Speaker 1 (00:00):
Laura, Oh my goodness, the food looks and smells amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I hope you're hungry.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is this service podcast. Hello, and welcome back to
serve to where we are serving you up a ton
of great FOODI suggestions around the nation's capital. I am
your host, Mick Carajuana, and I won't lie. I am
extremely excited. I am off to the Gold Coast for
a week next week. I think I'm more excited though,
to get away from the camera cold than I am
(00:26):
to actually go to the theme parks. And that is
telling you something. But speaking of going on holidays, today's
special guest is also going away very soon, but somewhere
more exciting than the Gold Coast. She is going to Japan.
I am extremely jealous. So many people are going to
Japan at the moment. It is frustrating. I could go,
(00:48):
I could go, I should go. I probably won't go.
So in a way to come at my jealousy and
hopefully yours as well, I have asked food influenza and
Canberra fan Jessica Kashell to jump on the podcast and
tell us a few of her favorite Japanese restaurants. Here
in the act. That way, while she's busy enjoying her
time in the Northern Hemisphere. We aren't being left empty
handed back here. We also talk about how she got
(01:11):
into being a food influencer as well. Plus we also
talk about a few of the food challenges that she's
going to do while she's overseas. That is all on
the Way and more on this episode of Served. Doing
this podcast has allowed me to not only meet some
(01:32):
just really amazing people, but also get some inspiration on
places that I should try. I have just loved following
their page. Jessica Koshelle. She is a travel influencer, a
food influencer, a gamer as well. She does it all
and she's a Canberra fan and she joins me today Jessica,
how are you going?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
How you I'm good with it? Now? How did you
start becoming a food influencer?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So it started years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Now, I was part of an initiative with Visit Canbra
So they did, Yeah, it was called Human Brochure. So
they chose one hundred and one local camerans. It was
called one hundred one Local Humans and it was basically
we got to go to a whole bunch of different events.
Do activities go to restaurants and sort of advertise that
on our socials. Yeah, So through that I grew my following.
It was so much fun. We did a lot of
sort of after dark activities, so we got to see
(02:18):
all the big things like Questacon, Cockington Green, like when
no one.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Else gets to see them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, And then I sort of grew a following from there,
and then I had to decide sort of where.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
My passions really were. Started with fashion.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I realized that people really didn't know much about Camebra
and how underrated it really is, and I just love
sharing it with everybody and it made me so happy.
And a part of that would be the food scene
we have here, like that's also so underrated. Yeah, so
I just started sharing all the good food adventures.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You've grown up in camera I have.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, so you along with me, I know, you've seen
the food scene grow and it's just been so much
better lately, hasn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
How long ago was this initiative that you're a part of.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It was in twenty thirteen or fourteen, so quite some
time Agoat's changed heaps.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So you've seen the change. What were a few places
back then that you got to were their food places
you got to try back then.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, so we went to Parlor Wine Room. That's sort
of where it started. That's obviously still around Capitol Growing Co.
We got a tour through there. I think they were
the main food ones. Interesting, but we went to a
lot of sort of catered events where they'd bring in
catering from various restaurants.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, that is very cool and I would love them
to do an initiative like that. Oh yeah, if they
did that, would you be the first one to put
your hand up?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yes, I do half eight. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, I mean you're kind of doing it now in
a way with your Instagram. You go around to all
these awesome places and you try different things. What are
some of your favorite places to go in Canberra?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I think my top picks Gusses as a breakfast brunch options.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Interesting. Yeah, yeah, I don't think I've been to Gusses.
I think I've been once, but that was years ago.
But I haven't been.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
There's one meal that I get every time I completarly
feel what it's called, Oh gosh, It's it's basically cheriso tortilla.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's like sort of a Perry Sauce.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's incredible for breakfast. Yes, no egg it's good. Yeah,
yeah where else?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Love Papa Rich that's oh yeah a favorite. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sushi Musa and Woden that's like a weekly adventure. A
partner and I were there, yea almost weekly. Love the
Sushi train, same time, same day, literally every Friday. Followed
by the movies sometimes. Jelatissimo is a favorite.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Desserts just because of.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Their different flavors, Like they're like monthly, I think, pumping
out new flavors, which is so fun.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have you tried the new gelato place in the city,
the one that he's kind of across from. Yeah, haven't yet,
haven't on the list. Yeah, it's on my list as well.
I've seen a lot of cool things on the Instagram.
A few people from here got to go do a
little taste test and you'd be shocked how great a
gelato can taste, even during a Canberra winter. Yeah, like,
(04:58):
you know, that's probably not the top of my that
you want to try, but you know it will change
your life.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's good when you're rugged up cold weather. Hold is
good one.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
What's your go to meal choice from Pappa.
Speaker 2 (05:10):

