I really enjoyed this journey through Chinatown, and I must say that it has more appeal at night with the lights. Paddy's Market has always been underwhelming for me as a local and especially now as it undergoes a renovation. I don't think there's any comparison to Perth as they are two totally different cities, with each having its own appeal. I love Perth and think of it more as a beautiful country town with a relaxed and layed back atmosphere. Sydney is a much older and unplanned city with a much faster pace and a beautiful harbour in which to relax and slow down. I hope you will return in the future and visit other states and territories to really appreciate the beauty and vastness of Australia and the friendliness of its people. I like to think that no matter how far you travel and what beauty you find along the way, there is no place like home.
Lovely video nice to see loads of food stalls and having a good browse around the market will score both food reviews 8.1 out of 10 onwards my friends 👍😀
Should've had half a dozen beers at the Covent Garden with us, Lee, before you tackled that food court feed. No doubt both of those dishes would've scored a lot better with a skin full. It was a real joy to have had met you that day. Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job showing parts of Sydney to the world. I hope you come back again and see so much more one day.
Loving these videos of Sydney. Agree that the walk from Bondi to Coogee is worth the effort. Also another great choice for fish and chips would be Doyles at Watson Bay. They have a take away and Doyles on the beach is a great fish restaurant in the quality on your earlier visit to Garfish.
Good video Lee with so many choices you’re always gonna feel a little regretful. Can I suggest a pub crawl video, you rarely do them, but really liked your Nashville pub crawl 👍🏻
Thank you, Thank you for the videos with NO Music on. So refreshing to be able to hear the background noises and your voice. I loath the use of it on films and TV when it is louder than the voices that you so desparately want to hear. Why it has to be on all the time and so loud I do not know. Thank you again.
Love this style of filming the vlog Lee, just as you and not The MacMaster although saying that I love both. Great walk around Chinatown in Sydney. Maybe if you’d waited for you Chinese meal you would have got better. The Lemon chicken looked ok but like you said over battered. That peppered beef and onions looked more preferable. A nice cool refreshing beer afterwards. Paddy’s Market looked a bit hyped up for tourists more like parts of Oxford Street in London. Overall great video.
Spent 7 months in Glebe in '92 while backpacking. Chinatown was our place for cheap food and Bobbys kebabs and the Pie shop on Glebe Point Rd. Loved Sydney, lots of laughs and great memories.
New Tai yuen has been there since at least 1974. Always my favourite along with Marigold on Sussex Street but i dont know if its still there. Got to try Yum Cha which is normally from 11am.
We always go to the Dixon's House food court when we're in Sydney, cheap and tasty Chinese food, one of the stalls is always very busy, that's the one to head for 😏. It's in Chinatown and you enter it from Hay St or Dixon St. Well worth a visit.
Hard to go wrong round there Lee. Chinatown suffered hugely during the Covid lockdown but even today hasn't fully recovered ,maybe your video will bring them good luck and prosperity. There's also Flemington markets, Melbourne markets and Salamanca markets in Hobart - that's about as good as it gets, international tourists provides most their money. ❤
Yeah, Chinatown - other cuisines are available - is a lot bigger than Dixon St and Market City. I see so many vloggers never venture far from there. There is even a newer expansion to the west at Darling Square. You should have gone for Yum Cha. Get some of those chicken feet into you. The cost does add up if you aren't careful. And if anyone is wondering about the "Darling" name, as in Darling Harbour, it isn't anything to do with someones sweetheart, but General Sir Ralph Darling, who served as Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831.The indigenous name is 'Tumbalong', meaning a place where seafood is found. So, still a place for seafood, although a few more food options have been added to the menu since those days. Haymarket has been a market area since the 1820s. It was the main Sydney produce market, but that is now at Flemington. Paddy's was more of a local market for local people, but much more touristy now.
Great tour of the food around Chinatown but to be honest Lee, you were spoilt for choice there. To the average person like me, it all looked superb and the variety was amazing. It is one place i would visit more than any other if i was where you are now. You will look back on that choice you had once you get back to Britain and i can see you in the near future somewhere like Rochdale or maybe even Blackpool with Steve and you will be wishing you had that same choice. You will be forever referring to your trip down under and salivating at all the dishes that you did not try. .. Great video once again.
