Have You Ever Had Airline Food You Actually Liked?

Malaysian Airlines does a good nasi lemak, although flying back from KL after eating the real deal it's more a sad reminder that you're on your way home.

London's Cool New Breakfast: Bento

Japanese breakfasts are what's up. While some of the traditional options might not seem appealing as the Western ones (fried thing, pastries, cereal) - a couple of onigiri, baked salmon, some miso soup and some fruit keep you full for ages.

Going to Japan

Here's couple of Tokyo spots you should think about hitting, they're both in Mark Robinson's book 'Izakaya: The Japanese Pub Cookbook'.

Morimoto in Shibuya does some awesome yakitori, they're renowned for their tsukune.

Address:
1F Hamanoue Bldg
Tokyo-to, Shibuya-ku, Dogenzaka 2-7-4

Saiki in Ebisu is also another awesome little izakaya. The seating charge gets you three little dishes which are freshly made and incredible. They also have semi-frozen sake which is amazing.

Address: Tokyo-to, Shibuya-ku, Ebisu-nishi 1-7-12

What food will you not compromise on? Even if it means mucho $$$

I'm flexible on most things except Reggiano Parmesan, scotch and chocolate.

Serious Sandwiches: The Aussie Burger

Pineapple has no place on a burger! But I'd say (as an Australian) beetroot has as many fans as it has haters. Plus that restaurant you mentioned seems like one of those upscale burger joints that have been opening all over - touting their rather expensive burgers as a healthy option. Real heads know it's the local fish and chip shop that brings the goods.
