polipo - Superb Italian restaurant for pizza and pasta in Hiroshima!

To start off the opening of this review, polipo highly exceeded our expectations and we love it so much that we are missing the food dearly now. Before the trip I have researched the food places we wanted to try, and I do know polipo is one of the best and authentic Neapolitan restaurant in Hiroshima. Chef is Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN) certified also, that should tells you a bit about his pizza baseline before even dining there. (Of course the restaurant uses a wood-fired oven)

Eggslut - Popular LA egg sandwich restaurant first outlet in Singapore!

A very popular restaurant chain from LA known for their burgers and sides with eggs (obviously)! We didn’t join in opening hype when they launched in September, cause we are lazy (and I blame COVID-19 for it).
