Papa do… where’s mama?

So I heard new chicken shop opened up at cabramatta! So you know me. I had to check it out!! The reviews said it was going to be one of the best in the West for Korean fried chicken. So pumped. When I arrived at the venue it was kinda cool. Trendy with music and dimmed lighting. I went late at night as the store was about to close. The service was good and friendly. No complaints. We ordered the pulled beef brisket burger and brisket loaded fries with some original fried chicken with pho juice. When I tried the food I was really disappointed. The burger had no taste and it was cold. The loaded fries were soggy and cold as well. The chicken was super oily and had no flavour at all. The pho sauce was just weird. Maybe they had a bad night. Cause I’m reading through these reviews and a lot of people seems to like it. You win some. You lose some.

Chinese noodle house.

It may not have the best service or vibe or space. But man. It serves out the food quite quick. Gotta love my people! Delicious. Affordable. It’s a place where you enjoy some handmade dumplings and noodles with no fuss. Eat in and go out with a bang. It doesn’t empty your wallet if you’re in a budget. Guarantee you will go out with leftovers on your table. Always leaving too full! You can bring a group here but you’d be waiting. I would go here with 1 or 2 people for a good feed. My motto… you know it’s a good joint when it’s focus is on food with some old school traditional Chinese chefs. Go try it out and you will not be disappointed. I believe the owner, an old Chinese man will be playing the violin as you eat/wait. One of the best in Sydney!

Belly Bao in my Belly!!!

Baot time I visit this place! I heard a lot of good things about this place and glad they opened their own store in Newtown! Got greeted by a friendly waiter. Cool new Asian vibe when you enter with a slick clean bar. I ordered the bao burger with an extra Pattie, Loaded fries cause what is life without fries, cracking pork bao, deep fried golden gaytime bao and pandan balls! Oh maannnn it was good. Like everything… the burgers were juicy and succulent. The cheese melted in my mouth just the way I like it. Fries with Japanese curry reminds me of being in Japan. Crackling pork bao is a classic.. a bit too soft for my liking. Deep fried golden gaytime.. OMG enuf said. Last but not least the pandan balls! I freaking love it!! 4 out of 5!!!! Go visit!

Hakiki Turkish Gelato

Hmmm….. gelatos are one of my favourite desserts in the whole chain of dessert universe. This place is pretty cool. It actually feels like you are in Turkey while in Sydney. With Turkish beats and music in the background and decorations across the room. They serve tea and coffee traditionally in Turkish cups. Prices are reasonable.

So what I’ve noticed with the gelatos are the unique flavours. You will never find them anywhere else. I had the melon and feta cheese and Turkish delight. Yooooooooo legit… Turkish delight actually tastes like Turkish delight. Imagine creamy milky sticky Turkish delight in a gelato format. If you love Turkish delight this would blow your mind! The melon and feta was amazing as well. The melon flavour bursts in your mouth and the small pieces of feta tastes like jelly. Haha. It just works!! But of course you won’t really taste the cheese. Check it out if you are in Newtown and bored of Messina! Sorry Messina.
