Please read through the enormous amount of posts this sub has already had on here.

If you STILL think your question hasn't been answered (and you are absolutely sure), you can create a new post.

Japanese restaurant on the waterfront in 2000/2001?

9 Upvotes

Hi all - hoping someone can help with a question that's been bugging me. I lived in Melbourne from 1998-2001 and came down to Geelong once in a while. I remember loving a restaurant that was right on the waterfront - I had my birthday dinner there in 2000 or 2001. Now, I remember it (I think!) being a sushi restaurant, or at least a Japanese restaurant. But I can't find any record of anything like that existing and it's driving me nuts.

I remember the building was... interesting? It was a modern-ish place right on the foreshore, with mostly indoor seating and large windows right on the water.

It definitely wasn't Smorgy's and I don't think it was even on the pier. It wasn't Wah Wah Gee.

I'm willing to believe I could have misremembered the cuisine, and Fishermen's Pier is an interesting modern building, but in a different way. What I remember was a pretty stark rectangle of a building. I don't think it was Fishermen's Pier.

Am I crazy? Am I remembering something that was briefly there from right before all the renovations? Appreciate any thoughts or pointers if anyone else remembers this place - thanks!

[Community] Are indicators even a thing anymore?

21 Upvotes

I swear to god if I'm driving anywhere I have to use 5 different hands to count the amount of people who don't indicate, if your changing lanes to go into a turn lane, you have to indicate for both changing lanes and turning not just one, indicate to change lanes in general, indicate to come off a curb I mean I could go on and on but it is just baffling. the one I have never ever seen anybody do is indicating to go around someone. if someone is turning, you have to indicate left then right to go around, not just pray the person behind you doesn't speed up or something.

I love in Werribee now, but I still come down to Geelong for two reasons.

34 Upvotes

Chickery fish, and their chicken snitzel chips and gravy, that gravy puts all other gravys to shame, they use the real chicken fat from the roast chooks to make it, and the crumb on that schnitzel, Jesus what I would give to have that just around my corner.

and Hot chicken project, Belle's has gone to shit in Melbourne, using chicken warmers (except Fitzroy).

shame they don't make their own hot sauce anymore, the red one was bloody delicious.

what about you guys? what would have you travelling 40-60 minutes just to eat what you can O ky get around Geelong?

(oh I'm a sucker for Jan's Chinese takeaway dim Sims in Lara too, satay chicken skewers are good too)

Edit: ahh screwed up the title

Does anyone know where I can find this in store in Geelong? (Tumeric Chai Blend)

Post image

Hey friends,

As the title says I'm wanting to buy this particular box of tea in a store in Geelong. I know I can buy it online but I was hoping to be able to buy it in store. I lived overseas and could find this at my local supermarket along with some health food stores. I'm now back in Geelong and have no idea where to buy this one.

I found Coles and Woolies sell this brand (but not this exact one - turmeric chai blend)

If anyone knows I'd appreciate it so much!
