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.

Dropped past Outré 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.

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

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

Jess’ amazing DC2R has only 50,000kms on the clock. It looks as goes as new. It’s for sale too, if keen, drop me a message.

If you enjoy food, you might enjoy a copy of new food media production Scrag End. It’s a journal that’s focussed on divulging the stories beyond the plates by going further than offering photos and recipes.

Post WTAC Blues

Posted on 24 October, 2013 by Justin Fox


Aleks checking out the new Speedhunters book (which is so high res it’s like viewing images on a screen!).


With WTAC over, the original plan was to go snorkelling at Clovelly Beach but Creative Director of Speedhunters Rod Chong desperately wanted Yum Cha, which he says is not available in Stockholm, so we happily obliged!


Sebastian Dalle Carbonare. Our very own Seb Voll is a massive Dino fan so we thought we’d put Dino’s signature white frames on him haha.


After dropping Rod off to the airport we decided to walk down to the rock pool at the end of my street.


Had a dip, so refreshing. Really needed it!


We then feasted at Churrasco Coogee Beach. Always satisfying!


Coogee Beach, then goodbyes to Dino who’s now back home in Japan.

Post WTAC hangs

Posted on 20 October, 2013 by Justin Fox

Spent the day hanging out with our WTAC guests today. Rad day out! I’ve only just gotten home. I’m exhausted!


Hey Ved! First stop; Deus for brunch and some drinks to celebrate.


Carby Tuckwell’s amazing work. He was a mentor of mine when I did my internship at a company called Bold (which he shared office space in) during design school.


Great minds think alike! We ran into Ian Baker, the man behind WTAC and his mate Michael who manages race car drivers (including F1!).


Anton and Serg. More drinks yayer!


Hailey and Adam.


Boston Beans.


Hey Krysti!


Made a quick stop off at Zen to unload some stock which was in the boot of my car. Hailey got acquainted with Frankie our pet snake.


We then headed to the Opera Bar.


Tourist!


Luke, Adam and I found it a little too hot under the sun so we ducked in to the MCA to check out some art.


I always love checking out the key to the Opera House.


We’d been watching this crow try to crack open a nut for about 5 minutes, then Hails decided to crack it open for him, what a gal!


Food, and more drinks!


Luke and Inessa who’s a Playboy Bunny and Rally Driver from Russia.


From Russia with Love. Inessa gave me a packet of her smokes haha.


Inessa and I.


Then we had a private viewing of Rush at the Dendy (pretty much as we were the only people in there!) with Mad Mike, Rod, Dino and Brad from Speedhunters. Movie killed me, so emotional. I absolutely loved it.


Mad Mike and Inessa.

Xangpuak Lao & Thai Restaurant

Posted on 6 October, 2013 by Justin Fox

Last night Alain invited us to the grand opening of his new restaurant Xangpuak in Green Valley. I’m not a huge fan of travelling out west, but there was no way I was going to miss out on this!

The restaurant was full, the staff (Alain’s whole family) were beautiful. Food came out so fast and it was all mindblowingly amazing. So good I went back again tonight! Tonight I ordered a Pad Thai, massive test right? But damn the Pad Thai blew minds, we smashed it and had to order another one.

So proud of Alain, who was working hard tonight and last night. So jealous that he’s been eating this amazing food at home ever since he was a kid, but hey so happy he’s now sharing! I’m planning on being a regular, as there’s SO much more food on the menu I have yet to try!


Love the logo.


Alain, who was so professional (lol). So strange to be waited on by him!


Prawn entree was delicious.


Satay sauce was so good.


If you love ox tongue, you’ve got to order this off the char grill. Delicious!


Don’t order boiled rice, instead order the sticky rice which you can eat with your hands. Awesome.


Beef Salad was so fresh.


You must order the pork. Taste explosion!


Pow Pow Pow! Char Grilled Chicken had so much flavour.


Alain’s dish! The salmon salad had me sweating, but it’s damn amazing and was a favourite of many.


Lart Nah is a dish I always look for on a Thai menu, and it’s never there. SO excited when I saw it on the menu at Xangpuak. So excited to try all the other traditional dishes on the menu.


I was way too stuffed for dessert but I stole some of Krysti’s and gahhhhh, my gawd. Crispy pastry instead of that doughy stuff you usually find on friend ice cream? Genius!
