Black Betty Coffee Fix

Cacia Zoo at Black Betty.

blackbetty_kingsford_colddrip
Cold Drip goodness, on ice. Smooth as!

blackbetty_kingsford_croffin
Cacia tears into a croffin!

blackbetty_kingsford_siphon
Aromatic siphon coffee.

Always awesome dropping in to Black Betty Espresso Co. in Kingsford for a coffee hit. Cacia and I shared a croffin, a nutella filled pastry that’s not a croissant, nor a muffin, but something in between. We also savoured some refreshing cold drip, and some fruity siphon coffee too.

Chinese Noodle & Dumplings

fungus
Black Fungus salad was an awesome way to get the taste buds going.

curry
Cacia went for the curry noodles.

fujian
Jess had the Fujian noodle soup, subtle broth was delish.

beefnoodlesoup
I went for the beef noodle soup, noodles were a bit thick, but the broth was awesome (and reminded me a lot of a Vietnamese Pho).

dumplings
Xiao Long Bao is always a good test for any restaurant and I’m happy to say these guys pass!

There’s always a new restaurant popping up on Anzac Parade in Kingsford. I can’t keep up with them all! One I’ve been meaning to try since my flatmate mentioned it a couple of months ago is this new Chinese noodle restaurant which serves up some really traditional dishes (lots of intestines and offal on the menu!).

Food was good! Will definitely be back for another try.

Apologies in advance, we didn’t catch the name of the restaurant except for the huge NOODLES sign outside. It’s got a facade which makes it look like an old world Chinese restaurant, wooden bamboo like window decorations etc. It’s directly across the road from Manpuku. I’ll be sure to get a name for it when I go past next time.

spotted_turbo_beetle
Time to hit thew road. Spotted! A Turbo Beetle! I love these!

3sisters1
We got up late, and only hit the road at 2pm, we finally got the the mountains close to 5PM which made it too late for us to catch the scenic railway, it turns out the three sisters trail was shut for maintenance in any case so we did another walk from the three sisters to scenic world instead.

bluemountains1
Them blue mountains.

jess_walk

jess_cacia
Jess, Cacia and big views.

Big smiles too!

Just hanging out.

yellowdelicafe
The Yellow Deli – Jess spotted this comfy looking cafe from the outside, and it was amazing on the inside!

yellowdelicafe_food
Now this is what you call hearty comfort food. Something the hipster cafe’s in Sydney will never get right. Food that feels like it’s made with love and that it’s making you healthier with every spoon full, add to that a bill that surprises you to the point of leaving a generous tip.

Amazing seafood basket for 2 at Driftwood on the bay.

I’ve had a craving for black sesame ice-cream ever since being denied a serve at Sush Train over a week ago (they ran out of stock!). Craving demolished thanks to Passionflower.

babylikestopony Video Shoot with Cacia Zoo

cemetery

Some more teaser shots from the awesome 3 way collab between myself, NYC based model/artist Cacia Zoo and videographer Scott Mitchell for Babylikestopony – we finished off the shoot last night with a whole lot of footage of Cacia in Chinatown with the Katana (we got a lot of stares!), then we broke into a cemetery, which was freaky considering it was Friday the 13th! Security got us, and kindly escorted us out.

These shots are raw, completely un-cropped and unedited (except the cemetery shot which I’ve made black and white). Love the a7S in low light! I can’t wait to upload the whole set!

PS: Being brought up to respect the dead I made sure I personally apologised and excused myself whilst walking through the cemetery. This particular shoot/video is definitely bound to rattle a few cages.

Photoshoot: Roshie

Had a snappy shoot with Roshie yesterday who’s South African/English and models full time for a living. She’s a great alt girl who loves to fire breathe and twirl (something I’d like to try and shoot in future perhaps!). She’s a bit of a Star Wars nut too so we did some fun Storm Trooper shots as well.

funnies
Funnies with our bacon ad egg rolls!

I’m an early riser, Robbie knows this, so he messaged me to see if I was up for brekkie. Yes! Let’s! He got Krysti out of bed and we went for a stroll down to the beach. Great way to start the day!
