Wagamama
Nov 12th
I used to eat at Wagamama all the time and loved it. But after being diagnosed with coeliac disease I visited Wagamama in Sydney and found out that I could only eat one item on the menu and it was far from the best dish I had had there. So I didn’t go back for many years.

May 10th

Feb 7th

Then I started traveling and since I wasn’t staying in one place for more than four nights there wasn’t much point stocking up on supermarket items.
While in the US I came across two chains of supermarkets which are awesome for those that have dietary requirements including vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free. Those supermarkets are Trader Joe’s and Wholefoods.
