Yi's Kitchen ~ Chinese - Hunter Connection Food Court, City

Having eaten our way through all of Chinatown's foodcourts, we journey to a distant land where only office workers dare tread: the Hunter Connection Food Court.

Pho Sam Noodle House ~ Vietnamese - Epping

We find ourselves in Epping with time and tummy rumbles to kill. We sniff around both sides of the train line to find something sufficiently shabby for our discerning tastes.

Kimchi & Sushi House ~ Korean - Dixon House Food Court, Chinatown [CLOSED]

It's official: we have discovered the nicest people in the whole world. They make a mean bibimbap too. [CLOSED - NOVEMBER 2012]

Melbourne's Chinatown ~ It's Grouse

Street Food loiters around Melbourne's Chinatown. With intent. And noodle soup.

Noumea Part 1/2 ~ Snack-o-rama!

We explore the unique mashup  of French, Melanesian and Asian cuisines in New Caledonia

Hana Hana ~ Japanese - Chinatown

Hana Hana is a new Japanese noodle bar in Chinatown that fans of Menya Mappen should check out.

Twisted Noodle Bar ~ Chinese - Chinatown

Twisted Noodle Bar is another case of "I've walked past here a zillion times and never thought to try it." But on a wintery afternoon the thought of a big hot bowl of noodle soup beckoned Mr Shawn off the street like a Scientologist with a clipboard.

Supermarkets of Mystery ~ Chowpatty Bhel

We tried Bhel recently at Tamanas in Newtown. As part of their range of Chaat, or street snacks, it was a new taste for us and one we want to explore more.

Ramen Kan ~ Japanese - Chinatown

We wonder if half the fun of Ramen Kan in Chinatown is getting there. Heading up to the first floor through a dodgy entry and a battered old lift feels subversive, it's so secret Sydney. 

Yok Yor Thai Food Factory ~ Thainatown / City South

Yok Yor is another of the handful of excellent Sydney Thai restaurants that cater for a mainly Thai crowd. We drop in for a quick bite, we like it so much we return nine more times. And there's still plenty of menu to explore.

Pho Viet ~ Vietnamese - Cabramatta

We hit Cabramatta for a healthy lunch of soup, rice and bull's penis.

Kozy Korean Barbecue ~ City / Haymarket

You want food in laneways? Don't wait for the hipsters, get out and find yourself a back alley near George St and there will be a Korean joint already waiting for you.

It's Hip to Be Square - Box Hill, Melbourne

With a whole spare day in glorious Melbourne to do absolutely whatever he wants, Mr Shawn heads for the boondocks of Box Hill.

Thai Time Express ~ Broadway Food Court [Closed]

If you're in Broadway and after a quick, cheap Thai feed with a difference than Thai Time Express is worth a shot. 

[CLOSED]

Time Machine Blogging

Alison takes a trip down memory lane after finding a stack of old photos and discovers the street food obsession goes long and deep.

Pho Toan Thang ~ Vietnamese \ Chinese - Homebush West

Sydney restaurants where people love to queue #53:  Pho Toan Thang in West Homebush \ Flemington.

Japanese Cooking With Dog ~ It's Not What You Think

A quick plug for our current favourite Youtube show, Cookingwithdog, hosted by Frances the poodle.  It combines three of our favourite things: dogs, Japanese food and tops Japanese ladies.  Recipes are easy to follow and Frances' narration is Zen-like calming...

Noodles Your Way ~ Taiwanese - World Square, City

Noodles Your Way = Noodles Our Way...

Gia Hoi on George Street has become our go-to joint for a noodle soup cure. 

Mithu's Restaurant ~ Sri lankan & Indian - Homebush West

We begin stomach preparations for our Sri Lanka trip later this year at Mithu's Restaurant in Homebush West \ Flemington.

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 7 ~ Islands in the Stream

On our last day we do a lap of some favourites and seek an audience with the king of the roasters, Kenny.

Caysorn Thai ~ Chinatown

Caysorn does Thai food for Thai folks, and everyone else. Highly recommended for southern Thai specialities and some great desserts.

Iraqi Kabab ~ Auburn

We set off to have Filipino food for lunch and end up having Iraqi kebabs instead. Love this city.

Anna's Kitchen ~ Chinese - Dixon House Food Court - Chinatown [CLOSED]

The folks at Anna's Kitchen have a deft touch, the food falls somewhere in the middle of northern Chinese stodge and light, sweet southern stirfry. It's good simple food and just that little bit different. We love it.


[CLOSED JULY 2013]

Do Dee Noodle Bar ~ Thai - Bondi Junction

We stumbled on a great little Thai street food joint in the most unlikely of places, a food court in Bondi Junction, with million dollar views.

[LAST UPDATED SEPTEMBER 20120]

Kuala Lumpur Tour ~ Day 6

It's our last full day of the trip so we inflate our spare stomachs and get into some serious eating: Kedai Yut Kee, Nasi Ayam Chee Meng, Nasi Kandar and some Malay for dinner at Pasar Malam Kampung Baru.

Fat Bird Express Hainanese Chicken Rice ~ Singaporean/Malaysian - Dixon House Food Court, Chinatown [CLOSED]

We're all clucky about Fat Bird Express Hainanese Chicken Rice in Dixon House Food Court.

[CLOSED FEB\MARCH 2013]

Kuala Lumpur Tour Day 5

Imbi market morning, Port Klang midday adventure and a nighty-night satay and seafood feast.

Sabbaba ~ Israeli - Bondi

Sabbaba in Bondi, the original and the best.