Another great video Lee, relaxing to watch, yes i do prefer these types of video, you get the atmosphere of the place. china town looked great, i actually liked that market as i would have been buying Sydney souvineers 😊
Hey hun I have enjoyed this vlog thank you for showing us around China town . in Sydney I love it wen its just you and no music . its more relaxed thank.you ❤xxx
We love ur videos like that. It's so much more natural and interesting. It's just like we are walking round with you Lee. Thankyou great entertainment.
Hi Lee, loved the video! Especially going into the market. Perth and Sydney, very different cities, different vibes. Sydney seems so crowded compared to Perth. Question: Did you buy the hat?
Good to see your having something different Lee 👍. Loving Sydney but at the moment Perth would get my vote. Sydney harbour looks lovely but the city centre, not so good. Looking forward to the next vlog.
LEE - if you think that's a lot of fruit and veg in one place then you be absolutely blown away by Flemington Markets on a Saturday morning - it's at least 10 times bigger - and there's a huge flea market there too.
Doesnt matter what style of video you do Lee, its the content that matters and yours is always top notch! im hungry again.. i wonder if you were anywhere near Oxford Street on saturday night? hmmm 😊
Go down into the historic “ Rocks” area Lee, near the “;Overseas Passenger Terminal “ ( the Sydney Cruise Ship terminal, in Circular Quay). It’s the site of the 1st convict settlement, and has lots of little laneways that lead to some great eateries. Also while there, check out Sydney’s oldest Pub, “ The Fortune of War” Hotel in George St. The food there is great.
Too late he left Sydney some time last week. Unfortunately, too much time wasted filming fish and chips and Chinese menus rather than what’s really on offer.
Maybe Sydneysider, stop yer moaning like an old bloke and watch tomorrow's video and you'll see I went to the Rocks!!!! Remind me not to invite you to a party. LOL x
@@TheMacMaster Oi! Just saw this. Am neither a moaner, old or a bloke. Was just wanting you to get the full experience. Oh well, too late now. Still lovely and sunny, 30C here tomorrow ;)
Where you ate is my favourite restaurant I love their Hot and Spicy Chicken (No.46) while you were eating the chef was sat behind you and kept looking at you great video we love visiting Sydney chinatown when we leave our home in Nelson Bay for a few nights away
I suppose you could ask them to cook you a less spicy version. Or just pick a less spicy menu item. I have eaten in that food court before, but not from the shop.
A lot of tat in market but great wander Lee, enjoying your explore, can't remember the name there's a iconic fun park ,nr harbour bridge with a famous clown graphic,nr darling harbour,might be worth a sticky beak
As you like food courts you should try the one in Perth its in the shopping mall between Murry and Hay St and get out of the city for a day up to Perth hills and go for a proper bush walk.
Mix it up Lee it's refreshing. Loved the video. Obviously catching up with you, you have numerous answers to the 99 flake question. Take care see you soon 😊❤🍦🍻
Oh Lee, you have no idea how big of a mistake it was to miss out on getting some of those Emperor's Cream Puffs that you walked past. Any local will be happy to tell you just how delicious they are and CHEAP.
It's 9.00am when I'm watching this and now I'm ready for lunch after seeing those menu's lol.I never could manipulate those damn chopsticks so kudos to you. I was a constant embarrassment to my missus when we went to China. Another good vid mate.
Obviously Paddy's markets are under renovation with all that cyclone fencing up. You didn't go upstairs more levels of shops, factory clearance etc restaurants and a foodcourt.
@@TheMacMasterHe is a very busy man up most of the night editing all the vlogs that he has done . gets about 3 or 4hours kip and keeps working . never stops xx❤x
This vlog is brilliant old school mcmaster vlogs having a good mooch around as Geoff Carter says really enjoyed this vlog can't believe you didn't go and try Lee's Dumplings 😂😂❤
Another great vlog Lee 🙌 I'm playing catch up, I've got loads of vlogs to catch up on 🤦♂️ Regarding your ice cream 🍦 question, I'm sure it's something to do with the king of Italy having 99 bodyguards?
There is a reason that the English pound appears to be more valuable than the Australian dollar, it goes back to when our currency was changed. In Australia the 1pound became 2 dollars, the reason being that 1 shilling became 10c and was closer to matching the original values. Also the $2 coin is smaller than the $1 coin because the $1 came out first and it was better to make a smaller thick coin than a bigger thin one.
