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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
