r45 4 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 A good one for sure. Had one here last year and it was as bad as you could imagine one to be. Looked for a gyoza-man in 7-11, but the don't seem to be doing them around here. Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I am one lucky devil - just 15 minutes down the road from me in Oz, Takahashi-San and his girlfriend have a food stall at Caloundra markets every Sunday. I can get my regular fix of authentic Gyoza and prawn okonimyaki. Link to post Share on other sites
