Who decides what to order? The awkwardness over who pays what at the end! It can be too much. Who knew I could have a good time in a karaoke bar?! Thanks Goros, for changing my mind.įor the real celebrations, we made our way up to Toko restaurant on Crown Street, and settled in for a banquet.ĭining with a large group can be a nightmare. The staff had to come in twice to remind us our session was over – of course it would be when we were all singing the Spice Girls.

A bit morbid, maybe, but just another reason not to do karaoke. I’m convinced that we’re one spark away from dying of smoke inhalation while we try and find the exit. Often underground, karaoke bars are a warren of small rooms filled with dodge electrical equipment and flickering lights. Not only from the singing, but the rooms feel like death traps. The few times she has dragged me to a karaoke bar, I sense impending doom. She’s a true Japanophile and we flipped the usual order to do karaoke early and then enjoy a banquet at Toko restaurant in Surry Hills. That’s why on this day, it was true proof of friendship that I willingly went to karaoke (at 5pm – completely sober!) to celebrate my friend Sharon’s birthday. I’m great at lip-synching, but you can’t drag me to karaoke.

I can’t carry a tune and don’t even sing in the shower or car. We’re also swapping roles at home too, with me stepping into the kitchen to try a new recipe that I think you’ll love too.
