Australia Day


First stop: 212 Blu in Newtown.


Chai and Coffee. Grey cups for a grey (and rainy) day.


I went for the Boss One Hander; Shaved leg ham, poached egg and slaw. Delish!


Nyaw friendship rings!


Next stop: Carriageworks in Redfern.


Christian Boltanski’s massive installation “Chance”.


Slow Jazz and chills at Cornerstone Bar & Food within Carriageworks. Loved the building, couldn’t help but dream of a similar space for Zen Garage.


Next stop: White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale.


Such an impressive building, really loved the show too.


Next stop: Central Park.


The place was dead, but the whole mall and surrounds are nice actually, loved the Melbourne/Japan/community vibes.


Next Stop: Watsons Bay. The sun finally came out in the afternoon so Jess and I headed straight to the water.


The Hotel was packed so we settled for Doyles on the pier. Sydney Rock Oysters, fish, scallops, bliss!


Next Stop: Messina! Coconut Lychee’s my thing.


And Jess loves affogatos.


When we got back to Jess’ place her flatmate and friends were about to get anhialated on this vodka infused watermelon!


And Jess was in the mood to bake a Black Star Bakery Strawberry and Watermelon cake (SO good!).

My Mum’s B’day falls on Australia Day every year and we usually celebrate it with lots of booze and a BBQ, but plans fell through this year as my nephew Leo isn’t well.

Jess didn’t have anything planned so we hooked up and had a spontaneous day of rummaging around Sydney, which turned out to be a great big day out!

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.

Nanami took Krysti and I to Vasco tonight, an awesome little bar on Cleveland st. Walking into the place was like a time warp to high school/uni days. Basically looked like my bedroom! We’re talking Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth!!!! My eyes couldn’t settle! Loved the atmosphere, cocktails and food were good too!

Forget the so so chocolate cake in the background, the strawberry thing was where it was at.

Finally got to his shop just up the road from me in Waverly. It’s so close! Will have to visit some more for sure!

Reuben Hills. Whoo hoo! Yet another hipster style cafe serving up American comfort food!

How could we not order the chicken? Was so tender, juicy and tasty. Yum yum.

stew
The blackbean and portk stew was hearty, really yummy.

obey
Dropped past OutrĂ© Gallery and couldn’t resist buying myself this signed Shepard Fairey print. Cheap, and reminds me of a Japan trip many years ago where I saw it splattered all over the place.

Three Williams in Redfern.

Housemade flat bread with glazed beef brisket with slaw, gherkins and chipotle mayonnaise.

Grilled prawns and smashed avocado. Flavours? Mexican Tacos basically. Can’t say I was blown away.