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, what sort of protein do you have?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Usually? Seafood? Interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I know a lot of people that don't like a
seafood likes.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
My mum and dad always go for the combination because
you get the best of all the world, your chicken,
your lamb, and your beef. But I myself am a
chicken or a seafood person, and I think you are,
jess And I'm honored to say you were the first
person I've ever met my life who also likes the
seafood lask like that. It's nice that there's more of
us out there. So I've also got you on here
(05:46):
today because I really want to talk about you your
meals on reels too. I love it. It's such a
fun little idea that you're doing over on your Instagram page.

Kashelle on Instagram. It is so fun and it really
just gets you to show highlight the new businesses and
everything around Canberra. What have been some of your favorite episodes?

I really enjoyed Gami was a very fun one. Yeah.
Just the dishes they have there, like they've got the
chicken corn do so it's like a corn based cheese
fondu and you dip fried chicken and tan.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That was incredible.

Yeah, I went to about like a year ago there
was like remember it was on TikTok and it was
the chicken wing hackens how yeah, like twist the chicken
wing bones.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I went to Gammy to get the chicken wings and
I'm not a huge chicken wing fan, but by god,
they had some good wings.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah. The flavors are great.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And if you're saying I can dip that in cheese
as well, I'm going back to Gammy there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I really enjoy just standard burger fries episodes. Yeah, just
I love burgers a lot, so just it's such a
classic meal and I love sharing where you can find
the best ones in Canbra Oh yeah yeah, and I
guess here there's so many options, like it's never just
you know, hamburger, cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The places in Canbra you've got massive menus.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's extensive. Do you have a go to shop.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
OSSI's doing really good sides.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So they have like the jalapeno poppers and like tato tots.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There was a time during COVID because my mum and
dad are Southside, so when I was back living with
mum and dad, boll i am again. But this was
years ago. Oskar's was one of the only places that
you could order from on like menu log and delivery
and stuff. It was like, you know, you'd have like
your your macasine stuff, but then if you wanted something better,
then you'd probably go to Oski's.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I haven't had them in years. Oh man, I've got
to go back now too.

like my taste buds were confused. But then I walked

was called it wasn't like a California one, but it
had like smoked salmon and cream cheese and capers in it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Oh that's interesting, And I was just like.
Speaker 1 (08:33):

into it, I was like, I don't know how I
feel about this, but I love it. I recommend it.
The fried chicken from the little Fried Chicken place in there. Yeah, yeah,
I can't remember what it's called, but it's great. But
you have perfectly segueed onto the next part that I
want to talk about is your trips to Japan. Now
(08:58):
I've got you to do some research into tell us
some of your favorite places to eat in Camber that
are Japanese. But before we do, are you excited to
go to Japan?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Where are you going? Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So who was starting in a soaka and between a
soccer and Kyoto. We're going to Nara to see the
deer and biscuits. Then we're heading onto Yokohama and Tokyo
and we might do a couple of day trips from
each of those.
Speaker 1 (09:20):

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:22):

