Ask a Local: The Perfect Weekend in Sydney, According to Artist Gabrielle Penfold | Condé Nast Traveler

"For Gabrielle, the weekend gets going with a stop at VN Street food. It’s her go-to place after a long day in her studio at her parents’ house or on her way to the studio for lunch. She’ll hang out with a mate who’s also got flexible working hours. 'I go for a lychee freeze,' she says. 'It’s like a frozen coconut slushie. It’s got herbs and refreshing mint, and it cuts through the saltiness of the Vietnamese pho. It’s as authentic as a Vietnamese street restaurant.' Another favorite of Gabrielle’s is the bun cha—noodles and pork meatballs that have been grilled over a charcoal wood fire and drenched in a sweet-salty broth."
