Yarrrdbird

Stussy is breaking into the food collaboration, having doing a collab previously with Plan Check restaurant in West Los Angeles the second one was at Hong Kong and I was lucky enough to take part of it. Stussy chose Yardbird for their second food collaboration.

I was there around 12:20am and the first seatings were filled already, we wait for around 40mins before we headed in. The place has two floors, we were at the basement level where the kitchen was so we were able to see some of the preparations. The seatings were pretty jammed as they try to fit as much people as possible, which was a good thing since I prefer the pack, loud and busy environment with people chatting along, laughing and having a good time. The food was great there were highlights such as the Twice Fried Chicken, Popcorn Gizzard, Crispy Ramen Salad, Fried Chicken Fillet and Sweet Potato Gratin... a lot of highlights I know... but the food was great! The portions were definitely enough if not too much. It was a once off menu but I sure hope that they keep the ones I listed above. The staff were all friendly and trying to social with everyone.

It was def a pleasant experience and be sure to check out their regular menu some other time.

Unfortunately the photos I took were taken with my film camera so I will upload them once I get the processed. Meanwhile enjoy this inspiring video they did with OTHERS x HYPEBEAST.

What a great title to a video food blog that introduce food ventures in New York ranging from duck blood to pork face.

There is alot of food video blogs floating around especially for NY but I think it pays abit more attention to the video making. The typography, the intro, the b-rolls. The chefs also knows how to describe the food and have character which definitely helps engaging the audience.

They also dig into the chefs and bartenders in their secrets to their recipe. The video is also short and clean which I think is a smart move to make the audience keep following and clicking for the next episode... like me lol.

I would love to make videos like this for Sydney too but I'll definitely have to find the right people to host the show. Anyone interested or recommends people? Might start planning this for 2012 video making :D

I would post the first three episodes here, click READ MORE for the rest.

I'm sorry I just realised I havent posted for a week so I decided to post something that everybody would be somehow interested in.

The Maccas photos always looks so so good and appetising, but usually what you see if not really what you get.

Here's a video that explains why.

Learn to make Guacamole

This is a very creative and interting way to teach you how to make Guacamole a super addictive dip with corn chips.

The sound effects was excellent as well as the creative items used.

It just motivates me to make a this dip myself...lol

Oldest Burger in Town

Filming this place must be awesome.

The Prime Burger Restaurant, in Midtown Manhattan.

Old rusty classic décors and fantastic personnel. Their shot selection was excellent, the framing was impeccable and I really loved the whole atmosphere of the place.

Should definitely try this place out whenever you'll be in New York.

First Food Blog

Vince Ha-Hau and I went to the Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Sydney for a dinner. The food was great and Vince put down some notes about the place.

Here's some of the notes he wrote down:

Atmosphere

• Stylish yet relaxing
• nice date place
• would come back just for environment

Food:

Italian Nachos

• Fried Buffalo Ricotta Ravioli was crisp and golden yellow, flavours of the ricotta wasn't over powering which worked well
• Sauce, the "angry" side gave a kick in the pallet like a salsa
• Complimented very well with the saltiness of the ravioli.

 

Prawn Linguini 

• Flavoursome, great textures pasta was al dente.
• The broth was infused with the flavours of prawn with a spicy after taste, it all compliments each other especially the rocket as the bitterness is intense when eaten itself, not when eaten together though.

Crab & Squid Ink Risotto

• Due to the ink, black food doesn't look appealing, however the flavous was brilliant & the risotto was cooked perfectly.
• I (Samuel) personally though this was great though not enough cause we ordered the smaller size. The risotto was nice and crunchy the flavours was packed with punches.

The Ultimate Brownie

• Good presentation
• Great vanilla ice-cream - smooth real vanilla flavour.
• Brownie is nice, hot & rich with chocolate flavour.
• However it taste too soft & moist felt more like a chocolate cake not a brownie.

He forgot to write his dessert.

• .I only remember his dessert was better overall.

This was a great place to eat consistent above average food and to chat and share ideas.

Very relaxing, good music, service and surroundings.

Sure will come remember and come back again some time.
