Cheeri-woes


I was reading the Crit's blog, Cinnamonee, earlier and it made me realize how much I've been deprived of something so dear to me..cereal. The 2 major problems with Australia: A) Expensive Booze. (B) Shit cereals. I mean not one box in the cereal aisle even has the word "frosted" on it, not to mention I can't find a speck of cinnamon, sugar, or cinnamon sugar anywhere. I'm about ready to start an illegal cereal cartel to smuggle me in some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a few crates of my delectable Apple Cinny Cheeri-bros... I miss them dearly. This place doesn't even have Honey Nut Cheerios, I thought they were universal! I figured there were kids in Mumbai with no water to drink and even they had some honey nut.. but not here the only cheerio you can find here is the Whole grain kind, yeah the one with 0 flavor. Its like someone came in and sucked alll the fun out of breakfast. Oh, I was excited to find a box of Captain Crunch in a store featuring "international tastes" untill I realized it was $17.90. WTF. I guess cereal's only for ballers here. Can I get a table at the club with bottle service and a box of Cookie Crisp Playa? Real talk holla at me..

Pat & Stick's Ice Cream Sandwiches




I love ice cream and I love cookies. Now these two guys created a love child between homemade cookies and homemade ice cream and I'm beside myself. With a plethora of cookie and ice cream combinations, I think this is gonna be one habit I find hard to resist.

I wanna move like this

Pretty soon this dance'll be sweepin the nations. I'm not ready to unveil it in the clubs yet, but I'm gettin close..

Redoak: Boutique Beer Cafe

My quest for good beers in the austere brewing environment of Australia has lead me to Redoak Beer Cafe. The bar brews a large selection of its own craft beers and is only a few block from my house (how fortunate).

My Favorite Aussie IPA to date.
Today was my first visit and I was very pleased with the pint of IPA I ordered; hoppy and bitter with a nice full taste (despite only being about 6.5% abv). Although not as strong as home the flavor was there. I like their selection of beers but the bar was a bit sterile and the clientele was a bit too corporate and stuffy, which I guess is understandable considering its proximity to most businesses in CBD. Anyhow, I'll be back for the beer, but The Local Taphouse still holds the title for my favorite in Sydney.

These are crisp. Spotted @ Hype in CBD. Too bad everything is soo expensive in Sydney.

Curl Curl goes nuts!!!


Got my first taste of some real Aussie waves last weekend. Curl Curl was going OFF. Double over head and heavy. These pics were taken the day I was out and they don't even do justice to the waves that day. ep-gnar.
