Buy Cheap Yums : Linkdump

[cdave]

A couple of useful sites I've had difficulty re-finding recently.

Price comparison site with graphs tracking how much your item cost recently. Won the channel 5 Gadget Show challenge at the end of last year for consumer electronics.

For weird tat don't forget Froogle. I found a pair of welding Goggles for a fiver there.

Restaurant Vouchers. Fairly London chain centric, but with several 50% off deals it's worth checking before heading out.

P.S. Don't tell anyone about the fantastic Japanese omelet place that monkeyssk8 told me about, where they cook the stuff in front of you. It's too fun to get any busier.

It's bad enough that I told plentyofants, piesandmash, Fuzz, Jez and Si about it at Christmas.

Ah, yum, okonomiyaki!

And it's the Osakan style (Kansai-style) ... when I was in Japan (thanks to all who helped pay for that!) I had Osakan style in Osaka, and Hiroshiman-style in Hiroshima ... both are wonderful! The one in Osaka was in a big upmarket restaurant in the middle of the main pedestrian precinct, just along from where they filmed bits of Black Rain (the nightclub, it's a Sapporo beer club) ... but in Hiroshima it was a tiny family-run cafe up a flight of stairs in an apartment block on a back street ... and it was *wonderful* :-)

Yum, I love okonomiyaki! Back when I lived over that way I kept meaning to go there but never did. Oh well it's not like I live far away now.

Have you ever been to the Mongolian Barbecue? They cook stir fry in front of you, but you create the stir fry yourself first. I've not been in years, but it was fun and not too pricey.

Damn. Now I find you a link I discover the London branch is shut. And the branch I passed by car but never visited doesn't seem to exist any more.

Meanwhile I want to go here sometime:

Do you eat norscan?

Never actually eaten there. I went with some friends, and was told they couldn't seat 8 without a booking, as it was too busy. It was shut the next time I looked.

It's been closed for refurbishment for more than a year. I don't think it's going to re-open.

I'd like to try the dark place too. Sounds fun.
