Playing ping pong at an Allstar tournament, Tonkatsu Sandos to icey coffees.
The Food
The Spesh from Fable + Stey
Blackrock, 24 Newtown Park
Tonkatsu Sando made up by Blackrockers Fable + Stay looks every inch of sandwich heaven. Made up with panko-breaded pork chops, tonkatsu sauce with wasabi + kewpie mayo coleslaw is served between great big hunks of fluffy brioche bread.
The Drink
The Icey from A Stór Coffee
44 – 47 North King Street, Smithfield
We’ve been waiting for a business to signal the official return of ice coffees, ever since the Spring sun started to slowly defrost the frozen muck and dog shit. A Stór have released their ice coffee into the wild and are waiting for all the gaping mouths to gather around their Smithfield premises. The team serve up speciality coffees and toasties from their coffee shop under Soup 2.
