Green Gourmet must be one of Newtown's longest running restaurants, it opened in 1998 but we only ventured in for the first time a few years ago.

Ippudo ~ Japanese - Sydney CBD

After the hype has died down we finally make it to Ippudo. It's nice.

Vatan ~ Persian - Auburn

We love the crazy mix of cultures in Auburn. Known mostly for it's Turkish community, it has grown to embrace a wide mix of Chinese, African and other Muslim communities. We've tried a few restaurants here but always wanted to try the Persian food on offer. First stop is Vatan.

Daily Fresh ~ Hong Kong Dumplings - Dixon House Food Court, Chinatown [CLOSED]

Pepper Lunch ~ Japanese - George St CBD

Japanese fast food chains have a special place in our hearts. They are the saviour of budget travellers, offering a tasty rice bowl, curry or noodle soup as an option to sushi trains when the yen is tight. When Yoshinoya closed on Oxford St in Sydney it seemed we would never get a chance to eat Japanese fast food unless we flew to Japan.

Liu Food Van ~ Camperdown

While fashionable food trucks might be food wank of the month, we find a great el cheapo street food veteran alternative. This is a real food truck. Not an overpriced pulled pork taco in sight.

Singapore ~ Wokin the Suburbs

We hit up Singapore with plans of Peranakan feasting and end up on a suburban bus and beer or bust tour.

Last year's surprise closure of the much loved Malaysian restaurant Alice's Makan in Thornleigh caused many tears. But now Alice's Makan is up and running in a city foodcourt we're all smiles.

Nothing says "darl I lov ya" more than a 30 can block of VB and a feed from Addison Chinese Takeway. Happy Valentines Day.

Paju BBQ ~ Korean - Newtown

Due to it's Newtown address we assumed Paju BBQ Korean would be some kind of watered-down experience. How pleasantly wrong we were. Paju BBQ brings a bit of Eastwood in the inner west.

Taiwan Yes has been on our 'gimme eat' list ever since it appeared in place of  Ten Ren's Tea on George Street some months ago.
