Hi, pretty new to sau, but always keen to try all types of food.

Anyway, here's my current top list:

Bodega in surry hills- great Argentinian tapas style food. Flavours work well. $70 for 10 course tapas, dessert and wine. Need to book in advance.

Penrith bbq chicken- one of the best grilled chickens ive ever had. I had it served on a bed of jasmine rice and garlic sauce. It was moist and flavoursome, not dry like el jannahs. The best post workout meal!

Penrith seafood wetherill park- salmon sashimi. It's just very fresh and cut into nicely balanced bite size portions. Hard to explain, but it feels like you have the right amount of fish in your mouth which you can then chase with their seaweed salad and rice.

^ have you tried HC Hawa, down the road from El Jannahs? Their chicken is nicer!

Really? i'll have to give it a go some time

I had some food from Penrith Seafood in Wetherill Park, well worth the money.

Right on!

What are some exotic things you guys have eaten?

My trip to Thailand was the first time I've tried crickets and grubs from a street vendor. Tasted ok. It was heavily coated in some stir fry flavours. Couple days later i got sick from eating normal food. go figure lol

Also had fried Tarantula in Cambodia while touring and visiting family. It was pretty much like soft shell crab. yumm

Offal is nothing new to me. Pretty much a staple part of my diet lol

I haven't managed to go through the whole thread but;

Indonesian: Ayam Goreng 99... Must have... 10/10...

taste and all is good, but in terms of value, not the best. quite a small plate of fried noodles.

The fiancee and I went there earlier this year. How random that an SAUer owns the place! We had the lamb rack of ribs and a side dish (can't remember what it was) and absolutely loved the food. A definite thumbs up.

Ok, so I went to Momof*ku Seiobo last night with the missus at The Star Casino.

I got the 11 course degustation with half paired wine. The missus got the full juice pairing. Both matched well to our cuisine.

Their menu changes daily, but the standouts were:

Steamed pork bun with sriracha chilli- very soft and airy bun with a decadent piece of pork and hoi sin sauce

Wagyu beef with raddish- nicely cooked with a salted black bean sauce to coat all over

Blood sausage with roasted mushroom- Bloody excellent play on flavours here (pun intended) with a flavoursome sauce

I forget the rest. If you can justify the $185 per head plus $65 half paired wine, then its a goer.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
