Big respect for the obsession to get a single dish right. However, regarding Australian food culture where might that obsession be focussed?!?

This 96-year-old Tokyo chef has spent his entire life perfecting just one dish
In Japan, it's called "shokunin", and it might be the reason why Tokyo is now the world's culinary capital.

Australian media has a China problem. Worth a read ⤵️
An Australian national is locked up in a Beijing jail for five years. Led by Sky News, the media maintains his innocence, based on nothing more than his word… and the “fact” that innocents are locked up because the Chinese police are jealous. #auspol #media

Hi, it’s my regular update on how the Australian National Broadcaster #ABCNews has not got a single story from our region on the app. American plane crashes, stupidity on Trump nominees and sport (not news) are all there. Again, why?!?

Really sad news to hear of the passing of Aussie Chinese artist Laurens Tan. Apart of his creative spirit, we were drawn to his gregarious nature. A man of the world from The Hague, to Wollongong, to Beijing to Vegas riding on spirits from Fujian. Great bloke!

Exactly ⤵️ The Australian National Broadcaster #ABCNews does not provide ongoing coverage of our region like Vietnam, Thailand or Indonesia. Yet every burp or fart from a cretin from the US or UK gets top billing. Why?!?
The ABC should be the voice of reason in Australia's society, and that reason should loudly proclaim that Australia is in the middle of Asia and it is in its self interest to act in accordance with that geographical fact. #auspol
