Chicken Jaeger, see the sauce? That’s pretty much what came out of my ass a few hours later.

The Schoff, always awesome.

So last night some of the boys got together for dinner at Unas. I’ve been a fan of their Chicken Jaeger Schnitzel for years now, but over the years I’ve seen the dish get smaller and smaller, less and less sauce, more and more expensive and just generally worse and worse. Last night was another one of those bad nights. Chicken was thin, tough and the piece under the top piece of chicken was burnt dark brown.

What’s worse is that when I got home I had a stomach ache, after I recovered I got a message from Garth saying his stomach was killing him and he’d gone to the toilet 3 times already.

FU Unas. Never again!

Danks St. Depot – Chive and truffle flavoured burps all afternoon (yuck!).

BBQ chicken was great.

Ben in my Anja sunnies. Ben insists that the shape of his face doesn’t suit sunnies. I insist on trying to find sunnies to suit him ahaha.

Last night I had a good catch-up and dinner with Ben at Taste of Thai in Randwick (always good because Ben’s one of those guys I can openly talk about relationships with, fashion even). I’ve known of this place for years, have walked and driven past it many times, it’s always packed and I always knew it was only a matter of time before I was going to eat there.

The menus were well worn, it was packed and the food came out real fast. Tasty meals, reliable Thai, the way it should be!

Tucked away in a one way dead end lane.

$50, all you can eat and sashimi on the menu? Srs?!

Our table had 3 free standing hot charcoal BBQ’s.

Venue was crazy smokey and the heat emanating from the hot charcoal was pretty intense.

Last night Willy organised an impromptu dinner for Charles, who’s back in town for a couple of weeks. Most places were booked out apparently but he managed to get us a table for 9 at Suminoya in the city.

I’ve never been to Suminoya before, it’s owned by the same people that run Rengaya and Koya in Sydney’s North but instead of using gas they use hot coals. The restaurant was tucked away in a small lane close to Martin Place and inside it was crazy smokey (my new jacket now stinks like BBQ!).

Dirty stories and hardcore payouts. As usual when hanging out with the old Auto Salon Magazine guys there was much laughter! Food was awesome too, and great value at $50 for all you can eat.

Mamak.

Roti was awesome.

Ayam Goreng.

Chicken Satay.

Nasi Lemak (coconut rice).

I’d heard about Mamak, a Malay restaurant for a while now. Every time someone said something about it I thought they were saying ‘vagina’ in Indonesian (Memek!). Christina and I have been hunting down new things to eat so we gave it a go. We got there at just before 6PM and it was already packed, we literally got the last table available (and on the way out there was a decent sized queue outside).

Like seeing a movie. I tried my best to ignore the hype, but alas I have to say that I think it’s more hype than amazing food. Sure, the roti was awesome, really light and fluffy. I’ll be back to try more of the different roti they serve up, but the friend chicken wasn’t the best I’ve had (my Mum’s is way better!), the satay chicken wasn’t the best either (my uncle still kills it, Jimbaran a close second) and the nasi lemek was just boring (lamb curry was crazy tough and dry too).

Hot Wings with blue cheese dipping sauce.

NYC Chilli Dog.

Pulled Pork Sandwich.

All washed down with a Bud to keep the American theme going.

After watching MasterChef last night, where the contestants prepared a “soul food” meal in Harlem NYC, both Christina and I were craving something warm and hearty. We Googled for a bit and decided to try Blue Plate Bar & Grill in Neutral Bay. Friendly service, nice atmosphere and the food was indeed spicy and hearty. Not quite the Fried Chicken, Ribs and Black Eyed Peas we were after, but still great!
