Jamie and Richie cooked up this insanely naughty chunk of pork with plenty of the good sauce to go around.

This speaking and moving cookie monster toy begs for cookies which are stored in his backpack, you then feed him and he goes “om nom nom”. Haha love it.

We smashed this pav. So good.

Paul & Laura.

Had a lovely chilled dinner last night with Jamie, Richie, Paul & Laura. Paul’s one of Richie’s good mates and the last time I met them was about 5 years ago at my wild NYE house party. Fell in love with the two straight away, both such awesome people. They’ve been living in the UK but Paul’s landed a job in NZ and they’ve made a quick stop-over in Sydney to visit Miles. They were doing great considering they just got off the plane from London last night!

Prawns were the entrée special of the day. So tasty.

Scallops with buttered corn.

The sirloin was the main of the day. Cooking shows harp on about ‘balance of flavour’, after eating this dish I now know what it’s all about!

Slow grilled lamb.

Light and refreshing dessert suited the hot weather today.

Christina and I had a boozy Friday lunch at The Bridge Room in the city today, a new restaurant from the owners of Quay and Otto Ristorante. Service and food was amazing. We were the only people in there not wearing business suits! A real corporate atmosphere at lunch time, would definitely love to try the other things on their menu, but perhaps a dinner next time.

In the heart of Cabra.

Unfortunately Sydney’s Best Pho restaurant was shut last night, but we were in Pho Land and Mark chose this second option in a jiffy.

Pho was great, as expected!

Mark’s turbo taxi. As lazy and comfy as you like, but floor it and it’s an absolute weapon!

Last night I caught up with Mark Pakula, who picked me up in his turbo taxi and drove me out to Cabramatta in south-western Sydney for some authentic Pho. I’ve never set foot in Cabra before so it was a treat, great Pho, clean and tasty, great catch-up too.

Dropped in to Deus for some inspiration for Zen Garage warehouse space.

Love the simple steel coping + end caps they’re using for everything in the shop.

The entire change room was made with the same coping + end caps.

Rob suggested the Steak Sandwich. It was damn good.

Angelo’s Portugalia in Kensington.

Last TRuesday night Stevey and I hit Angelo’s Portugalia for some authentic Portuguese food. Tight-ass Tuesdays too so food was half the price. Service was shocking, felt so sorry for the 2 friendly floor staff who struggled to attend to everyone but the chicken literally melts in your mouth, it’s so damn good. Portuguese wine was nice too.

Excuse the lack of updates, not been lazy, been in the matrix working my ass off on the Zen Garage online store!

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there. Yesterday Christina and I put together this little hamper of weird and wonderful cooking ingredients for Mr. Lock. Hope he enjoys it!

Prawn + Almond balls.

Yum Cha at Palace with the family, always a hardcore affair. More people, more dishes, more full!
