Iori @ Civic, Canberra

-
Recently, my sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite Japanese restaurants in Canberra. I was prepared to order their Sushi Zen set when I noticed one of the 2 daily specials, which they served only 5 sets a day. It appeared to have much more food and at cheaper price too. I was keen on all of them except for the chicken teriyaki which I was indifferent too. In the end, I ordered it

It was very filling and considered a good bargain in Canberra at only AUD16 (original price AUD26). The sashimi and sushi were quite good, though the sashimi pieces were half of the size I was used to in Malaysia and Singapore (then again, this sashimi was part of a set). Teriyaki chicken was quite unusual as it was a little saltier than what I was used to. The vegetable tempura was light and delicious but the prawn tempura was a disappointment as the prawn was quite scrawny and I could taste thick flour. Meh.

My biggest mistake (and complaint) was asking for more wasabi. Guess how much they charged for a small amount of wasabi (about one fifth of the size of the sushi)? AUD2. Goodness, did they plant the root, harvest and scrape the wasabi to justify such price? It should be much lesser than AUD2 or maybe none at all. The funny thing was that they had a book for guests to sign and comment but provided a pen that ran out of ink.

Would I go back there again? Yes, I will but I really should remember not to ask for more wasabi. You know what's ironic? My sister claimed that I experienced the same thing and reacted the same way previously. Lol. Goodness.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
