Dinner at Iwa - Chatswood
The food gang and I were out again last night at a new Japanese Yakiniku/traditional place in Chatswood called Iwa. It's where the old Harvey Norman express used to be; opposite Krispy Kremes and next to Gelatissimo.
I'll keep this short...as like the dinner.
Food: Pretty good, except the portion size were tiny! Think $18.00 for 12 pieces of beef!!! Sashimi tataki was nice (except Cyb grilled hers lol!) I wouldn't recommend the risotto. Stick to the beef.
Environment: Everyone agreed that it was very nicely decorated with a ship theme. Very slick with individual cubicles fitting up to 8.
Price: OVERPRICED! As the others pointed out, the amount of food we got was inversely proportional to decor :P $25 each in end and we still weren't half way satisfied and had to go to Maisy's afterwards.
Overall: 6/10
The night began with the usual examination of Pat's new camera.
Cybele expertly cooks the beef tongue...
And the resulting paper destruction/craft...

And the resulting paper destruction/craft...New comp! and cursed Vista!
I build a new computer. A kickass computer. Then I had the stupidity to install Vista on it...
For the nerdy ones, the specs are -
- Core 2 Duo 2.4
- 2gb RAM
- Leadtek 8800GTX
- 1TG worth of HDDs
all in the Antec 900 case.
I must say the 8800GTX is one big card (I have a photo of it being larger than Cybele's face), and its one scary card! It's run everything I've thrown at it at maximum everything *drools*.
However...I had to install Vista...
Let me just say...that as fancy and hyped up its aero interface is, its not worth the pain of finding most of your applications (which check if you're in XP) don't work, and most hardware including my motherboard sound dual inputs (curiously Vista certified) without drivers. Lucky I still have my laptop around or my phone and mail wouldn't sync either!
So take it from me, until its more mature and companies start writing drivers for it - don't get it for the love for your sanity!