Every day is a different color. It's to the minute.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, have you I love that to the minute?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh man? Have you locked in food places that you're
going to? Are you just going to go over there
and feel the vibe.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
There's a few that are locked in, so we're going
to sort of two viral places. So we've got the
Mochi place in Nara. Oh yeah, and that's where you
can watch the demonstration how they make it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So they go in with his massive sort of hammer
and their hands. So one person's like whacking it and
the other ones like.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I saw that on ticket. Yeah, I thought someone was
taking the mickey.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No, it's real.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
One to three pm. Nara. They do it there.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
That is so cool.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah, and we're going to Kichikichi omer Rice, which is
the omer Rice place, and the chef puts on this
big show.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It looks really fun.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So I'm surprised because we were talking off Mike about
a Pokemon I'm surprised you're not going to the Pokemon Cafe.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We have missed out on tickets.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
So it was two hours of suspense.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They book out so quickly. Yeah, so we're.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Often just popping back onto the website to see if
tickets get released. Let people sort of give up their spots.
If they do, brilliant. If not, we're going to go
to the Pikachu Sweets Cafe.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Smart a good alternative exactly. Well, that sounds awesome. But
for those who aren't going to Japan anytime soon me,
I have gotten you to think about your favorite places
at Japanese restaurants here in Canberra. I've got a few
as well. Just so then, yeah, the listeners, they don't
feel like they're missing out, you know. So one that
(11:04):
I want to throw to you straight away, And I've
spoken about this place so many times on the podcast before,
but it's lazy. Sue and it's Baby Suit. Yeah, I
love them so much. It's the it's the bowgers, it's
the spring rolls, it's the everything they've got. It is
just fantastic. And with Baby Sue the waffle fries, Oh
what agreed?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Perfect? What place do you have to throw up?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Probably tacky, incredible. Tiger Lane.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, they do a cheeseburger argue dumpling, so you have
your cheeseburger spring rolls. Yeah, amazing. They do the dumpling
so good. It's it's a cheeseburgers. It's incredible. Yeah, one
of the best sides I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Wow, I'm not a huge cheeseburger spring roll fan, but
dumpling dumpling. It just sounds like a little compact burger.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yah. It literally is, Oh my incredible, Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
My gosh, you got anari also just next to very good, fantastic.
If you want your Urama though. Canteen near Capitol Brewing
in Fishwick, they do some fantastic ramen. Canteen used to
be Ramen Daddy that was in Verity Lane, but now
they've moved, but their ramen is just fantastic. I don't
(12:13):
know if they're still doing their fries though, but they
did some fries with like this really cool like Japanese
season on the top.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I was there last week. That's on the menu.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, yeah, thank goodness. What ramen did you pick?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I went for the classic, so the pot Yeah, and
we also got the mozzarella katsu sando and I don't
know if you've tried it before, but it's one of
those sandwiches and there's so much cheese in it. You
literally just spread it apart and it just cheese everywhere.
It just stretches out like a meter more brilliant. That
might be my next meals and reels. Actually I filmed
last week.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, the canteen.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, yeah, Canteen. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I don't feel like we need to go on with
the list now. I feel like we found the best places. No,
what else have you got?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
A keeper?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Highly recommend they do the sixty five dollars me menu,
so you just go in and they give you their favorites.
It's amazing if you just want a selection. Yeah, my
favorites from there would be probably the Boo bun. Also
the eggplant.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I think that's a very underrated dish. It's incredible. The
flavors are amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I know that Akiba do a snack menu as well,
which is like one to three, and they have a
few bow buns, a few sides and everything on it.
Bow buns are fantastic. But the egg plant is on
that little snacks menu, and I won't lie. I always
overlook it because there's kalamari on there, and I go,
I want the kalamari. But you're saying the egg plants
the way.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, it's so surprising, it's great.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, Okay. If you're liking the sound of all of
these and you're thinking, man, I'd just prefer to go
to a place where I can just eat all the
sushi in the world, well then I've got the persfect face.
It's called Akami. It is in Morson, but it's also
in Braddon as well. It is basically all you can
eat Japanese. It is fantastic. My only tip though, is
if you do go and the waiters and waitresses keep
coming over just saying would you like to order more,
(13:56):
finish your food first and then figure out afterwards if
you're still hungry because I just kept ordering, going yeah,
I really like that, I'll get more and more.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, you can just end up with an entire table
and then.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You're like, well, I got to finish it now. I've
ordered a god But that's probably my out there. It's
on You've got your meals on reels. I've got this
thing called mixed bucket list. Yeah, okay, and I Akami
has been on my bucket list. I've ticked it off,
but I haven't spoken about it on the podcast before,
I don't think so. Maybe that's when I've got to go.
I got to go to while you're over in Japan,
I'll go tech check a Kami out.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's lots of fun too. It's a really cool place.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It is really cool. What else have you got?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
So? I guess for standard. I love sushi probably one
of my favoriteits. I've got sushi Hub Intugrono. So I
go to, yeah, so south Point quite often, just it's
so close to home. They do tamaga yuki, which is
one of my favorite sort of snacks, which is like
the egg, like a sweet egg, little chunky explain it.
They also do these little like rice sandwiches and it's
(14:52):
basically like between two layers of rice, salmon, avocado egg.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
They're really good, really yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And then Sushi Musa for train.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
If we go, we venture out past Hugrinong, Yeah, and
they do really good.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Run into actually you.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Venture into the depths of Logan the way. I've walked
past Sushi Hub many times before. And I'm not saying
because I normally go down stairs to the sushi place
in South Point? Oh, is that what's that one?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I Thinkshi Sushi.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think it might be Sushi Suhi. I always go.
I always go there. That's my go to one. And
I don't know what it is, but just they've got
like a lot of black rice roll selection.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, they do. They're really good.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
But maybe I'll need to sorry Sushi. That's so hard
to say. Maybe I have to say goodbye to them
for a bit and check out Sushi Hub. It's really
good quick fix. I don't get one of those sandwiches
that sounds. Yeah, they're really good my last one because
I was going to say a kbra as well, But
I mean we've covered that extensively. It's one that I
haven't tried, but we speak about it on the radio
(15:49):
show that I've been I'm a part of Camera Wrapped

