40 YR Old Japanese Bakery in SYDNEY & Cleaning Motivation to Organise Kitchen Pantry! Vlogmas 2022

[@JaniceFung]

welcome to day 3! I know you guys gave me some suggestions on how to organise my pantry before - like using trays etc. but if you have any other thoughts on how to utilise all the space, let me know! oh and as always, any location recs, just drop them below!

[@jojosanrio3966]

You definitely need stand from Kmart for the back that have like three levels then it will still save space to fit all your stuff but it makes it high will send you a pick through Insta my girl ❤

[@Min-os1vv]

baskets with holes or two mini see through baskets with handle in each shelf.😁

[@Sunflwrbtch]

Finalllyyyyyy.. I've been waiting for this one. And a what's in my fridge would be good and apartment tour 😃 thanks Janice ☺️

[@helenmak5542]

Hi 👋 Janice: I love the curry bun…. looks like a very authentic and traditional Japanese bun…. looks sooo yummy….thank you for sharing your organizational and decluttering techniques… I always love to watch your videos. Please keep posting !

[@Judyyesulcho]

I always find those organisation videos so satisfying, I like lazy susans to help prevent kitchen items from getting lost in the back. And your cabinet looks so nice tho!

[@jjohn1388]

Janice will uncover which city is she going to today

[@JaniceFung]

Vlog getting posted sooooon!

[@snoopymelb6676]

Another yummy shop 😊 cleaning and tidying up kitchen are always a big job.

[@MrDerekGmap]

About your pantry, one idea is to put a piece of paper or post-it note on the inside panel of your cupboard door with the corresponding height of each shelf, then write on it what you have in that shelf of the cupboard. E.g. at your tea shelf, stick a post-it note saying 2xT2 tea bags, 1 can Japanese tea… and you either cross out or replace the post-it as you use or replenish ur cupboard.

[@michaelj2528]

The bakery look amazing, organising the pantry is always difficult and finding the time or not finding the time looks like you've done a great job. Always interesting and entertaining

[@nuyoo6504]

It's so weird to see it so sunny in your vlogs hahaha, it's getting dark so fast on my side and you have that distinct winter holiday season that I think you were talking about in your last video. Also, you need some sort of rolling pull out situation for your pantry to keep it from getting messy again.

[@JaniceFung]

I know what you mean re the rolling pull out tray thing, I just can’t find any long enough for mine :(

[@mystery53271]

I love using turntables/lazy susans to hold cans and sauce bottles, makes things easier to find and grab when cooking :) kmart sells them, they have two tier ones too!

[@JaniceFung]

oh niceee! I'll go find those in Kmart!

[@humdingaling]

IKEA - VARIERA Shelf insert. Really opens up the cupboard especially in your kind of configuration

[@JaniceFung]

Thank you!

[@tracycreaser4462]

Food looks yummy🥰 your dinner looked yum as well .Great job of your pantry .Take care x

[@JaniceFung]

thanks so much Tracy!

[@SayingHiiya]

I've known the baker for decades, and as Vincent below mentioned, I'd recommend you go buy the strawberry fresh cream cake, green tea roll cake, choux cream, and the mochi / manju. Also the buns are good as well. Their fresh cream is similar to the cakes in Tokyo.

[@vincentlam7496]

The Japanese bakery buns remind me of Hong Kong's A1 Bakery!

[@Piranabait]

Really loving see your content more frequently. Hopefully I won’t have withdrawals once this project is over! 😅

[@irena-talita]

Hey Janice that little bakery looked good and that curry bun looked so yum ..For your pantry you could put a 2 or 3 tier type rack in your pantry to create levels If that makes sense & I love when you cook ..Great vlog ..x💕🥰❤️

[@Gin_Shinigami]

I really like the melon bread and twist donuts are delicious too. But my favorite was the matcha scroll cake & strawberry cream cake 😁🤭 The yakisoba-pan tastes good, maybe a little sweeter but not to bad. I recommend to try the morning fresh cheese roll.

[@JaniceFung]

Ooooh have you been to Fiji bakery too???

[@Gin_Shinigami]

@@JaniceFung Few times, for me it's the best Japanese bakery in Sydney

[@kyliejeffery8008]

Janice i thought of another good place on the lower north shore, its called Piato and their saganaki cheese with honey warms my soul! Its in milsons point i believe!

[@jojosanrio3966]

Loving your Xmas flogs ❤

[@JaniceFung]

thanks Jojo!

