Good and Juicy!
This week our pasta is neon, our bread is savoury and our citrus is tart and juicy. We've got a movie that focuses on the messy middle part of growing up, slippery rice noodles, a yoga studio that hums and @moremccomas’s ongoing quest for the perfect pair of undies. Come along for the ride!

Next time you’re at AP House or AP Town, see if you can see past the pastries and pick yourself up a loaf of the Sesame and Fenugreek bread as well. If it get’s a little stale the dregs make excellent bread crumbs.

Banh Cuon Ba Oanh, Marrickville Ooooh boy is this place delicious. Tiny and busy with a small menu, you want the slippery steamed rice noodles with the grilled pork. Coconut on the side for drinking!

Alison Roman’s Citrusy Cheesecake Tis the season for citrus, so we’re putting them in all our baked goods. This is a jiggly baked cheesecake with just a subtle hint of orange.
White Rabbit Gallery + Teahouse is a slightly under the radar spot in Chippendale with shows that can be dark and subversive, always interesting. It’s free and there’s a sweet little tea and dumpling spot on the ground floor.
Fool The Game While you’re at White Rabbit peruse the gift shop and pick yourself up this game - like a cross between charades and taboo - for playing with your friends when you’re a few wines in.
It’s tangelo season! Tart and juicy - they really quench a thirst!
Kiki Sichuan Instant Noodles Are Taiwanese and slightly hard to find, but worth the effort! These come with a Sichuan pepper seasoning and oil - but you can jazz it up even further with a little tahini, some chopped up bok choy or cucumber. Go to town!
Arrivederci pals!
