Everyone keeps telling me how expensive food in Sydney is. One of my favourite restaurants, Sakae, is definitely an exception. Sakae is an authentic Japanese, very tasty and very affordable.
When you walk into the restaurant you are immediately greeted with the usual Japanese hospitality. The restaurant is open kitchen and the chefs seem [...]

More Volcanic Adventure - Ijen Crater, East Java - Indonesia