I remember OK sauce as a brown table sauce in a similar style and packaging to HP, there was Daddies sauce too which also showed up on the table from time to time when I was a kid.
As a Brit who emigrated to Sydney and now Briz 19 years ago, I’m enjoying this series. China town is fine but prefer Thai town and glad to see you stumbled across it. Thai food is much cheaper and better here than in the UK probably due to the large number of thai people and restaurants.
Thai food tends to require fresh tropical and subtropical plants in it. Which is easily grown in areas like Brisbane, not so much the case in the UK I bet ;).
Authentic Chinese batter is made differently than the batter we use for fish. I have found that when you are eating something a little bit spicy, you need to eat the rice with it to help with the heat. If that is not enough, you need some milk to take away the burn.
Some of the food there looked divine. And then there was the brains and tripe 😂 I thought your chicken and beef didn't look too bad at all. And credit to you for eating with chopsticks.
I have eaten lamb's brain 🐑 Towards the end of the 80s, I was an apprentice chef at a hotel where we served lamb's brain as a night snack at a wedding. Of course I had to taste. It was a special texture but tasted good. Another great video 👍👌
Paddy market is where you save money and you will find your fridge magnets cheaper than in George street.I tried the chicken feet it was ok..You see loads of boomerangs here in the charity shops hilarious.i think you were right to eat from there..great portions..looks Gert lush.Another great video fond memories of being there a year ago and 20 odd years before that..
Great video Lee if you get a chance visit a place called noodle canteen it's Chinese food 😊it's really nice it's a chain fast food place we have it in new zealand and Australia
Spice Alley in Sydney is great , it's a small hawker style area for eating , good for curry and also all types of Asian food. It's in Kensington street Sydney
Great episode. You made a rookie mistake eating in a food hall rather than more authentic little shops. Amazing how much Chinatown in Sydney looks like the one in Soho. 😂
@Gothic55 rubbish I've had some great food from food halls you have to be discretional as Lee was same as from the little authentic shops had crap and great. What he got looks great
The building where you checked out the menu at "Spicy Joint" has a big food court on the bottom floor (you passed the "Eating World" sign when you entered). I used to visit that place almost daily when I was a student back in the day as there was a load of variety down there amongst all the different outlets and it was relatively cheap (by CBD standards anyway). One of the best places for Chinese food in Sydney is probably the suburb of Chatswood (about 25 minutes by train on the North Shore Line from the city, just down the road a few miles from that Garfish seafood restaurant you visited in Crows Nest), as heaps of Chinese live there so the restaurants tend to be really good & the food genuine rather than "touristy".
Never heard of a 99! 🤷♀️ My favourite in China town is "Chinese Noodle restaurant" in Thomas Street, Haymarket. Great food, quite popular. If you do go there must try their braised sticky eggplant which they're known for, even if you don't usually like eggplant(which I don't), it's surprisingly good! Crisp on outside and melts on inside. And has a slightly sweet taste. The cream puffs you showed earlier in the vid are infamous around Sydney. Tasty and very cheap. Thai is nice but Vietnamese is probably my favourite. Always feels fresh and cleaner not greasy like some other Asian and south Asian cuisines. Love Vietnamese pancakes - banh xeo. Vietnamese Pho is also popular in Sydney. But the most popular Vietnamese food and a Sydney staple at this point is Banh Mi. The classic "pork roll" is the most popular one. And very filling but cheap eat for Sydney. $6-9 depending where you go. Plenty of places do them but Marrickville pork roll is the OG, authentic and tasty. There's one in loftus lane in Sydney city and Steam mill lane in Haymarket (so in the China town area, I think you may have even gone past it in the vid). I hope you get to try one before you leave. I've mentioned before but" Spice Alley" is great too as it has several SE Asian cuisines all in the one place. And the outdoor seating with the lanterns makes you feel like you're in an SE Asian country eating street food, great vibe. Definitely recommend. It's a short walk from central station.
Lee that is one of the best to food courts to go to. I ate at that same place last year, it was the best and heaving with customer orders, Great Choice. Hope to see ya in Perth randomly if possible;e, haha
Roast Duck and Rice - never go wong.. The Kebabs looked great.. Please confirm whether some Oz food places also say cash only (avoid taxes) or card acceptable
Two dishes each with a bowl of rice! Where do you put it all? Either one of the dishes you had with one bowl of rice would be plenty for me but there again I'm only 5'7" and 10½ stone! This evening I had homemade chilli con carne with chilli tagliatelle and could only manage two thirds of it and put the rest in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch.
