SUSHI ASADAL SUSHI, PARRAMATTA

 So apparently 
'In Korean mythology and history, Asadal was the capital city of Gojoseon'.
But that doesn't even matter cause the sushi at Asadal is YUM YUM YUM,

3 YUMS = BLOODY EXCELLENT

CAUSE WHEN YOU DINE IN THE WEST, YOU DIGEST YA FOOD BETTER

Service was slightly less yum 'cause the sushi man kept pressuring us to buy some more of his yum sushi during our first visit but the next time we went (cause, you know, we just had to go back for some more) we brought 20 more people with us so he was far more contempt with our order so the sushi man was pimpin after that....................

NOTICE: SUSHI FROM $2.50
(this bargain of a price was probably the reason the sushi man was mad pressuring us to buy more food but i mean like theres only so much of a sushi baby your stomach can handle so sorry sushi man)
asadal is BYOB, WEG recommends Moscato best with Asadal sushi...........

Platter of Samuel Rolls only $22
definitely worth it seeing as this is the most delish grilled seafood on suhshi on beautiful minimal asian plate you will probably ever try

tiger rollz

Baby spider roll plate definitely recommended babby baby

COOLIBAH 2.0, MERRYLANDS

After a 5 second treck in the freezing cold from our less freezing cold crib in the West, we finally reached the Coolibah Hotel of slightly-more-merry Merrylands!!
Just in time for happy hr! Woohoo!!!
before 9 pm cocktails are $6
after that only $10!
Talk about a bargain!
The bar at the Coolibah is seriously one of the greatest things to hit the West End
so next time you feel like kicking back with the locals of the West in a slightly more East end manner, head to the Coolibah, brah!






THE ELIMINATOR
the name says it all.
but just incase it hasn't said enough, take a sip from one of these babies and youll never wanna leave the West!




 The Japanese Slipper Cocktail ^^^

THIS IS THE BEST DRINK EVER ^^^ THE TOBLERONE COCKTAIL!
VERY DELICIOUS TASTES JUST LIKE AN EXCELLENT ICE CHOCOLATE!

 This is what $72 of cocktails looks like ^^^
The V friendly/hospitable staff of the Coolibah supplied us with complimentary cheese & crackers on plastic disposable pl8s! So very chic!




The Coolibah Bar,

THE BARON, CASTLE HILL


The next time you're bothered to go to Castle Hill, North-West of Sydney, (emphasis on the bothered cause this place is far if you live far from it) you really should go to The Baron. It's only down the road from the restaurant section of Castle Hill shopping centre and is sorta hidden to the left and past the lights, you know what just use google maps....


The Baron is a coffee shop/small bar (just incase you totally dismissed the image above) Us WEG arrived here the other night just in time for their dinner time menu and were seated right at the back in a tiny corner near the concrete wall


The waitress was really friendly and very insightful in regards to the menu and explained everything to us in extreme detail which was quite nice cause the place was pretty busy but she made time for us so thanks waitress! 


Our first order was the sour bread taste plate which featured olive oil, butter & salt with a chicken liver pate 
tasty start 



 Cheese and meat plate followed- excellent for those who enjoy small portions and sharing. Great for some food with drinks and if you are not too hungry


Lamb skewers came shortly after with pita bread, tzaiki, spinach & beetroot relish 
We also ordered the smashed potatoes as a side 
Real good, real generous serving size too!
Their serving of the meals wooden boards was a great touch we thought....


Decor of the baron is pretty hip, and definitely recommended for a change of scenery from the usual commercial resturant hub around Castle Hill.

                  


Sailor jerry cocktail was delish!
