Your Favourite Restaurant's In Sydney

[sydking]

you sir, i believe, from memory, have just been to shanghai memory which yes as you said, is run by the son of the owners of night shanghai. it's slightly better looking and a TINY bit more spacious, but barely more so...anyway not complaining, cos as you said the food is JUST AS GOOD (sometimes even better?)

new shanghai is A DIFFERENT company/restaurant (like kfc and red rooster). night shanghai is daddy (like burger king and hungry jacks).

edit:oh and you know what, now that i mentioned companies + restaurants, it makes me think of the fact that in most cases when restaurants are owned/opened/backed by a 'company' the wankiness and therefore price jumps up. i love how most asian foods (barring a percentage of japanese) is free from such wankery

edit 2: ie; MS.G's, Mr.Wong's etc etc.

Yes, shanghai memory was the one, there i was thinking i was at night shanghai the whole time haha - None the less, i cant wait to go back,

Ive been to Ms G's ect, Nothing that really stands out, Over priced food thats nothing special at all. Pay $15 for literally a bite size burger is NOT cool.

Give me a grubby, dingy place with good prices and food to match any day of the week- Some of the best places ive ever been to are the worst looking places you could imagine.

205 Liverpool Road, Ashfield

Ta

I've told Maria about it and she'd like to try!

Apparently this style of cooking is in S-W China near Tibet she says.

Wanna be 'the other woman'?

[Liz]

absolutely! Muslim Chinese!

It's my favourite food at the moment.

[JimmyRickard]

Anyone know some good places for lunch in the CBD?

I work around Pitt St Mall and every thing there is incredibly overpriced. But they have Mad Mex which is the tits.

[darksky34]

menya mappen is a japanese udon/soda bar (more of a bar than resto), with a don-version (rice bowls) next to it. cheap quick and very tasty, it's right next to george st cinemas so that should be pretty close to where you work?

google that, you will find a multitude of reviews (most if not all positive)!

the snag stand in westfield sydney is quite nice, but it, like all the other places in the food court, are a bit (s)wanky - i really can't justify paying 7-9$ for a hot dog.....

David Jones Food Hall is the ultimate classic!

Entry downstairs from Market St (between Castlereagh and Pitt)

About 10 choices.

[Liz]

My pick for the city.

The roast place in The cheap food court in westfields (under myer), go the roast lamb or chicken

Salad shop in the laneway next to the establishment

Verandah bar on Wednesday for a $10 schnitzel

The Japanese place on the corner of Pitt and market.

[JimmyRickard]

Thanks guys, I'll check them all out eventually! One place I have found is Big Bite on Pitt St. The biggest sanga you've ever seen for $10. The are f**kin massive and super tasty.

[sydking]

My pick for the city would have to Dixon house food court, Cheap, Tasty and a high turnover of food. What more do you want?

More so i love the feeling of walking underground into this gruby place like its some sort of 80's Hong Kong gangster film haha.

hahah, your not wrong mate!! I'd stick to golden century if it was up to me. But the wallet dosent permit. Pipi's in XO sauce and Garlic butter lobster *drools*

[JimmyRickard]

All that good shit is on the other side of the city which sucks for me!

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Bau Truong in Canley Heights, the meanest Special Pork Chop Rice ever.. even my mates from Melbourne and all my Non-asian mates dig it!

TBH golden century is a premium price for a product you could get elsewhere for just as good but say half the cost.....namely hurstville, burwood, cabra, etc etc.

@jimmy , dude you're so close to hurstville/beverly hills they have heaps of good chinese restos, no need for the city!

yeah it's not that bad living around there.. it's changed a lot, low crime rates (now, minus that bikie shooting at that hall), good cheap food, cheap rent, etc..

Going to try a find a job in Parramatta instead of working in GayMont I mean Pyrmont. Spend over 1.25 hrs getting to work each way!

[ras1983]

Nonna Maria's in Parramatta has excellent home-made-style pasta for $12 eat in or $10 take away. The menu is limited and an old Italian man does all the cooking. Well worth a visit.

[GoldZilla]

Where in Parra is it, please Ray?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Nick, it's here:

From the outside it looks like a dodgy Italian restaurant/drug house from the movies LOL

I've driven past it a few times.. might try it out one day too
