Wow what's wrong with me. Posting so often :) I guess I'm making up for being so slack previously.
Anyways on with the review. Tonight I had pizza, and it was really the worst pizza that I had for the price. Initially I wanted to go to this Pizzeria, inside the Queen Victoria, but I decided against it, for some unknown reason... (probably because I wasn't hungry yet). So I decided to walk around Melbourne and see what's out there where I saw "Tono's Pizzeria" which is next to Maccas (don't ask for the road :). I decided to give it a try and for $17 got a large pizza the "Tono Super Special" ... boy what a mistake. I took it back to my hotel room to eat, and couldn't eat half of it, it was so bad. I ended up just eating the topping to make sure I didn't go hungry.
Since I'm staying in Chinatown, I'll try an actual chinese restaurant for tomorrow I think. :)

Melbourne - Really four seasons in one day.
Sitting at the client's workplace today, on the 23rd level of the building, I look outside and see that it's raining. I think to myself that it's lucky that I made it into work before it started raining (even though my hotel's only a block away, it could've been closer but I seem to jip myself with hotels :)
Anyways, I put my head down to work and after a while I look outside again and it's stopped raining, the sun's out and there's a rainbow right outside my window. It must've been off the hotel pool in the building across the road.
Put my head down to work again and look up (you get the point), and it's bloody pouring outside. I couldn't see past 5 or 6 blocks because it was cloudy etc. Anyways it's really true what they say. In Melbourne you do really experience four seasons in a day. :)

Melbourne Restaurant Review. Part 1. :)
Hey!!
I got sent to Melbourne for a week or two for work, and since Melbourne's pretty lonely, not to mention boring by yourself, I decided I'll do something fun and map out some restaurants.
The plan is that every night I'm going to a different restaurant for dinner and then write up what I think about it . With work paying (mostly) for dinner, I decided I should try and map out some nice restaurants to revisit, when I come back to Melbourne for pleasure instead of business.
Tonight, I just went a japanese restaurant just outside my hotel called Kuni. Apparently it's meant to be Melbourne's oldest (or one of) Japenese restaurants. Reading the reviews on the net (I did my research before going :), the opinions were mixed, with some people recommending the sushi and sashimi and other people saying that the waiters are basically at your side all the time.
I have to say that because I've probably been spoilt by the nice food at Komachi, I found that the sushi and sashimi was not very good. I ordered the Mariosake or something similar, which is a sushi and sashimi mix, for $25. The sushi consisted mainly seafood sushi and the sashimi consisted of tuna, salmon and jewfish (i think).
It was presented in a nice way, but the sushi was warm... which really doesn't taste very nice as it's all squishy :). The sashimi was nice, but I've had nicer elsewhere.
Summary (scores out of 5):
Service: 2-3 (or 5 depends if u like the feeling of waiters at your side all the time, yes the comments were true.)
Food: 3-4
Value for Money: 3
Recommended? Not really, I have to try out some other Jap restaurants before I can say anything. :)
I spotted a pizzeria on my way home tonight. I think that'll be dinner for tomorrow night.