for lunch and her as well, and it just looks
really sweet. I don't know how else to describe it,
but it just looks really nice and cute. The menu
looks fantastic as well, and it's in that little Kingston
precinct where if you can't get a seat inside, there's
like little picnic tables out the Oh yeah, like you

So we're starting with twenty four hours of only eating
from seven eleven right. Apparently the meals there are just
iconic and delicious, so we're going to give that a go.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Really.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, we have a whole list of snacks just to
try from seven to eleven a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm glad that you've said that, because when you first
said that you're going to do twenty four hours just
eating at seven eleven, I was gonna go, you could
do that here, Yeah, and it wouldn't be fantastic. I
feel like the seven eleven's here in Canber at least
are a lot to be desired.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I agree, But if you're saying that they're fantastic in Japan,
I support I support you. What's the other food challenge?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So twenty four hours only eating from vending machines right now?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That is a cool challenge because Japan has so many
vending machines.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, do you not food, cold food, apparently everything?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Do you kind of have a since you are the
itinerary girl and you're a planner, do you have an
idea or a rough idea of what sort of vending
machines you'll be aiming for?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Not at all.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So we're gonna do it in Tokyo because that's where
apparently the hub of a vending machines. Okay, my partner
is huge on his coffee, so he needs multiple a day,
So right off the bat, we're going to be finding
the coffee on. Yes, definitely sort of more breakfast foods
for the morning. We really want to experience what you know,
like a care to breakfast is.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You make it sound so good.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
And then definitely ram and I've seen some ram and
vending machines and they come warm.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Do they warm up after they prepackaged? Could they be
in one of those like special bowls that you just
got to like snap something.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
That's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, that's really cool. Are there any other sort of
vending machines a year? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
After lots of the dessert ones, yep, yeah there mochi
ones I'd love to find.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Out be a game changer.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Well now I kind of want to try this. Maybe
maybe I will do because I can't really do the
vending machine one because let's be really doing it here
in Canberra, I would just be drinking, yeah, basically, but
maybe I could try the seven to eleven one and
we can compare our notes how we went.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Okay, well watch this space then I'm sure Jess will
nail that out of the park and I'll just be
chewing on some boring old pies.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Well that's it.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You filled up on all the food content. You could
still a little package, check out other episodes.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Or follow our Instagram page. Saved Double Underscore podcast h
Laura, Oh my goodness, the food looks and smells amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I hope you're hungry.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is this service podcast. Hello, and welcome back to
serve to where we are serving you up a ton
of great FOODI suggestions around the nation's capital. I am
your host, Mick Carajuana, and I won't lie. I am
extremely excited. I am off to the Gold Coast for
a week next week. I think I'm more excited though,
to get away from the camera cold than I am
(00:26):
to actually go to the theme parks. And that is
telling you something. But speaking of going on holidays, today's
special guest is also going away very soon, but somewhere
more exciting than the Gold Coast. She is going to Japan.
I am extremely jealous. So many people are going to
Japan at the moment. It is frustrating. I could go,
(00:48):
I could go, I should go. I probably won't go.
So in a way to come at my jealousy and
hopefully yours as well, I have asked food influenza and
Canberra fan Jessica Kashell to jump on the podcast and
tell us a few of her favorite Japanese restaurants. Here
in the act. That way, while she's busy enjoying her
time in the Northern Hemisphere. We aren't being left empty
handed back here. We also talk about how she got
(01:11):
into being a food influencer as well. Plus we also
talk about a few of the food challenges that she's
going to do while she's overseas. That is all on
the Way and more on this episode of Served. Doing
this podcast has allowed me to not only meet some
(01:32):
just really amazing people, but also get some inspiration on
places that I should try. I have just loved following
their page. Jessica Koshelle. She is a travel influencer, a
food influencer, a gamer as well. She does it all
and she's a Canberra fan and she joins me today Jessica,
how are you going?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
How you I'm good with it? Now? How did you
start becoming a food influencer?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So it started years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Now, I was part of an initiative with Visit Canbra
So they did, Yeah, it was called Human Brochure. So
they chose one hundred and one local camerans. It was
called one hundred one Local Humans and it was basically
we got to go to a whole bunch of different events.
Do activities go to restaurants and sort of advertise that
on our socials. Yeah, So through that I grew my following.
It was so much fun. We did a lot of
sort of after dark activities, so we got to see
(02:18):
all the big things like Questacon, Cockington Green, like when
no one.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Else gets to see them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, And then I sort of grew a following from there,
and then I had to decide sort of where.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
My passions really were. Started with fashion.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I realized that people really didn't know much about Camebra
and how underrated it really is, and I just love
sharing it with everybody and it made me so happy.
And a part of that would be the food scene
we have here, like that's also so underrated. Yeah, so
