Say konichiwa to something salty, warm and comforting to Suupa’s Thursday and Friday evening specials. That’s right, it's ramen. Slurp down a warming miso ramen packed with wagyu beef short rib, chargrilled wombok, egg, garlic and fermented chilli. A treat, arriving just in time with winter knocking on our doors again.
If you haven’t had the joy of visiting Suupa’s cosy corner spot in Cremorne, it takes form as a casual Japanese eatery, with a dash of convenience store vibes. Get a little more bang for your buck and pair your noodle broth with a 400ml Orion beer on tap, for just $38 a pop.

We’re hearing it’s back on the menu to coincide with the cooler months, but you know the drill. Their ramen is a rich chicken bone broth poured over tender noodles with prawn and chicken dumplings, grilled chicken and a perfectly soy-marinated egg. Dig in Monday to Friday at lunchtime for the (wallet-friendly) price of just $24.

Piccolina has outdone itself with its 2025 Easter collection, and the star of the show is the Golden Gaytime Egg—a decadent reimagining of the Aussie classic. Picture honeycomb gelato layered with chocolate malt crumble, a gooey caramel ganache centre, all coated in caramelised white chocolate and finished with a dark chocolate drizzle. It’s nostalgia, but next-level.
Also in the lineup? A Milo Egg (with crunchy Milo rocks and ganache) and a Rocky Road Egg (packed with raspberry jellies and toasted peanuts). Handcrafted and limited-edition, these eggs are available for pre-order from March 19—so move fast or miss out!
Pre-order online or grab one at Piccolina’s stores. P.S. They're opening a second city store opposite the QV at 274 Swanston Street with free scoops on Friday.
