[savage science fiction]

+1 since i live 15mins from the city, and ive been looking to shop for fabrics? i cant seem to find any. im looking for something thats fleece, cotton and polyester blend. any ideas, i dont plan on travelling to far though any time soon; preferrably around the city or even better in newtown. Thanks ahead.

nothing really in newtown

Theres Tessuti and the fabric store in surry hills

cotton fleece should be there too ? Its definitely at standard knit which is in roseberry but you will need an ABN for that

Jst go to spotlight/lincraft if you wnt some poly stuff

[savage science fiction]

ps all this food talk is making me hungry

im going to have to check these places out!

[James Vincent]

Glad a few people are down Jbone, I'm arriving around the 7th. If you are away, we can definitely catch up when you get back.

Ideas for dinner venue for the meet up?

had yum cha this morning @ greenwood seafood chinese restauarant or whatever it's called above greenwood plaza at north sydney. really good. im craving another dose right now. yum cha is excellent hang over cure.

Best yumcha in Sydney for mango pancakes.

I used to always go there for lunch meetings.

[homme.homme]

Pogi the mango pancakes were indeed amazing. Nice and fat with lots of mango. Lots better then marigold.

just had jap in darlinghurst. on crown st, a little past liverpool st. only really had sashimi - it was good though. decent pricing and good service. one white guy working there, kinda funny. nice looking menu, need to go back again.

Tsukasa! that sounds about right.

[JayPee]

Had the Parklife vip artists party last night.. pretty good! Junior Boys, Busy P, Lady Sov, La Roux, The Cool Kids etc..

[st_]

well, parklife would've been wet...

er.. maybe not, 'cause it was today, but still - it was fucking wet yesterday!

[jcotteri]

anyone have more Pho recommendations? or best Pho in Sydney? please..

thanks in advance

[kpnv]

i think most people just go to pasteur or whatever in haymarket. otherwise i think cabramatta or bankstown will do you well.

[st_]

i dunno much about pho, but there is pasteur, and then the place next to it is supposed to have some okay stuff also.

[kicks79]

Long weekend of rain =

[corey]

All pho in CBD sucks. Dis is my pain.

There is this joint in Rockdale opposite the pub and brothel which shits all over Bankstown.

Love that bun bo hue at Dong Ba though and the joint that put cha trung hap on your pork roll.

$6 Pho at Meridian in H'ville was good when I was poor student.

I could def smash right now argh!

[jcotteri]

ahhh really.. No good Pho in Sydney.. Surely not

someone has to drop a knowledge bomb..

thanks for the recs so far

haha topman @ INCU lol

[derek_]

a 'good' pho in syd is I think is a matter of personal taste...

I've tried most of the ones in the CBD and I have to agree with corey - they really really suck

My favourite pho place for the past 2 years now, is one in Chatswood Lemon Grove called "de Pho" which is next to the dumpling place ... it's run by honkies but the guy cooking is viet try to avoid peak times for lunch because the lines are fkn crazy ... go with less than 3 people during peak times if you this is the only convenient time for you however..

[kpnv]

that one's ok. cos i live in chats lol. i get the crispy skin chicken with egg noodles more often tho. i don't think its good enough to make a trip for. it's got long queues like makoto's got long queues, cos there's not that much around.

[lovelysteve]

i can't eat any of the pho when i go out, it just tastes so bad compared to home made, i've been spoilt

[profiterole]

^^ Yep all my viet friends reply with this.

After constant nagging, they have yet to take me out for pho bcoz, simply they have never eaten it outside lol.

[bernieee]

yeah... since ive been in sydney none of the pho can be comparable to my favourite place in toronto, makes me miss back home..

[kicks79]

Scottie B this sat @ Heat anyone going ?

[st_]

i went to the ducktails show at serial space tonight. was good while it lasted, but apparently 'the neighbours have a problem with noise' and turned the power off like mid-set, which was a shame. there was like an hour and a half of the 1st & 2nd acts and like half an hour of him.

[derek_]

So....Sydney International Food Festival has started (aka Good Food Month)...what are people looking to try and get to?

our blog team has already done a Sugar Hit @ Azuma Kushiyaki: http://www.herecomesthefood.com.au/eating-out/sugar-hit-1-2009-azuma-kushiyaki.html

gonna go do a Sugar Hit @ Glass Brassiere tonight

[James Vincent]

Derek, is the blog down at the moment? Getting a database error. We still need a venue for superfuture dinner/drinks on the 16th! Any suggestions?

[Ivans On High]

What are we going for? A trashy night on the cans? Or something mildly classy?

Sorry jbone, missed this post... If I'm feeding myself I usually swing for curries (Indian, Thai). I throw more dinner parties than I do eat out, but cuisine wise, there isn't much I don't like.

Launch party in Sydney is going to be December or January now, I just confirmed we got a place at the (capsule) trade show in NY this coming January - so a lot of our effort has been put into getting our northern-hemisphere jackets up to scratch.

What are we going for? A trashy night on the cans? Or something mildly classy?

Start with mildly classy, and we'll see which way it goes from there...

[Ivans On High]

Well what's the head count for the Sydney meet up?