I just started sharing all the good food adventures.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You've grown up in camera I have.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, so you along with me, I know, you've seen
the food scene grow and it's just been so much
better lately, hasn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
How long ago was this initiative that you're a part of.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It was in twenty thirteen or fourteen, so quite some
time Agoat's changed heaps.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So you've seen the change. What were a few places
back then that you got to were their food places
you got to try back then.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah, so we went to Parlor Wine Room. That's sort
of where it started. That's obviously still around Capitol Growing Co.
We got a tour through there. I think they were
the main food ones. Interesting, but we went to a
lot of sort of catered events where they'd bring in
catering from various restaurants.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, that is very cool and I would love them
to do an initiative like that. Oh yeah, if they
did that, would you be the first one to put
your hand up?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yes, I do half eight. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, I mean you're kind of doing it now in
a way with your Instagram. You go around to all
these awesome places and you try different things. What are
some of your favorite places to go in Canberra?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I think my top picks Gusses as a breakfast brunch options.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Interesting. Yeah, yeah, I don't think I've been to Gusses.
I think I've been once, but that was years ago.
But I haven't been.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
There's one meal that I get every time I completarly
feel what it's called, Oh gosh, It's it's basically cheriso tortilla.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's like sort of a Perry Sauce.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's incredible for breakfast. Yes, no egg it's good. Yeah,
yeah where else?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Love Papa Rich that's oh yeah a favorite. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sushi Musa and Woden that's like a weekly adventure. A
partner and I were there, yea almost weekly. Love the
Sushi train, same time, same day, literally every Friday. Followed
by the movies sometimes. Jelatissimo is a favorite.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Desserts just because of.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Their different flavors, Like they're like monthly, I think, pumping
out new flavors, which is so fun.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have you tried the new gelato place in the city,
the one that he's kind of across from. Yeah, haven't yet,
haven't on the list. Yeah, it's on my list as well.
I've seen a lot of cool things on the Instagram.
A few people from here got to go do a
little taste test and you'd be shocked how great a
gelato can taste, even during a Canberra winter. Yeah, like,
(04:58):
you know, that's probably not the top of my that
you want to try, but you know it will change
your life.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's good when you're rugged up cold weather. Hold is
good one.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
What's your go to meal choice from Pappa.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ridge a luxA.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, what sort of protein do you have?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Usually? Seafood? Interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I know a lot of people that don't like a
seafood likes.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
My mum and dad always go for the combination because
you get the best of all the world, your chicken,
your lamb, and your beef. But I myself am a
chicken or a seafood person, and I think you are,
jess And I'm honored to say you were the first
person I've ever met my life who also likes the
seafood lask like that. It's nice that there's more of
us out there. So I've also got you on here
(05:46):
today because I really want to talk about you your
meals on reels too. I love it. It's such a
fun little idea that you're doing over on your Instagram page.
If you want to check it out to search Jessica
Kashelle on Instagram. It is so fun and it really
just gets you to show highlight the new businesses and
everything around Canberra. What have been some of your favorite episodes?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I really enjoyed Gami was a very fun one. Yeah.
Just the dishes they have there, like they've got the
chicken corn do so it's like a corn based cheese
fondu and you dip fried chicken and tan.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That was incredible.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, I went to about like a year ago there
was like remember it was on TikTok and it was
the chicken wing hackens how yeah, like twist the chicken
wing bones.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I went to Gammy to get the chicken wings and
I'm not a huge chicken wing fan, but by god,
they had some good wings.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah. The flavors are great.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And if you're saying I can dip that in cheese
as well, I'm going back to Gammy there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I really enjoy just standard burger fries episodes. Yeah, just
I love burgers a lot, so just it's such a
classic meal and I love sharing where you can find
the best ones in Canbra Oh yeah yeah, and I
guess here there's so many options, like it's never just
you know, hamburger, cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
The places in Canbra you've got massive menus.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's extensive. Do you have a go to shop.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Or I love burger villains. I really enjoy and Oscar's
as well in Tagrono.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah yeah, cool.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
OSSI's doing really good sides.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So they have like the jalapeno poppers and like tato tots.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There was a time during COVID because my mum and
dad are Southside, so when I was back living with
mum and dad, boll i am again. But this was
years ago. Oskar's was one of the only places that
you could order from on like menu log and delivery
and stuff. It was like, you know, you'd have like
your your macasine stuff, but then if you wanted something better,
then you'd probably go to Oski's.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, they're good.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I haven't had them in years. Oh man, I've got
to go back now too.

