I was meant to be attending a cruise with the Northern Beaches crew but the boys recently bought a smoker box and have been playing with it every Sunday. I failed to turn up last weekend (my loss!) and when I dropped by to see them this morning they were already preparing dinner (and they’d been at it since way earlier too!). After seeing what they had going in the smoker box there was no way I was going anywhere!

The sight, the smell of the meat and the wood chips.

Wings and blue cheese sauce. The wings were amazing!

Mac & Cheese.

Ribs, flavour was bang on. So good it didn’t even need extra sauce.

Pork.

Pulling the pork!

Slaw (so delicious).

Sliders to pack in that food coma.

Last night the food crew decided to check out Toshiba’s Seriously Japanese Pop-Up Zushi Roller-Coaster, a pop-up that had a queue so long that we turned around as soon as we got there (that’s just the fucked up thing about Sydney isn’t it? When something “cool” is on, it’s a jam packed nightmare, most likely because of hipster sites like Broadsheet!).

We ended up heading up towards Holt Street in search for food and saw these inviting menus outside of Mama’s Bưởi, a new Vietnamese restaurant on route.

There was a table for us, but we had to be out in an hour, we decided against it, and just as we stepped outside, one of the staff called us back in as someone had cancelled! Decor was nice, obviously new to look old (fake patina) but still nice.

Nanami perusing the menu.

Always love trying new beers.

Fish cakes were worthy of a mention. Same traditional flavours, but the super crunchy outside made for a new experience.

And the only other dish really worthy of a mention was this massive crispy pork hok! Over the top!

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.

Spotted on the streets of Bondi – Item 1: Jeremy Meeks, the Mug Shot guy!

Spotted on the streets of Bondi – Item 2: Yew!

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!
