Mizuya, Sydney
1 November 2010, 01:24
Yarr me hearties! No it’s not talk like a pirate day but a sexy pirate greeted us at the entrance of Mizuya (Basement level, 614 George Street, Sydney) and it was only till we got a lil closer that we saw she had blood flowing from her eyes… We were here to partake in Mizuya’s selection of snack sized treats, a mini dinner before a dessert degustation later on (post to come later).
Yes the Halloween craze had hit and along with pirates serving us that night there were also zombies, masked men, cat ears and witches galore.
Billy manages to order the pinkest, girliest drink off the menu heh happy (belated) birthday dude!
Like Wagaya, Mizuya booths have touch screens installed and food comes out crazy fast
I decided to hold off on the deep fried cheese, having already consumed my daily allotment of dairy for the day (curse you lactose hating intestines!) but there’s nothing stopping me from ordering the Crispy Salmon Skin ($4.80) which arrives curiously curled and disappears within seconds as we munch on the salty goodness that is deep fried omega 3.
The Spider Roll ($13.80) is an impressive sight, perfectly cut segments of sushi with fried soft shell crab legs sticking out askew.
The Cheese Potato Mochi ($5.80) was less memorable, tasting more of a potato pattie with slighty cheesey innards.
I haven’t done a knife shot in a while so this one is for you Rush!
The Eggplant with Sweet Miso ($7.80) aka mega miso marvoulessness has Helen in raptures- “it’s so smooth! It’s perfect! My precioussss…”
A plate of Crispy Chicken Skin ($3.80) was ordered as soon as the salmon skin had disappeared and after hoeing into the plate and making a good dent I start feeling queasy and had the urge to eat greenery oh yes I was defeated by the chicken skin! These innocent looking shavings of deep fried cholesterol laden nubbins saw the downfall of chocolatesuze!
Wagyu Beef and Garlic Fried Rice ($12.80) is a welcome stomach liner from the chicken skin but alas the wagyu beef is not all it’s cracked up to be. Sure they were juicy morsels of tender meat but really it was not the best dish for wagyu to be the star in.
The Simmered Beef Cheek ($11.80), however was freaking awesome. Why hello incredibly marbled, gelatinous, soft, tender meat! Next time I’m totes ordering this and not sharing with anyone.
The restaurant was decked out in pumpkins, sheeted ghosts and cobwebs and we roll ourselves down the street onto our dessert destination…
Back to home
That sounds like an ace way to spend Halloween (and the eggplant sounds crazy-good). I hope you had time for some karaoke and suitably “scary” songs!
— Lee Tran Nov 1, 01:59 AM #Next time I’d ordering a whole eggplant dish just for myself. lol. And oh my, it was quite a sight to see you reaching eagerly for lettuce. Defeated by chicken crackling. Who would’ve thought!
— Helen (grabyourfork) Nov 1, 02:51 AM #crispy chicken skin and the eggplant…slurps!
— Melissa Nov 1, 09:17 AM #Eggplant miso has got to be one of my fave things ever! Mmmm… yum! Can’t wait to see the desserts degustation!
— Betty @ The Hungry Girl Nov 1, 09:47 AM #I die for deep fried salmon skin – but it usually makes me feel like eating something green afterwards too. Miso Eggplant – drool.
— MelbaToast Nov 1, 11:34 AM #heeeeee costumes! I love Mizuya for snacking and karaoke, and they do some pretty good value lunch sets too. shall have to drop by to try that delicious looking miso eggplant :D
— Chris Nov 1, 11:41 AM #Oh that’s so cute!

— laura (Starloz) Nov 1, 12:11 PM #Defeated by chicken skin? Bah, what is this world coming to?? =p
— mademoiselle delicieuse Nov 1, 12:13 PM #Nice! Every time we come here we end up leaving very drunk and never get to enjoy the food :P
— Howard Nov 1, 12:46 PM #Oh knife shots, how I’ve missed you! How did you get owned by chicken skin? Blasphemous!
— Margaret | fangirlish Nov 1, 01:29 PM #You were defeated by chicken skin, OMG. Love the Halloween feel and look.
— sara @ Belly Rumbles Nov 1, 01:57 PM #Fried chicken skin…?! I think my arteries are paralysed by the thought…!
— Tina@foodboozeshoes Nov 1, 03:24 PM #Miso eggplant. I cannot be contained around that. Ever. I remember wasavie in Paddington doing a pretty fabulous version from a couple of years ago- wonder where the best one is these days? Looks like a fab night :)
— Tori @ Eat-Tori Nov 1, 08:33 PM #I want that salmon skin and the chicken skin… sounds deadly but really good.
— Trissa Nov 1, 09:38 PM #how did I miss that beef cheek when I went last time? it looks awesome! and oh no defeated by the chicken skin… but I think if I tried to eat the whole plate I would be defeated too
— Jacq Nov 2, 01:46 AM #I walk past this place almost every day to work. I have never thought of entering tho. Good for a Friday lunch perhaps?
— Matthew (Masterchef) Nov 2, 09:56 AM #Hahaha how fun!! love halloween.. everyone gets so silly! ps. loving your crazy nail polish & u lookin fine girl!
— thedaintybaker@gmail.com Nov 2, 10:57 AM #cute pirate!
— Fiona Nov 2, 08:10 PM #Hahah suits Billy so well! and are you ok? got a fever or something? How can you say no to cheeseee?!?!? :P
— FFichiban Nov 2, 09:00 PM #oh my- that eggplant does look like the perfect texture. yum. Even though I didn’t partake this year, I think i’m liking the whole Halloween trend.
— Gastronomy Gal Nov 2, 10:55 PM #The eggplant looks amazing! I’ll have to go there around Halloween next time!
