One of the good things of being a Singaporean foodie is not being afraid to strike up conversations with fellow foodies from other countries. We met a friendly Japanese working in New Zealand who shared with us the good Japanese restaurants in Queenstown.

We found our way to Minami Jujisei Japanese Restaurant, an award-winning and the oldest Japanese restaurant in New Zealand! 😲 And their lunch deal for donburis are only NZD$12 (no need to tip, no GST, no service charge). 😲😲

We got ourselves Chirashi Don and Salmon Sashimi Don. Glad that the sashimi cuts were thick enough amd fresh but we were super taken aback by the XL portion of Japanese sushi rice. 😲😲😲 Minami pressed the rice down to every corner of that big donburi bowl. As famished as we could be, we just couldn't finish the rice. Thanks to Minami, we were walked out carrying our big bellies.