Chinatown food is very trustworthy. It's best to eat in the food halls where the Chinese go to eat, like Sussex Court, always good. I've eaten there many times. so that's true. The pepper steak is excellent, but remember to have a drink handy. Nine Dragons in particular is excellent. Paddys is very useful for a wide selection of just about everything. and for tourists, not all that expensive and the quality is pretty good for clothes like cotton. Actually, that's a bit quiet for Paddys. Might be doing a renovation or reorganizing. Chinatown is also good for proper Chinese groceries.
My experience of Thai and Chinese restaurants, Thais usually make everything from fresh but Chinese cut corners and use frozen or tinned ingredients. Genuine Thai is usually better but more expensive. Not all Chinese do this and many are great if it’s done fresh
Yeah they also tip uneaten rice back into the main container in the kitchen and re sell it ...and don't think they don't.. they do in a lot of places ...it's money to them
Time for you to step it up on the Chinese food, video suggestion, head over to the Ritz Cinema in Randwick for a daytime movie, then over to Coogee Beach for some fish n chips.
I hail from Sydney and will be in Chinatown soon. I remember it in " The Old Days", your video has helped me a lot to get a new focus. Thanks.
Have really enjoyed this Australian series - great work! ❤
Loving your walkabout vlogs , great seeing China Town and paddy's Market, keep these vlogs lee 😊
Another great vid Lee - it really feels like I am there with you! Keep 'em coming. Looking forward to the next one. Onward my friend.......😁👍🧠

This is an excellent vid for my family and I , as we are off to Sydney around Christmas 2024
You will enjoy your trip in my hometown of Sydney!! Chinatown is great, so is Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, and The Rocks!!
New Tai yuen has been there since at least 1974. Always my favourite along with Marigold on Sussex Street but i dont know if its still there. Got to try Yum Cha which is normally from 11am.
Nah he’s more of a food court type of tourist. Not an adventurous palate.
They had Bulls Pen*s on the menu perfect for you Sydneysider

Hey Lee, next time you see a 'FOR LEASE' sign grab a marker pen and write NAVIDAD underneath 😎
The guy in the background scoffing his rice 😂😂
He is eating rice in the traditional Chinese manner, which looks strange to us.
Really enjoying your visit to Sydney
Another great video Lee, relaxing to watch, yes i do prefer these types of video, you get the atmosphere of the place.
china town looked great, i actually liked that market as i would have been buying Sydney souvineers 😊

Good video mate glad you tried different food looked nice

Hi Lee, loved the video! Especially going into the market. Perth and Sydney, very different cities, different vibes. Sydney seems so crowded compared to Perth.
Question: Did you buy the hat?
Good to see your having something different Lee 👍.
Loving Sydney but at the moment Perth would get my vote.
Sydney harbour looks lovely but the city centre, not so good.
Looking forward to the next vlog.
When we are in Sydney this is the food court that we always eat at. It would probably one of the better places to eat good food at reasonable prices.
LEE - if you think that's a lot of fruit and veg in one place then you be absolutely blown away by Flemington Markets on a Saturday morning - it's at least 10 times bigger - and there's a huge flea market there too.
TRUE, YOU MEEET THE growers and farmers as well...
Doesnt matter what style of video you do Lee, its the content that matters and yours is always top notch! im hungry again..
i wonder if you were anywhere near Oxford Street on saturday night? hmmm 😊
Wow! Such a selection of places to go Lee. Looked lovely. Spicy lol! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Love the casual format
thanks for the walk around china town Lee I must do that again soon no music for me
Go down into the historic “ Rocks” area Lee, near the “;Overseas Passenger Terminal “ ( the Sydney Cruise Ship terminal, in Circular Quay).

