    BBQ City

    bbq city 4

    Oh we be doing some vanity driven activities

    6 of us met up for some Korean BBQ the other night for some good ol' kimchi ji gae hot pot, marinated ribs, oink belly belly and a full on selection of korean side dishes (my personal faves)

    bbq king

    Oui's so crazy it hurts to see her

    However tacky the name might sound, this place offers pretty decent korean bbq...similiar with the other more popular joint, Ma Dang....(which seems to inherit the most support amongst Sydney-ians...i beg to differ)....BBQ city...aint that bad...

    Not WOOOWW....but it aint that bad...

    bbq king 2

    I never eat Korean food without Kimchi Ji Gae...cos

    a) i worship it

    b) i cant live without it

    c) Korean food is not korean food without good ol' Kimchi Ji Gae

    Its so Korean that every housewife in Korea owns their very own Kimchi fridge...meaning they have 2 fridges...one for everything but Kimchi....and another for everything Kimchi...me is not lying...go ask any Koreans...they will tell u about their Kimchi Fridge....

    its pretty amazing...i want my own Kimchi Fridge..i would have my children and grandchildren own Kimchi Fridges too

    BBQ city 3

    This place is packed most of the time..queuing up for ur table is second nature....patience bring you to good food...but patience made me so darn freakin hungry i almost died...it wasnt pleasant to watch..

    the thing is with this place...i was surprised really....was that they didnt have those smoke absorber thingies u'd usually find in every korean bbq joints....which is baaaaddd newsss.....really....and no windows were left open..

    having to walk around the city smelling like u've been in a salami smoke house for 3 years....not very attractive i tell ya...its so bad even your leather belt would smell

    if you're not prepared to smell like salami and have people stare at u like ur a pig...dun even step near this place...it is bbbbaadddd....

    Stiletto's thumbs up: Pork Belly

    Stiletto's thumbs down: horrible ventilation

    Stiletto's restaurant rating: 2.8 inches 

     

  • Doin the Juggle

    I've been bz juggling between work (mostly), social life and shopping that ive neglected any form of creative-based activities that makes me sane....or at least partly sane...

    which sucks.....

    cos i've got so much working up on my brains...and yet nothing working on my fingers....

    Being solely run by me, Stiletto Joolz currently has zero inventories despite the hefty amount of resources..

    those lil things are literally shouting out loud....'MAKE MEEEEEE...mmaakkkeeee meeee...'

    i know i should...but i've just no time and energy to sit in my bath tub with my imaginary rubber duck and ber-Stiletto Joolz....

    but i will...and i need to....keep myself sain....at least

     

    and bcos i juggle

    Torso Corso Designs

    Because i think they're worth a mention... because it made me go 'Woh'....and because i know i wouldnt've even came close to imagine makin it....

     

    whitetoesetcopy

    Inspired by voodoo, tribalism and bands from NYC, Torso Corso handmades these body parts of toes, fingers and ears using resin.

    They look pretty darn real to me...and its hell good of a craftmens work....

  • Moet et Chandon (Pronouned Mo-Et....not Mo-Wee ppl..MO-ET)

    Screenshot_7_03 

     

    We had this French man fly down to Sydney to give us some tell-it-all-know-it-all for their Moet range today.....in freaking French-glish and boy did i dug my ears left right centre trying to pick up any audible sound of real English.

    it went something like this:

    'eh eh eh....zee shom pan re shon is zee..eh.on zee re shon zat can..ehh..label zee yar speh kling wines az shom pan..,'

    when it really should sound like this:

    ' the champagne region is the only region that can label their sparkling wines as champagnes'

    we know it sounds all sexy and all, with that whole French flair going on and perfect French cut suit and beautiful French made cufflinks ....

    but dayymmnn....me is speak England...me no speaking French-glish eh eh eh....

    Putting that all aside....i surprisingly enjoyed my glass of Brut Imperial NV and Nectar Imperial...it was loooveellyyy lovveelllyyy....

    I would've taken a picture of how bloody red i became after the tasting session...but SirNikon decided to went amiss on me today....and hence the nil.

    and on other side of things....

    why should one even want to drink coffee if they're ordering a decaf skinny mocha with equals on the side? really?...

    and and and..

    and now apparently this huge trend in the US for big money spenders is to pamper their pets wit testicular transplants, dog perfumes, cosmetic surgeries....

    so just you know...in case the public might recognise their famous guinea pig walking down on Rodeo Drive not smelling like Coco Chanel Madamoiselle....its just not very celebrity-like u know......sweat

    Me rambling about people, their drinking preferences and plastic pets in the wee hours of the morning....not very nice....

    rough night..

    i need a breather

     

  • Must-Dine-List

    I came to Sydney with the ultimate most ultimate goal of dining at Tetsuya's

    cos i know if i didnt...i would be whoopslash by my evil twin at the most porno of places till i R.I.P due to excessive stupidity...

