Bought myself a Smoker last weekend, once i season it and get some quality wood, Hickory and apple im looking for. I will be doing ducks, a Pulled pork and some Italian snags over the xmas break and then I'll invite my SAU fave restaurant buddies over

FYP

Oh Terry there's so much good Chinese food out there it could be a fulltime job.....oh wait =D

don't open your big mouth. only tell your trusted friends who you want to feed well.

actually, open it, because then they might reopen their west ryde place that burnt down/up a month ago - that's the reason I haven't had it for ages, because I live in hornsby and bankstown (original store) is WAY TOO FAR for me - so west ryde was PERFECT, obviously until it burnt down. so sad.

so yezz.. I went to hot rocks.. turns out I've been there a few times hahaha... I looked up the address and was like I swear I've been there...

Yes the chicken is more moist, yes the tum (garlic sauce) is better, but the pickles... err... lol.... I do however rate it

My mate also ordered a chicken roll ontop of his 1/2 chicken.. and FUARK they add chips into the roll, winner wiiner chicken dinner

[darksky34]

YES johnny hot rocks are total winners at EVERYTHING! chips in the garlic sauce is THE BOMB...i could eat that and nothing else HAHA.

and yes the pickles are errrrrrrrrrr i never touch them, feels like a waste but seriously they're so salty, would rather have fresh cucumber or something UNPICKLED.

[CLNSKY]

I think that's the taouk wrap with chips in it haha... Man wrap + 1/2 chicken that's beast at hot rocks. I can barely even finish a wrap alone lol.

Hot rocks #1 but far out... gonna go this weekend i hope .. best food ever lol

Is that a plan forming chris?

[darksky34]

[chindodood]

[chindodood]

Hooters. Boobs. Ass. Nacho Burger and UFC

Ribs and Rumps in Manly is awesome if you want a massive steak/ribs meal.

Aubergine on DeeWhy beach does a good menu, Tuesday's is $30 for 3 courses. Pretty cheap.

Braza at Newport is awesome all the time. Chronic meat sweats ensure shortly after though.

I went to Hot Rocks in West Ryde with the GF but we found the place was shut and had its windows boarded up. A quick Google search revealed the place was heavily fire damaged in October 2012. Looks like it will be closed for some to come.

I guess we'll have to head to the one in Bankstown to see what all the fuss is about - I don't see how it could be better than El Jannah (as good as, maybe; better? we'll see) but I'm looking forward to being proven wrong.

i'm fairly sure we've mentioned why it's better. but to update you:

1. chicken is marinated

2. chicken is not burnt

3. garlic sauce is better

4. for the west ryde store at least, it is MUCH CHEAPER than bankstown and el jannahs.

and yes they had a fire a while ago.

I've created a Google spreadsheet to record the restaurants mentioned.

I'm looking forward to trying out some of the recommendations from this thread

Sounds good.

their pickles aren't as nice as El Jannahs though....

Union-Tapas in Union Lane Penrith.

Top Portuguease-Spanish fare

upper-middle cost

service & quality 8/10

[SiNNO]

Any Thai fans here should try 'Authentic Thai Delight' in Fairfield.

Me and the GF usually go to this place, and it never dissapoints!

[FordyR31]

Anyone travelling over Bells Line and finds themsleves in Kurrajong Heights at meal time should go to the pub. Just had a really good steak there tonight. Best pub food around.

[chindodood]

we should make meet n greet with dinner event!!

thought to revive this thread with a great charcoal chicken place i frequent;

Charcoal House Cafe

Shop 5, 1 Hill End Rd

DOONSIDE, NSW, 2767

corner of Hill End Rd and Doonside Crescent

http://www.truelocal...e-cafe/doonside

$21.00 gets you a whole chicken, pickles, garlic sauce, family chips and bread - and best of all theres no charge to eat in, great place to be if u a.] can tollerate doonside and b.] like peace and quiet when you eat

i always up-size the pickles and garlic sauce to the family size and grab an extra bag of bread, total cost is still only $26

great small family business serving great food at a reasonable price - highly reccomended for anyone living out in the west

[darksky34]

not bad, not bad! curious, what's there to tolerate about doonside? Never been there before.
