    Just went to 3 of 5 this week, it was fantastic. This is my first time in Australia and I had no idea what to eat. The Banh mi place was excellent, never had one so delicious compared to where I'm from, we actually bought it again (they open 06:30) to take with us to the airport today and the server was so kind and even remembered us. The HSP was incredible. The Indian home diner was so tasty. Mark, super mahalo and domo for making this video as we can't thank you enough. Sydney was an incredibly beautiful, friendly, clean, and safe place loved every minute of it.

      ​@@Quixotic-IX I've also been to everyone many times, except for the Chinese Noodle place. They are well known. Everyone knows Marrickville Pork Roll has the best in Sydney and they are amazing, worth a 30-45 min drive if you have that craving for reference there are many quality Banh Mi places in Sydney due to a large Vietnamese diaspora, however I think this is still the best after many year. El Jannah turned from that original location into a food Chain spreading across Australia, it used to be better before it expanded, its lowered its quality to appeal to the masses but its still great. They are what made the Lebanese Chicken to be as famous as it is now, a true Sydney institution. Halal Snack packs are bread and butter fast food, we have many kebab shops in Sydney however I am not sure the one he visited would be in the top 10 in Sydney, none the less the experience is real. The late night Indian kebab is near our large Cricket Stadium, it is a must have after all day on the beers watching cricket, one of the best drunken snacks you can eat and is an Sydney Institution. All are legit.

    Hi Mark, I lived in China for 6 years, before moving to Bangkok. Every night after work I'd have hand-made noodles. The guys usually from North West China, would mix a sack of flour with yeast and water to ferment / grow overnight. Each portion was cut from the large slab and turned into noodles. It's something that entertained me every evening without fail. They turned a lump of dough with hand pressure and stretching plus a little flour / olive oil from large pipes into thin great tasting noodles in a few minutes. I miss them. Best wishes from Bangkok.

      All his videos showing off Australia have been incredibly below par and a complete disservice to the country.
      That travel vlogger / guide he was with had no idea of foods outside of places shes visited before, and showed nothing of substance.
      Come on man.
      This wasn't a food tour, this was chicken, some basic chinese food and a HSP.
      Hardly cheap also. Ordering close to the city.
      Guy has no idea.
      You haven't been to Australia yet you comment " I hope people realize you can’t cover everything when you visit but you always manage to show the best of the best of what the country has to offer."

The food scene there is nothing special (even in France) and the limited flavour profiles and lack of spices gets boring very quickly. The food in Sydney (and Australia) is on another level compared and I couldn't wait to dig into some proper food when I returned to Australia. We have so much variety here and unlike Europe, the original flavours are not bastardised or watered down for the locals.

      The extremely high quality ingredients, hugely diverse population, and (to be honest) the fact we didn't have any recession and are affluent enough to eat out/travel a lot so are quite discerning has led to seriously high quality food of pretty much every variety. Like, if you picked just ONE cuisine, its possibly done better in its home country - but only just - but the point is you can say that about any cuisine which makes us so unique.
