Brunch on Glenayre Avenue.

Luke went for bacon and maple syrup on french toast.

And more toast (with Vegemite no less!).

I went for the fritters.

At The Civic in Sydney CBD.

Look for the intense wall painting by Artist James Patrick to lead you upstairs.

On entry, a feast for the eyes and the nose.

Outdoor kitchen.

To the bar with some fresh and sweet cocktails.

Chicken Satay, awesome as expected!

We’re a fan of any DJ who spins some RÜFÜS tracks.

From the grill, Ox-Tongue and that awesome Laos Sausage.

Tuk-Tuk!

Yes! Beef Jerky!

My beer of choice!

I was introduced to Asahi Black. Crispy going down like a normal Asahi, but a slightly malty aftertaste, and much darker in colour too. I like!

Crunchy texture of this dish was fantastic.

Warm sweet puffs for dessert.

And ice-cream!

Here’s cheers!

Showbags on exit were a really nice touch!

Last night we dined at ​Green Peppercorn situated above the Civic Hotel, corner of Pitt and Goulburn Streets. A restaurant which takes it’s inspiration from the streets and markets of Laos and Thailand. We chilled in the outdoor garden, where you’re outside inside. It’s a beer garden that teleports you to the streets of Thailand! A chill place to be with good tunes, a tuk-tuk, a bar and outdoor kitchen. Highly recommend!

Parking at the Helipad/shooting range. Was another beautiful day (thanks Sydney!) so we thought we’d go for adventure time and check out Cape Banks, Botany Bay.

Cape Banks Aquatic Reserve, if you look closely, you’ll spot the shipwreck of SS Minmi on the far right which hit the rocks and split in 2 in 1937.

The guys checking out the wreck.

Despite the huge in-coming waves, brave no fear Krysti decided to jump on board!

Everyone was getting hangry after adventure time, the call was made to hunt down Korean BBQ. David suggested Goldmart, one of his fave places in Chatswood where you can eat and smoke outside.

Watch your step! Hot coals! I felt like I was eating on the streets of Asia. So awesome that places like this still exist in Sydney.

Goldmart is actually a Korean grocery store, inside the grocery store is the butcher where you purchase your fresh meats and you pay for your beers and rice inside the store too (super cheap at around $25/head all up including beers). Then you sit outside on plastic chairs (was funny watching the locals get wasted and fall off them at the end of the night!).

There’s a good selection of un-marinated meat too. Wagyu is always a go!

Cass, crispy goodness!

The beef. So good.

Wagyu was so good it didn’t even need sauce.

Tucked away just behind Capital Square in Chinatown.

The Deluxe Sushi Platter. Delicious!

Both sea eel and freshwater eel, scampi, urchin, salmon and tuna.

Deep Fried Oysters were yum.

Wagyu and Katsu Skewers.

Previously Musashi, and now renovated and under new management, Nanami wanted to take me out to a Japanese restaurant that her and her Mum have been eating at lately; Sushi of Masuya. She knew that I’d been craving Japanese food since returning from my trip to Japan!

The restaurant looked lovely from the outside, and so spacious on the inside (so not used to the space after Japan trip!). The staff were friendly and the food was great! Seafood was fresh and dishes were traditional with a slight twist. 100% would recommend, and definitely will be back to try their Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu too.

Deep-fried short rib with snails and asparagus, definitely my fave dish of the night.

Anise & chervil meringue on a bed of corn custard.

Jess and I, wasted, seated right in the middle on the bench overlooking the kitchen, best seats in the house!

Jess wanted to get dressed up one last time before she goes overseas on her epic adventure, so she booked us in to Momofuku for an amazing meal. I’d been once before back in 2012, but last time I didn’t do the beverage pairing. This time we went for the full pairing and my God we got trashed! SO much booze, so awesome! The menu was completely different to last time too, the chefs as well, but that same David Chang iPod playlist was in full force with AC/DC blasting from the speakers.

Jess took photos of all the food, and booze. I took some notes, but my notes got worse as the night rolled on (haha). I’m sure her blog post will be much more comprehensive than mine, look out for it on her blog soon.
