Night Noodle Markets

Posted on 20 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Last night Christina and I met up with some friends at the Night Noodle Markets in Hyde Park.

The idea of a night noodle market excites me. I instantly think of Singapore, but earlier last night I met one of Christina’s work mates at the pub who had bad things to say about last years event (long queues and food court quality food) and too right what a crap event it was.

The queues for the better known restaurant stalls were at least an hour long which forced us to queue up at stalls with smaller lines (still a 30 minute wait!). We ended up eating Himalayan food (which you can get at Paddington Markets every Saturday) and last night each plate of food was more than double the usual price ($15/plate!).

To top it off all of us came unprepared for a very cold night. I lost my Lumix GF1 lens cover (great) and at the Domain Carpark I was given $40 worth of change in coins! Lovely!

Lunch at Jamie’s

Posted on 10 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

My sister put on a lunch yesterday for all of her (and Richie’s) pommy mates, and as usual she smashed it! Food was so good, she’s an awesome entertainer (wish I had some of that!). Some pics:

Oz and Dexter. My mate Oz is a real man now!

Dexter – Omnomnom!

Richie’s new Foxy beers!

Entree’s.

Home made icecream for dessert.

BBQ

Posted on 9 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

We had a BBQ at ours yesterday. Unfortunately the weather was crap but the company was awesome. Here are a few random pics:

Our cheap BBQ worked a treat!

Group shot.

Kay’s rad boots.

It’s the me.

As much as we try not to work with friends, sometimes it can’t be avoided! Here’s Gen picking out a pantone colour for her new business card which Christina is designing.

Mia did so well with the crowd (and all the noise!). We’re so proud of her, she’s so good with people!

Nat + Mia love.

Gen’s new guy Matt did well meeting and mingling with everyone considering Christina’s mates are a very clicky group. He got overexcited when Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” came on TV and broke one of our bentwood chairs though! I suppose we can forgive him just this once!

Jon – Superman Dat Hoe.

Pong table came out, must almost be that time of year again!

The couch crew.

BBQ!

Posted on 8 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Our new BBQ.

Yeah it’s a crap $129 job from Bunnings. I wanted to buy this everdure BBQ, more than twice the price but it looks sturdy and really easy to clean (and potentially easier to keep clean). Christina had some doubts about it though so in the end we went with the Jumbuck. Putting it together it was evident how crap it was, the screws are going to rust overnight, some of the heads on the bolts weren’t even welded on straight! Hopefully the weather’s going to be awesome tomorrow so we can put it to work. Despite the shitty BBQ I’m sure the food’s going to taste great!

Fratelli Fresh

Posted on 8 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Christina and I left a package in Nath’s car during Pizza night the other night and he kindly came over today to drop it off. There was another reason why he came over though, he wanted to show this off:

I heard him before he knocked on the door!

Made in Slovenia. It’s an Akrapovic exhaust. I just checked out their site, different!

Nath hadn’t had brekkie and Christina and I hadn’t had lunch so we thought we’d eat at Fratelli Fresh

Strange stuff: They had an entire wall dedicated to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

Oils ain’t oils!

I had the meatball pasta. OMG too good. TOO GOOD! I’ve been on a high ever since. So so happy. So happy.

VWG Pizza Night

Posted on 6 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

VWG Pizza night last night at Made in Italy. Small group of 9 but a lot of fun :)

Pre-dinner beers at The Gaelic Club.

Frenchie’s R36 wagon. Looking so good.

Wagon Mafia!

Polo pizza was great.

Nutella Pizza!

Nath took us in and AP took us home in his 500HP R32 turbo monster (which was surprisingly smooth).

Melb vs Syd

Posted on 5 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Sandra and Terence.

Last night Christina and I caught up with Melbournians Terence (we know him through the VWGolf.net.au forums) and his girl Sandra (who was in town doing work experience for Marie Claire). We had dinner at Kelly’s, which is always hit and miss. Unfortunately the food was a miss tonight but the company rocked out so much I wasn’t fussed! So good to meet genuinely good people.

Taste Of Shanghai

Posted on 3 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

Last night we had a Lock family dinner at Taste Of Shanghai in Eastwood.

Olive rice, very nice.

Crab with salted egg (that’s egg on top of the crab shells!).

Sweet and sour trout.

I’ve eaten at this place before, didn’t rate it, but they’ve totally done up the place and the food last night was a lot better than before. Hit and miss, some dishes were pretty average but most of the dishes were different to the usual (which I think is a good thing!).

Christina’s pie!

Posted on 2 October, 2010 by Justin Fox

We had Christina’s sister Jess + cousin Norman + his girlfriend Amanda over for dinner last night (it’s the first time we’ve had people over for dinner). Christina made chicken pies and damn it was so good!!!

Norman and Amanda (she’s a pro bowler!) coming up the stairs.