Spice Alley in Sydney is great , it's a small hawker style area for eating , good for curry and also all types of Asian food. It's in Kensington street Sydney
Well there is no Kensington Street in Sydney ---maybe in one of the suburbs
Highly recommend the food at Spice Alley, just a short walk away from paddys market on Broadway. Not in the China Town complex
Yeah, Spice Alley is a bang'n little spot for an awesome meal
Great episode. You made a rookie mistake eating in a food hall rather than more authentic little shops. Amazing how much Chinatown in Sydney looks like the one in Soho. 😂
@Gothic55 rubbish I've had some great food from food halls you have to be discretional as Lee was same as from the little authentic shops had crap and great. What he got looks great
The building where you checked out the menu at "Spicy Joint" has a big food court on the bottom floor (you passed the "Eating World" sign when you entered). I used to visit that place almost daily when I was a student back in the day as there was a load of variety down there amongst all the different outlets and it was relatively cheap (by CBD standards anyway). One of the best places for Chinese food in Sydney is probably the suburb of Chatswood (about 25 minutes by train on the North Shore Line from the city, just down the road a few miles from that Garfish seafood restaurant you visited in Crows Nest), as heaps of Chinese live there so the restaurants tend to be really good & the food genuine rather than "touristy".
Never heard of a 99! 🤷♀️
My favourite in China town is "Chinese Noodle restaurant" in Thomas Street, Haymarket. Great food, quite popular. If you do go there must try their braised sticky eggplant which they're known for, even if you don't usually like eggplant(which I don't), it's surprisingly good! Crisp on outside and melts on inside. And has a slightly sweet taste. The cream puffs you showed earlier in the vid are infamous around Sydney. Tasty and very cheap.
Thai is nice but Vietnamese is probably my favourite. Always feels fresh and cleaner not greasy like some other Asian and south Asian cuisines.
Love Vietnamese pancakes - banh xeo. Vietnamese Pho is also popular in Sydney.
But the most popular Vietnamese food and a Sydney staple at this point is Banh Mi. The classic "pork roll" is the most popular one.
And very filling but cheap eat for Sydney. $6-9 depending where you go. Plenty of places do them but Marrickville pork roll is the OG, authentic and tasty. There's one in loftus lane in Sydney city and Steam mill lane in Haymarket (so in the China town area, I think you may have even gone past it in the vid). I hope you get to try one before you leave.
I've mentioned before but" Spice Alley" is great too as it has several SE Asian cuisines all in the one place. And the outdoor seating with the lanterns makes you feel like you're in an SE Asian country eating street food, great vibe. Definitely recommend. It's a short walk from central station.
i prefer this type of blog

@@LeonardSmith-qv8do Sorry sir am I going to get detention lol
Hope you enjoyed your ‘food Safari’, Sydney. 😊
Roast Duck and Rice - never go wong.. The Kebabs looked great.. Please confirm whether some Oz food places also say cash only (avoid taxes) or card acceptable
Two dishes each with a bowl of rice! Where do you put it all? Either one of the dishes you had with one bowl of rice would be plenty for me but there again I'm only 5'7" and 10½ stone! This evening I had homemade chilli con carne with chilli tagliatelle and could only manage two thirds of it and put the rest in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch.
Chinatown food is very trustworthy. It's best to eat in the food halls where the Chinese go to eat, like Sussex Court, always good. I've eaten there many times. so that's true. The pepper steak is excellent, but remember to have a drink handy. Nine Dragons in particular is excellent. Paddys is very useful for a wide selection of just about everything. and for tourists, not all that expensive and the quality is pretty good for clothes like cotton. Actually, that's a bit quiet for Paddys. Might be doing a renovation or reorganizing. Chinatown is also good for proper Chinese groceries.
I like all your videos Lee, music or not, so a mix is a good idea. 👍
Relaxed style a winner in my book. All vlogs enjoyable.
My experience of Thai and Chinese restaurants, Thais usually make everything from fresh but Chinese cut corners and use frozen or tinned ingredients. Genuine Thai is usually better but more expensive. Not all Chinese do this and many are great if it’s done fresh
Yeah they also tip uneaten rice back into the main container in the kitchen and re sell it ...and don't think they don't.. they do in a lot of places ...it's money to them
Time for you to step it up on the Chinese food, video suggestion, head over to the Ritz Cinema in Randwick for a daytime movie, then over to Coogee Beach for some fish n chips.
Have a brillant time in Australia 🇦🇺
Duck Giblet Liver Blood Jelly Vermicelli Soup looked like a winner to me at Nanjing Dumplings, yum yum. A favourite of mine 🧐🥴