    Being a slave to all things gourmet...Tet's has been the ultimate dream since seeing footage of the restaurant on tv back when i was a 16 year old twat.....and after 4 yearss.........

    Tets my baby.....big momma's coming to kiss that perky ass of yours.....lick it...and say my grace

    So I may sound desperate and all that...but seriously...Im just

    really really really desperate

    With weekend bookings packed up till next year...we managed to slot one on a weekday...and even so...it wasnt that easy....

    but like PHHHEWWWLAOMG...

    I'm counting down the days like its Xmas....yay yay!

    so my feasting plan while in Sydney looks like this:

    Tetsuya's

    Est.

    Restaurant Balzac

    Guillaume

    Rockpool

    Marque

    Quay

    Bring it on bring it on!

  • We love you for lovin us

    The Bamboo Junkies would like to throw big hugs to those that have given much support to Bamboo Stereo.

    thank you thank you and thank you!

    you make our days brighter and our bellies fuller....=)

    **************

    I've been occupied with quite a couple of things this week even TheBotakness is complaining about the lack of phone calls....jowwwiieee bbuuuuu

    I've also come to re-realise that the world is indeed very small....cos no matter how far i run away from the norm...it seems to bring me back to square one....but sometimes....the norm is good...

    I've also developed the love for liquor knowledge since given full-pledged liquor lessons in the wee hours by KnowItAllFranco and Brit-ishTristan.....and found out that 1 neat shot of Remy Louis XIII is equivalent to my week's rent. Double sweat.

    I've also found that though smiling at guests is the 1st step to delivering excellent customer service, it could also bring on unwanted and unneccessary attention, and hence now i choose with care before i decide to flash my bling bling

    I've also found out that i know no boundaries for my spendthrift ways and have decided to practice the laissez-faire approach towards my doings until MrCard tells me so...

    The launch of Bamboo Stereo was meant to be a week ago but due to unforseen circumstances such as gay bonding, tight schedule and a whole lot else of shit that cannot be disclosed, we had to delay it.

    If all goes to plan (fingers crossed), Bamboo Stereo  will officially launch this Sunday. (fingers crossed)

    The Stiletto, The platter, The gal

    Fresh

    fresh exterior

     

    Fresh, as the name so proudly dictates is your small suburban cafe offering diners with a selection of fresh, 100% organic bites for both the young and the old. I fell in love with the place the minute i stepped into it. It made the ideal Sunday breakfast hideout, but only 2 hours drive away from the city. A lil crazy to drive 2 hours for organic breakfast, but we're like that, we would fly mountains and rivers if it takes us to eat fresh wagyu moo.

    I like how the old timber door still cracks when every next person came into the cafe, and how the big arse coffee machinery was doin his thang roasting those beans like he's so good at it. I know he knows he's good, cos those coffee was my high of the day.

    fresh's  latte

    the bessstttt latte i've ever tasted. I swear

    100% organic beans

     

    fresh 2

    we luv 'em dirty and smelly

     

    fresh's beef burger

    Our 100% organic moo burger was pretty darn moomoo for a moo morning

    fresh

    We've got that local MrBrown strutting and workin it

     

    fresh me

    The gal and her moo burger

     

    The others had their organic big breakfast and open gourmet sandwiches we ended having to surrender cos the portions are not to kid with. Our Roti Canai back home with kick arse fish curry still perfects the portion.

    If you ever have a chance to travel 2 hours away from Sydney and feelin for some good old organic munchies, head down to Fresh. Was voted Best Breakfast Restaurant by the SMH Good Foor Guide. Dun pray pray.

    Its things like that that makes ozy a great place to live in. Yum.

     

    Stiletto's thumbs up: their kick arse Latte, cute waiters

    Stiletto's thumbs down: Its blardy 2 hours away from the city

    Stiletto's restaurant rating: 4 inches

    I'm so busy stalking young hotties in random thai restaurants that i neglect any other form of entertaintment or leisurely activities.

    bull.

    is it just us or does this hottie look like a 5 year old version of George from Grey's. Our own McJunior

    i couldnt concentrate on my bowl of noodles.

    He gave us the cutest face. We faint. We die. Beh Tahan.

    will update asap. too busy for now.

    shall let McJunior entertain you for the time being

    luv luv

    PS: anyone who kidnaps McJunior and brings him to me will be rewarded with much riches. No Tax.

     

     

  • butt-ons

    Butt-Ons! is Stiletto Joolz's quirkiest range of what not button earrings by far; mostly created when the girl is feeling all quirky herself while she chomps down on her favourite pork dumplings using her right brain and watch McDreamy workin his thang using her left brain. Screw the damn thief.

    Butt-Ons! are mostly created from ornaments and tralalas hunted down from her everday mischief pighunts anywhere from 500m countryside hilltops to her favourite down town trinket store. Its a lil bit of vintage, but not quite.....hhhmm
