Oriental Dumpling King ~ Chinese - Eating World, Chinatown

Dumplings are the current passion of the half-arsed Chinese restauranter. We've seen a bunch of Dumpling Kings and  Dumpling Houses open and fade away. These were pretty much Aussie-style Chinese restaurants with a few dumplings slapped amongst the banana fritters, cashing in on that dumpling fad that still lingers from a couple of years back. Because hey, even skinny white girls like dumplings. We wonder if the same people owned frozen yoghurt stores.

B-Kyu Cooks ~ Pinoy ginisang veggies - Filipino recipe

After a few trial runs, we hit on an easy recipe for a classic Filipino veggie dish that is a meal on it's own or a side dish. Making use of fresh crisp green beans and a basic trio of onion, garlic and tomato, this is a dinner winner.

Le Bintz ~ French - New Caledonia

Our first couple of meals on our recent trip to Noumea were good but we were hoping for some wow factor. We started wondering if we are overselling Noumea as a food-nerd destination. Then we find Le Bintz.

Shandeez Restaurant ~ Persian - Fairfield

What is it about Persian culture? We're novices on the subject, all we know is that every Persian restaurant in Sydney is run by super lovely folks and full of super cheery customers that make you feel welcome. Match that with lamb, the fluffiest rice on the planet, flat breads and salad, what's not to like?

We spot our blog on telly!

PappaRich ~ Malaysian, Ultimo Broadway

The first time we saw a PappaRich restaurant was in Malaysia, in the heart of KL. We wondered who on earth would want to eat in that cheesy-chainstore-y looking place when we're surrounded by street stalls and wonderful hole in the wall restaurants like Hussain Bistro Curry House? Not us. And not anyone else really, it was near empty whenever we walked by.

Supermarkets of mystery - Beksul Hotteok Mix ~ Korean

Korean street snacks don't get much sweeter and winter perfect than hotteok, a pancake filled with sugar and chopped nuts. When we saw a make at home box, we fired up the griddle and got flipping.

Kiroran Silk Road Uygur Restaurant ~ Chinese \ Central Asian

Where do you feed a party made up of a gluten intolerant gym junkie, a bullshit intolerant diabetic, a pork intolerant student who really just wants chips, and two pretentious ethno food nerds? Oh, and it's got to be cheap and filling, there's some big eaters amongst us.

Jinweigu Food ~ Chinese - Campsie

Pasalubong Oriental Foodmart ~ Mascot - Filipino

Pasalubong Oriental Foodmart has been trucking out Filipino groceries for some time. It's these small places that hide the good stuff, let it be hidden no more.

Taiwan Soul Food ~ Taiwanese - Chinatown Fringe

A bucket of burnies please.

Dear Cafe ~ Vietnamese - Newtown

At the top of King St, Vietnamese joint Dear Cafe is fighting against the Thai cheap and cheerful dominance of Newtown.
