A Sydney food blog celebrating the world's great culinary underbelly. We are ham-fisted enthusiasts who dig traditional foods, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and international supermarkets of mystery.

Supermarkets of mystery - Japanese granola sprinkle
A two for one special at Tokyo Mart got our ears up. Japanese granola sprinkles for rice seemed like a good idea and worth a bash. Sugar, pineapple, barley, oats and MSG for taste, mixed with rice or sprinkled on top, what could possibly be bad about that?

Papaya Grill ~ Lao - Marrickville
While a revision of the Illawarra Rd strip in Marrickville is attracting all the attention, Papaya Grill has been quietly serving up Lao food with an unexpected punch and bang.

Eating Chiang Rai ~ Thailand
Chiang Rai, the northern Thai town not yet too big for its boots. We slingshot in and out, taking in some of the small town but big flavours this place has to offer.

Lina's Kusina Cafe ~ Filipino - Glebe
Lina's Kusina Cafe in Glebe is great place to dip your toe into Filipino cuisine. They have a modern easy-eating style of cooking and super friendly service. And if you're dragging along non-adventurous eaters there's also western style sandwiches and stuff, though try to talk them into the Chicken inihaw, they can even have it with chips.

Allan's Cake Hot Bread ~ Bakery - Newtown
Hot Bread shops like this are fast disappearing in the inner west and across Sydney as buildings get renovated and tastes change or owners move on. Allans Cake Hot Bread is still serving up their cake goodness and pork rolls to all and sundry in Newtown and Enmore.

Liu Lao Lao Burger ~ Chinese, Eating World Food Court, Chinatown
This is our favourite kind of place, a tiny hole-in-the wall run by super tops aunties and a cheery uncle, with awesome food of course. If only we knew it's name...

ChongQing No 1 ~ Eating World Food Court - Chinatown
Chongqing style food strikes into Eating World, bringing a world of spicy noodles, twice cooked pork and hot and sour soups with it. And a touch of very fragrant intestines.

Pamana ~ Filipino - Chatswood
Pamana is Filipino food designed for feasting. Move over Chinese BBQ, Chatswood just got a new contender for best crispy pork on the north side.

Hsin Shih Tang ~ Taiwanese - Chinatown
Taiwanese beef noodle soup gets further established in Chinatown with the opening of Hsin Shih Tang. This hearty beef broth and noodles with a sprinkle of pickled mustard greens should be on your noodle soup slurping list.

Supermarkets of Mystery - Super Bubur ~ Indonesian
While Super Bubur could be the name of an Indonesian super hero, we prefer to think of it as a super snack. Could it rival Indo Mie as the emergency lunch of choice?

Oden House ~ Taiwanese - Chinatown Fringe
Oden House has changed quite a bit since we last did a post on it. They've ditched oden from the menu but kept the name, now they focus on Taiwanese streetwise classics - bentos, soups, breakfast and of course a bit of fried chicken.
[UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2016 - ODEN HOUSE HAS MOVED TO SUSSEX CENTRE FOOD COURT - SEE HERE)

BBQ 2Nite ~ Traditional Pakistani Barbecue - Newtown
As we are inner city wankers we often fall under the belief that we need to travel to the outer suburbs of Sydney to get good food. But what happens when something great, something we would brave the public transport system for, opens right up the road from us? We rejoice.

Face2Face ~ Chinese - Dixon House Food Court, Chinatown
We're heading off to Chongqing later in the year so it's great to warm up on some of it's famously fiery cuisine at Face2Face Chongqing Spicy Noodles in Dixon House Foodcourt.

Podomoro Indonesian Restaurant ~ Chinatown, Sydney
We've never quite recovered from the closure of Chinatown's Cafe Joy. It left a gaping Indonesia shaped hole in our hearts. Podomoro to the rescue - around the corner and a couple of years later - it's every bit of the Kingsford-in-Chinatown resto we were hoping for.
