[LAST VISITED MAY 2013]

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 4

High tea, low tea & mee.

Zhou Mum Cafe ~ Chinese - Kingsford\Kensington

We're super food nerdy excited to find Zhou Mum Cafe in Kingsford, it's a style of eating we saw a lot of in our recent trip to China, but circumstances didn't let us try it nearly as much as we would have liked. So we're over the moon to get another stab at it back home in Sydney. 

Indo Cafe @ Kingsford ~ Indonesian [CLOSED]

There were tears when we discovered our beloved Kaki Lima Cafe was no more. But we bit our quivering bottom lips and tried it's replacement, Indo Cafe @ Kingsford, then it was all smiles again. 

[CLOSED - 2012]

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 3

On the third day of our KL tour we chow down in Chow Kit, lunch at KLCC, eat out of toilets and end the night bowling. As anyone would do on a holiday.

Little Bloggers in Big China

What happens when a Florida based student decides to translate your blog into Chinese? A Chinese Street Food fan club!

More More Cha ~ Malaysian - Chinatown [CLOSED]

Our Malaysian obsession peaks with a fine feed at More More Cha, Chinatown. [CLOSED - JULY 2012 - NOW CALLED MALAY VILLAGE]

Petaling Street ~ Malaysian Hawker Food - Haymarket

Our recent week of eating in Kuala Lumpur taught us that too much Malaysian food is barely enough, even with stretchy pants. Back in Sydney our Malaysian obsession continues so we try the the new-ish Petaling Street Malaysian restaurant on George Street.

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 2 ~ Imbi, Chinatown & An Old Kopitiam

We devour all three main food groups in one day: Malay, Indian and Chinese, but we won't admit to having Western food for dinner.

Flemington Khai's Restaurant ~ Chinese Malaysian - Homebush West - [CLOSED]

We've been on a three-week Malaysian bender yet we're still hungry for more makan. So we head out to Homebush West to try Flemington Khai's Restaurant, a joint that's been on our eat list for quite some time. Then we waddle over to Strathfield checking out the food options as we go, ending with the goodness of Hello Happy Korean cafe.

[CLOSED - FEBRUARY 2014]

Chinese Noodle Bar ~ Haymarket

This little spot on George Street has gone through a few changes of name and ownership over the years. Throughout it's many incarnations it has always been popular, North Chinese and yum.

Kuala Lumpur Tour ~ Day 1 - Jalan Alor

A week of Street Food feasting in Kuala Lumpur starts with a great Chinese feed at the legendary eat street, Jalan Alor.

A Week of Street Food in Bali

Alison allows Shawn to go to Bali unsupervised and check out what the locals are eating in the tourist ghettos of Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Nusa Dua. Where there's mass tourism, there's a mass of local workers, and where there's local workers, there's local food.

La Shish ~ Lebanese - Guildford

One of our readers suggested we try La Shish Lebanese at Guildford. So we did.

China Tour ~ A Final Feeding Frenzy in Singapore

On a one day stopover in Singapore we attempt the Street Food record for the number of food court visits in a day.

Pho Pasteur ~ Vietnamese - Haymarket\Chinatown

After twenty years we finally get around to blogging Pho Pasteur Vietnamese on George Street.

China Tour ~ A Quick Stopover in Hong Kong

A quick one day eat-over in Hong Kong as we head home.  We further indulge in our obsession with Hong Kong coffee shop food, try a couple of old favourites, and find a few new ones.

China Tour ~ Macau, without Jamie Packer

On our second visit we learn that there's much more to Macau than booze and casinos.

Ramen Bootcamp at Ichi-Ban Boshi ~ The Galleries, City

After three trips to Japan and countless ramens around Sydney, we've come to the conclusion that the more ramen we eat, the less we understand it.  We realise we barely know our shio from our shoyu, so we take a week of ramen re-education camp at Ichi-Ban Boshi, at The Galleries in the city.

China Tour ~ Guangzhou & Zhuhai

Guangzhou is the home of Cantonese cuisine. After a hell bus trip we eat what we can and muse about the possibilities left behind.

Takeru Poporo ~ Japanese - Market City, Chinatown

Alison's face lights up like she's a six year old with a McHappy Meal when Japanese spaghetti is suggested for dinner. Japanese spaghetti is like kids' party food for grownups: it's cheesy and fun, but with fish eggs and seaweed.

Tamana's North Indian Diner ~ Newtown

Generations of folks who have lived, studied and played around Newtown have a special place in their heart for Tamana's Indian on King Street. Tamana's is best known for a quick "3 curries on rice" from the bain-marie, but they also have some thali, chaat and dosa dishes worthy of investigation.

HLJ Asian Express ~ Chinese ~ Broadway near Central Station [CLOSED]

George Street at Central is one harsh spot for a restaurant, yet HLJ Asian Express thrives. 

[CLOSED AROUND APRIL 2014 - REPLACED WITH MR NOODLE - SAME OWNERS WITH NEW MENU AND FITOUT]

Ashfield Cafe ~ Malaysian ~ Hercules Street, Ashfield

It's funny how the most 'overseas' we've felt in a Sydney restaurant lately was in an old school Aussie milk bar.

[UPDATED OCTOBER 2013]

Shanghai Delicious Food ~ Dixon House Food Court [CLOSED]

Shanghai Delicious Food speaks the truth. It's from Shanghai. It's Delicious. And it's Food.

[CLOSED EARLY 2014/MAYBE LATE 2013]

China ~ The Tulou Tour from Hell

Living large on a Chinese only speaking bus tour to the famous tulous and onwards to Guangzhou.

Eastwood Korean Restaurant

We try an Eastwood Korean Restaurant called Eastwood Korean Restaurant. It's in Eastwood.

Pondok Buyung Indonesian Restaurant - Kensington

We couldn't pick a single favourite restaurant in Sydney, but Pondok Buyung would be in our top three list, if we had one. Man we love this joint.

[UPDATED JANUARY 2013]

Maya Vegetarian Indian Restaurant ~ Surry Hills

Looking to eat where Indian folks go? Maya Vegetarian in Surry Hills.

[UPDATED APRIL 2013]

Rice House, Bulgogi Burgers and the Rise of Korean Food in Southport, Gold Coast

We do our little bit to spread the word on the excellent hole-in-the wall Korean restaurants in Southport, the 'Chinatown' of the Gold Coast.