Though.
Speaker 2 (07:38):

very good. Do you have any more episodes in the
future that you can kind of give us a sneak
peek at I'll be doing.

that's just yeah, it's going to be yeah, packed with food.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What else?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I missed out on blowfish, So the sushi.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, they're good, they do. And it was very interesting,
like my taste buds were confused. But then I walked
away going, yeah, I really liked it. I think it
was called it wasn't like a California one, but it
had like smoked salmon and cream cheese and capers in it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Oh that's interesting, And I was just like.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I need to try it. And when I first bit
into it, I was like, I don't know how I
feel about this, but I love it. I recommend it.
The fried chicken from the little Fried Chicken place in there. Yeah, yeah,
I can't remember what it's called, but it's great. But
you have perfectly segueed onto the next part that I
want to talk about is your trips to Japan. Now
(08:58):
I've got you to do some research into tell us
some of your favorite places to eat in Camber that
are Japanese. But before we do, are you excited to
go to Japan?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Where are you going? Tell us all about it.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So who was starting in a soaka and between a
soccer and Kyoto. We're going to Nara to see the
deer and biscuits. Then we're heading onto Yokohama and Tokyo
and we might do a couple of day trips from
each of those.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well you got it all planned down?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Are you the you're the itinerary girl.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's all on a spreadsheet and so I'm like, I'm
making it nice now, decorating it.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Color coordinated and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Every day is a different color. It's to the minute.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, have you I love that to the minute?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh man? Have you locked in food places that you're
going to? Are you just going to go over there
and feel the vibe.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
There's a few that are locked in, so we're going
to sort of two viral places. So we've got the
Mochi place in Nara. Oh yeah, and that's where you
can watch the demonstration how they make it.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So they go in with his massive sort of hammer
and their hands. So one person's like whacking it and
the other ones like.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I saw that on ticket. Yeah, I thought someone was
taking the mickey.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No, it's real.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
One to three pm. Nara. They do it there.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
That is so cool.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah, and we're going to Kichikichi omer Rice, which is
the omer Rice place, and the chef puts on this
big show.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It looks really fun.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So I'm surprised because we were talking off Mike about
a Pokemon I'm surprised you're not going to the Pokemon Cafe.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We have missed out on tickets.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
So it was two hours of suspense.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
They book out so quickly. Yeah, so we're.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Often just popping back onto the website to see if
tickets get released. Let people sort of give up their spots.
If they do, brilliant. If not, we're going to go
to the Pikachu Sweets Cafe.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Smart a good alternative exactly. Well, that sounds awesome. But
for those who aren't going to Japan anytime soon me,
I have gotten you to think about your favorite places
at Japanese restaurants here in Canberra. I've got a few
as well. Just so then, yeah, the listeners, they don't
feel like they're missing out, you know. So one that
(11:04):
I want to throw to you straight away, And I've
spoken about this place so many times on the podcast before,
but it's lazy. Sue and it's Baby Suit. Yeah, I
love them so much. It's the it's the bowgers, it's
the spring rolls, it's the everything they've got. It is
just fantastic. And with Baby Sue the waffle fries, Oh
what agreed?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Perfect? What place do you have to throw up?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Probably tacky, incredible. Tiger Lane.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, they do a cheeseburger argue dumpling, so you have
your cheeseburger spring rolls. Yeah, amazing. They do the dumpling
so good. It's it's a cheeseburgers. It's incredible. Yeah, one
of the best sides I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Wow, I'm not a huge cheeseburger spring roll fan, but
dumpling dumpling. It just sounds like a little compact burger.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yah. It literally is, Oh my incredible, Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
My gosh, you got anari also just next to very good, fantastic.
If you want your Urama though. Canteen near Capitol Brewing
in Fishwick, they do some fantastic ramen. Canteen used to
be Ramen Daddy that was in Verity Lane, but now
they've moved, but their ramen is just fantastic. I don't
(12:13):
know if they're still doing their fries though, but they
did some fries with like this really cool like Japanese
