Snack at Norita
A cold and windy Sunday afternoon. We finished shopping around Pitt Street Mall and met up with some other friends. After wandering around for a while, we remembered the strange Norita sign that we always saw on Liverpool Street in the city, but never got around to visiting it. 'Norita - Cafe and board games' it pronounced. I think it's the only one of it's kind in Sydney (as far as I know) and we decided to check it out.
Inside, the decor is kinda dark but cosy with tables and booths. We sat at a booth and received our menu and list of board games. Since we only had approximately 1 hour we, decided to choose an easy game that we all knew how to play and didn't have complicated rules. This is Jenga, haha. The price of the board games vary between the games and depends on how long you want the game for and ranges from around $1-5 per person for 1 hour.
We also ordered some snacks and drinks. Firstly, a Green tea shake which was like the normal ones you can get at japanese restaurants except that it had hundreds and thousands on top of the whipped cream.

Green Tea Shake (~$6)Next was the Takoyaki balls with the usual bonito flakes. This was ok, but my guess that it is frozen or prepared as it didn't taste that fresh.
Takoyaki (~$7.50)Lastly, we ordered the chocolate fondue which had a pot of warm, delicious choclate sitting above a candle (which surpisingly kept the chocolate pretty warm the whole time). Around the chocolate were marshmallows, wafer biscuits, strawberries and banana slices. All of which were devoured quickly after a quick dip in the chocolate. What would have taken this dish to the next level would be the addition of some icecream scoops I think.
Chocolate fondue -shared between 4 (~$15)Overall, I would definitely recommend this place as a cool place to hang out, enjoy your company and some cool board games. Food is ok, but is nothing to look forward to.
