Haven't been on SAU in a while but you guys should definately try these places. I know a thing or two about food (that's why i'm now on a strict low carb diet to loose at least 20kg for my wedding in November).

For Chinese: Kirawee Chinese is the best by a mile. A bit pricey at around $17-$22 a plate at dinner but their servings are easily double the size of other chinese places. Trust me it is awesome and up until recently I go out 3 or 4 times a week for dinner.

Italian: It is between Sapore in Lichardt and Carusos at Gymea and La Cucina in Menai. All three are awesome.

Thai: Best place by far and I think I have tried almost every Thai place around (thai is my favourite food ever!!! when living in Europe there were no Thai restraunts so my fiance and I learnt how to make thai food out of desperation) and my suggestion is Tung Tong Rung in Pennant Hills.

Japanese: Belive it or not I find the best Japanese place is downstairs in Castle Towers, not sure what it's called but it is the one between Subway and the kebab shop. Apparently Eastwood is great for Jap and korean but I haven't tried them yet.

Vietnames: Cabramatta, doesn't really matter which one you go to they are all good.

Seafood: By a mile the Sheraton on the Park oposite Hyde Park in the city. $100 per person but well worth it. Again up until recently I went there at least once a week.

German/Austrian: Essen restaurant on Parramatta road in between Broardway shopping centre and the big UTS building, good value as well.

Contempory Australian/International: Can't remember the name even though i've been a zillion times, but it is in the rocks near the Park Hyat, between park hyat and the shipping terminal.

Now I have to go through and read other peoples suggestions for more ideas on where to go to once this bloody diet is over.

Down the road from my work. I go with work friends pretty much once a week, the waitress knows us hahaha. Big servings! FYI if anyone is searching on a map, it's on the corner of Broadway and Wattle St.

My Jap fixes, I try to avoid places ran by Koreans:

- KURA 1/2/3 around the CBD

- Mappen on George

- GONSHU ramen on York (I think it's better than Gumshara)

- Sukura on Pitt (good small place for dinner)

- Musashi on the corner of Capitol Sq (good in groups)

Who's tried Sydney's Wings and Things? I keep seeing tasty pics come on on facebook and how come I can't find their address?

eastwood is not well known for japanese food, only korean and chinese. the few japanese restaurants there are not authentic japanese restaurants.

I like the new Viet place that opened up - There pork chop and tomato rice is one of the betters ones ive had, And for only $8 you cant go wrong :)

Agree with above and darksky that the best genuine Japanese restaurants are in Sydney CBD - akin to the Ginza.

Crows Nest comes 2nd!

For those that work in Sydney CBD there is an "International Foodcourt" on George St almost directly opposite Wynyard station. Lots of very cheap asian places (e.g. vietnamese pork rolls for $4, rice paper rolls 3 for $4 - prawn, beef, or chicken) and a nice (although somewhat limited menu) sushi train. Very small sushi train, I believe the chef is Japanese, and they're a bit cheaper than other sushi trains in the City.

^ you mean Hunter Connection? that place is bawse... looks dirty as fuark, not once have I had the runs

I just Googled it and yep that is the place :) Looks dirty but I've never had problems with it either.

I miss working around the city, I'm in a shitty part of town now.. Slurry Hills... geez there are so many weirdos and junkies, but occasionally you see teh secky ladies

yeah that place is pretty good too, still has the opening special of 20% off even though they opened what, nearly 2 years ago?

i think the sushi place you're talking about MAY have closed recently. if we're talking about the same one.

eating world food court on dixon st is also pretty good food, dirty smelly and i even use their chopsticks/forks/spoons (but you really gotta be careful sometimes they're still greasy ewwww fark) and i've never been sick YET.

please, you should be loving the 5$ coffees from cats poops and i duno, artisan sourdough white flour sprinkled bread, and the 20$ burgers with gourmet lettuce and home grown tomatoes???

I enjoyed the Masuya group of Japanese restaurants when I was in Sydney. Musashi, Makoto (1 of them is a sushi train and other is a bar... forgot which is which) and Masuya (restaurant) are all in the CBD area.

I haven't been there in a couple of months so I'm not sure. If it has closed down then that's a shame.

There's also a ripper Asian foodcourt in Haymarket - Dixon House Food Court. Cheap and dirty food, but tastes sensational. There is one place in particular (I think it's a 'sizzling plate restaurant' or something like that) that gives mountainous portions - but be warned: they make their food HOT with a capital F!

Do I look like some hipster? I don't own a Vespa and have milkcrates in my living room.. I own Skyline, and give no two fuarks about global warming :yes:

Ahh Kura, haven't been in a while, good karage chicken.

Dixon House lol cheap cheap. Never got sick from eating there, so it must be half decent.

Surry Hills person, tried El Loco?

Hello niZmO person LOL

yeah I go there sometimes, but I miss the dirty ling long food at dixon, hunter, chinatown etc.. I do sometimes trek to haymarket for a dirty feed.

El Loco is pretty hipster too

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