season on the top.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I was there last week. That's on the menu.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, yeah, thank goodness. What ramen did you pick?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I went for the classic, so the pot Yeah, and
we also got the mozzarella katsu sando and I don't
know if you've tried it before, but it's one of
those sandwiches and there's so much cheese in it. You
literally just spread it apart and it just cheese everywhere.
It just stretches out like a meter more brilliant. That
might be my next meals and reels. Actually I filmed
last week.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, the canteen.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, yeah, Canteen. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I don't feel like we need to go on with
the list now. I feel like we found the best places. No,
what else have you got?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
A keeper?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Highly recommend they do the sixty five dollars me menu,
so you just go in and they give you their favorites.
It's amazing if you just want a selection. Yeah, my
favorites from there would be probably the Boo bun. Also
the eggplant.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I think that's a very underrated dish. It's incredible. The
flavors are amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I know that Akiba do a snack menu as well,
which is like one to three, and they have a
few bow buns, a few sides and everything on it.
Bow buns are fantastic. But the egg plant is on
that little snacks menu, and I won't lie. I always
overlook it because there's kalamari on there, and I go,
I want the kalamari. But you're saying the egg plants
the way.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, it's so surprising, it's great.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, Okay. If you're liking the sound of all of
these and you're thinking, man, I'd just prefer to go
to a place where I can just eat all the
sushi in the world, well then I've got the persfect face.
It's called Akami. It is in Morson, but it's also
in Braddon as well. It is basically all you can
eat Japanese. It is fantastic. My only tip though, is
if you do go and the waiters and waitresses keep
coming over just saying would you like to order more,
(13:56):
finish your food first and then figure out afterwards if
you're still hungry because I just kept ordering, going yeah,
I really like that, I'll get more and more.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, you can just end up with an entire table
and then.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You're like, well, I got to finish it now. I've
ordered a god But that's probably my out there. It's
on You've got your meals on reels. I've got this
thing called mixed bucket list. Yeah, okay, and I Akami
has been on my bucket list. I've ticked it off,
but I haven't spoken about it on the podcast before,
I don't think so. Maybe that's when I've got to go.
I got to go to while you're over in Japan,
I'll go tech check a Kami out.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's lots of fun too. It's a really cool place.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It is really cool. What else have you got?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
So? I guess for standard. I love sushi probably one
of my favoriteits. I've got sushi Hub Intugrono. So I
go to, yeah, so south Point quite often, just it's
so close to home. They do tamaga yuki, which is
one of my favorite sort of snacks, which is like
the egg, like a sweet egg, little chunky explain it.
They also do these little like rice sandwiches and it's
(14:52):
basically like between two layers of rice, salmon, avocado egg.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
They're really good, really yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And then Sushi Musa for train.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
If we go, we venture out past Hugrinong, Yeah, and
they do really good.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Run into actually you.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Venture into the depths of Logan the way. I've walked
past Sushi Hub many times before. And I'm not saying
because I normally go down stairs to the sushi place
in South Point? Oh, is that what's that one?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I Thinkshi Sushi.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I think it might be Sushi Suhi. I always go.
I always go there. That's my go to one. And
I don't know what it is, but just they've got
like a lot of black rice roll selection.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, they do. They're really good.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
But maybe I'll need to sorry Sushi. That's so hard
to say. Maybe I have to say goodbye to them
for a bit and check out Sushi Hub. It's really
good quick fix. I don't get one of those sandwiches
that sounds. Yeah, they're really good my last one because
I was going to say a kbra as well, But
I mean we've covered that extensively. It's one that I
haven't tried, but we speak about it on the radio
(15:49):
show that I've been I'm a part of Camera Wrapped
Tokyo Canteen in Kingston. Have you been before.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It looks it's such a cute little shop. It's open
for lunch and her as well, and it just looks
really sweet. I don't know how else to describe it,
but it just looks really nice and cute. The menu
looks fantastic as well, and it's in that little Kingston
precinct where if you can't get a seat inside, there's
like little picnic tables out the Oh yeah, like you
(16:16):
have a superbarn.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh how cool.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So it could be like a little perfect a place
to have a date night. Yeah, So that was That
was just one I just wanted to throw out there.
You if any of the listeners have been to Tokyo
Canteen and have a review, let me know because I
would love to have a review beforehand. But Jessica, thank