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

When I found your channel you were doing videos in H.K. so I often think you are still there. When I saw the bright sunny sky I realized you are in Sydney. Bakery looked good and the curry bun the best. How does it compare to H.K. curry buns? Good vlog enjoyed it. Thanks. Can you show us more of an Australian Christmas? Vegemite?

[@pek5117]

The 'Chicken Nugget Roll' made me giggle, I was expecting a katsu. Frankfurter bun wouldn't be bad, I randomly crave hotdogs. The lookout was a nice spot for lunch.

[@exit2exist676]

Love ur organizational skills. love ur content , as always! Thanks Janice, have a wonderful holiday period

[@JaniceFung]

thank you! you too :D

[@Benjamin-ib4to]

Looking good, thanks for sharing this with us 😊

[@catherinechan6556]

You can get some shelves from ikea (white ones and different sizes) so you can layer it and see what it’s at the back of the cupboard since it’s deep

[@JaniceFung]

thanks for the suggestion Catherine!

[@muneebachhipa4080]

What a therapyyyy...much needed motivation as I am moving to US by the end of this month😅

[@JaniceFung]

haha good luck with the move!

[@juliet6827]

you should check out Tuga Pastries in one of your next videos. Theres a place in Clovelly and Alexandria. Could not recommend more!!!

[@johndev2212]

The curry bun looks amazing! I would be in that bakery every day. 🙂

[@JaniceFung]

I know right! so many choices

[@Jay-su5yo]

Have you ever asked hospitality staff at these venues visited where they got their training from? Is it learning through reinforcement? It is the world of the alternative universe.

[@Old.School.Ronin.01]

Fuji Japanese bakery reminds me of the once in a while treats i got as a young child in the 90's. If it weren't for the for the poor accessibility via public transport, i would have been visiting quite often as an adult... 🤤😩😣😓

[@kateeekate9966]

Wow, that's a simple dinner? For me simple is either something frozen whacked in the oven or a packet of mi goreng 🤣 Great video! If you are still after ideas of things to, there is Lewers Cafe and Regional Gallery in Emu Plains next to the Nepean River. Lovely food and then you can check out the current exhibitions 🙂

[@michaelfung4629]

Yes, the only place you can get fresh mochi. You have order in advance sometimes. Since you’re in that part of the city. Try Goodfields Cafe in Lindfield. Pretty good for a non Asian place.

[@raffdeleon]

Been wanting to try Fuji for so long! Tried to go 2 months ago on a Sunday but they are apparently closed on Sundays:(

[@ximsity2]

The main highlight item in the bakery is actually the strawberry short cake and matcha roll, and I love the egg and mayo roll. It's very Japanese authentic. If you have time to go back there definitely go early and grab the strawberry short cake.

[@fookriver]

organise large things at the rear with smaller things to the front, instantly eyeball your stock. Catergorise sauces, baking etc.

[@jimmychandra8676]

Hello.. hello..hello.. 😝 Its looks delicious!

[@danielmacdonald4499]

May I ask was the curry bun from the bakery better than bread top

[@ximsity2]

Yes definitely

[@longttang]

Hi Janice 👋🏻

[@freyagrayden5665]

Check out Kmart for great kitchen organisation products. Simple shelf risers would enable you to see your stuff at the back of your shelves

[@selinajuse1852]

I am the same way. My eyes are definitely bigger then my stomach. I want to get everything. 😂

[@jasperkelly181]

[@jasperkelly181]

@@JaniceFung it was too difficult to choose just three restaurants, so I had to suggest five. hopefully one day you’ll get to go all my suggestions

[@leonfong4456]

I would get the curry パンas well

[@Innie765]

Janice, your pantry need a few lazy Susan. I think they would help alot, kmart I pretty afford for them.

[@JaniceFung]

I thought about that.. but then my pantry is quite steep... so like, two lazy Susans one behind each other?

[@Innie765]

@@JaniceFung I would say, one behind each other or one infront of the tubs you have your noodles and stuff in at the back.

[@leonfong4456]

Are u afraid of carbs?😅

[@leonfong4456]

Bread can be very fat and easy to get hunger

Pronounce it : ”woostershire”

[@harrychutney4618]

Wuster sauce

[@JaniceFung]

Is that how I’m meant to say it?

[@harrychutney4618]

Janice, it seems like you are forever trying to organize yourself

I think that’s a pretty good summary
