decided to go to HC Hawa (formerly Awafi) in Granville. Must say, their chicken is much better than El Jannahs, will definitely be going back.

and the garlic sauce? is that the one down the road from EJs?

the chicken, Chips, Sauce and EVERYTHING is better at HC Hawa

on the money there, and the chicken isn't as dry or salty.. not to mention you can eat in their cafe next door that does CAMPOS coffees.. super win :)

ended up going on sunday.

have to say their garlic sauce isn't as flavoursome as EJ/Hot rocks and so, falls to third place out of the 3, but their chicken is better than EJs by far, similar to Hot rocks. Chips, prob depends on the person making them but mine weren't crunchy enough nor fresh piping hot...both hot rocks and EJs win in this respect because you always get fresh hot chips. but the garlic sauce here is way cheaper than other stores!

overall pretty good. OH and their pickles are not super super salty, they were actually refreshing to put in the wrap with chicken for once!

The platters are definitely better at HC Hawa. Another one to try (not sure if it's been mentioned already) is La Mono in Merrylands. Cleaner than either HC Hawa and EJ, and you don't need to worry about getting stabbed/shanked/mugged (kind of ironic since La Mono is in Merrylands, lol). Keep in mind they are a bit more expensive than HC Hawa and EJ.

Another place I have heard of, but have not yet tried, is the Middle Feast. Apparently it's a new place. If anyone has been there I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Degustation

Exxy but great eating when your pockets are full and you're ready to celebrate.

The following are all exquisite but my rankings are...

1) Quay at Circular Quay

2) Tetsuya at Sydney

3) Waqu at Crows Nest

4) Sabatini's on Golden Princess Liner - sorry about that.

5) Ashcroft at Blackheath

6) Como at Blaxland

Yup > Best Thai yet!

* Barramundi in lime and lemongrass 9/10

* Prawns in red curry sauce 8/10

* Crisp Pork Belly 8.5/10

* Soft shell crab with mango salad 8/10

Hint:- Ask for a side bowl of coriander for sprinkling

Thanks Kat :)

I once had a compulsive eating patient who said, "I don't want to go to heaven unless they have pork crackle up there!" hehe...

Crispy Pork Belly at Chedi yes - recommend!

Quan ( one of the partners ) was funny.

He tried to convince us that we'd ordered too much > cut down on the order Lol

I've not done a degustation since I'm a bit fussy with wine and I fear some of it (especially the reds) are a bit lost on me.

My fave restaurant in Canberra does one though and they also do some pretty epic tapas. I usually have a few wines and ask the owner to "Bring me food" and he just brings out awesomeness. I've been going there a while, he lets me behind the bar sometimes to serve my own drinks :D

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
