and found that there was already people lining up for the same timeslot. The ticket only reserves you a spot in the line at that timeslot however you still might have to wait when you arrive just depending on how fast people are dining before you (but better than waiting hours!)


The wonton was not soggy at all and added a great texture to the ramen. When we bit into the soft boiled egg the yolk oozed out perfectly (see video below).


If you ever visit Tokyo I would highly recommend making some time to visit Tsuta. Although you might have to make two trips to collect your reserved ticket I definitely would not regret it (and essentially saves you time!)

For a very long time, J and I have always wanted to try Shake Shack ever since hearing about it from friends who've ventured out to the States. So upon hearing the news that there were a few Shake Shack joints popping up in Tokyo, we were jumping for joy as we were heading there.

There is only one word to describe the meal: PERFECTION! Everything about their burgers was PERFECT starting from their medium cooked juicy Angus beef patty, topped with tasty melted cheese and crisp, fresh lettuce and tomato. Their buttery potato burger buns were the best we have ever tasted! They were toasted just right.
Of course no burger is complete without fries! We both opted for a regular order of their famous crinkle cut fries and cheese fries.

The Shack Stack Burger includes a portobello mushroom which is infused with melted cheese. After the first bite the cheesy goodness started to ooze out, what a beautiful sight!

We also went for the Double Shack Burger. It was so good we almost forgot to take a photo. The beef patty is of a course grind so you can really taste the beefiness and the texture is just awesome. Such a pleasure to eat.

To wash down our meal we tried the Black Sesame Shake. We love black sesame desserts!

In the past year or so, the number of burger joints in Western Sydney has increased. One of which includes Wakeley's very own burger joint, Superior Burger.

It claims to be the Best in the West. We don't know if that is the case, but we do know that the burgers are pretty damn awesome!



The exterior of the store looks like any take away shop and inside is reminiscent of an old school diner.

We had the Superior Burger - Beef, cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickles and housemade superior sauce. The special aspect of their beef patties is that they're salt-aged which helps keep the patties juicy and pink on the inside. This burger was a little bit on the salty side but it was still really delicious.

Superior Burger - $15

We also grabbed their fried chicken burger - The Bird. Deep fried chicken fillet coated with crushed Doritos (YES, DORITOS), slaw, cheese and mayo. We thoroughly enjoyed this burger. This chicken was super crunchy, succulent and flavoursome. So good!

The Bird - $18

It's so good now that the west has more burger options, and Superior Burger does a great job at it!