you so much for coming in and having a chat
to me today about how you got into it and
also your Japanese adventures. I see you've got some Japanese
snacks there as well. Yes, what have you got in
your baggot?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I brought it my childhood snack, which is pocky oh yeah,
and I also brought sort of the more commercially available
watch you, which is really hard to find at this
time in the morning. Little Moons, I love them so much.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Oh you shouldn't have opened this door, but you've opened
it now, have you tried? I me and my girlfriend
we got a bunch of the Little Moons a couple
of days ago and we finished them all. Have you
tried the Golden Chocolate Blend one?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
No? I haven't. I really want to.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do you like Karra milk?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I do love it?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
This will absolutely rock your word. It is so good.
We also got a passion through one.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's what I brought.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Oh, they're so good.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
They're so good, and it says to wait a few minutes,
but I just you just can't know.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You can't eat. You just go straight in. Yeah, it's
going to be harder to buy, but you just buger it.
You gone through. You know the Golden I think it's
the Golden Chocolate blender, so I can't remember. It's the
nice gold one. It looks like Karraen milk. It tastes
like it. It is fantastic. So, oh damn it. Why
Why have you told me? Why am I now thinking
(17:57):
about this? We're recording this at to tend in the
morning and now I'm thinking about Moji man. Off to
the shops, Off to the shops, Jess, Well, thank you
so much for coming in.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, good, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Check out Jess's instagram as well. It is Jessica Kashelle
on Instagram. I'll say how to spell it as well,
so then people can find it. It is Jessica how
it's spelled, and then it's Kisi e l. Her Instagram
is very cool and you need to keep up to
date with her, of course, because she's going to have
a Japan and she can have heaps of meals on
reels and you can live vi carelessly through her. So
check her out now. Jess, we hopped off Mike and
(18:35):
we'd finished the episode, but then we kept talking and
you just told me that you're going to do some
food challenges while you're over in Japan with your boyfriend. Yes,
And I was just like, I'd need to keep talking
about this because it is hilarious. So what are the
two food challenges that you're going to do?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So we're starting with twenty four hours of only eating
from seven eleven right. Apparently the meals there are just
iconic and delicious, so we're going to give that a go.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Really.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, we have a whole list of snacks just to
try from seven to eleven a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm glad that you've said that, because when you first
said that you're going to do twenty four hours just
eating at seven eleven, I was gonna go, you could
do that here, Yeah, and it wouldn't be fantastic. I
feel like the seven eleven's here in Canber at least
are a lot to be desired.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I agree, But if you're saying that they're fantastic in Japan,
I support I support you. What's the other food challenge?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So twenty four hours only eating from vending machines right now?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That is a cool challenge because Japan has so many
vending machines.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, do you not food, cold food, apparently everything?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Do you kind of have a since you are the
itinerary girl and you're a planner, do you have an
idea or a rough idea of what sort of vending
machines you'll be aiming for?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Not at all.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
So we're gonna do it in Tokyo because that's where
apparently the hub of a vending machines. Okay, my partner
is huge on his coffee, so he needs multiple a day,
So right off the bat, we're going to be finding
the coffee on. Yes, definitely sort of more breakfast foods
for the morning. We really want to experience what you know,
like a care to breakfast is.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You make it sound so good.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
And then definitely ram and I've seen some ram and
vending machines and they come warm.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Do they warm up after they prepackaged? Could they be
in one of those like special bowls that you just
got to like snap something.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
That's what I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, that's really cool. Are there any other sort of
vending machines a year? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
After lots of the dessert ones, yep, yeah there mochi
ones I'd love to find.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Out be a game changer.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Well now I kind of want to try this. Maybe
maybe I will do because I can't really do the
vending machine one because let's be really doing it here
in Canberra, I would just be drinking, yeah, basically, but
maybe I could try the seven to eleven one and
we can compare our notes how we went.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Okay, well watch this space then I'm sure Jess will
nail that out of the park and I'll just be
chewing on some boring old pies.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Well that's it.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You filled up on all the food content. You could
still a little package, check out other episodes.
