Mamak

Posted by krishym 9 February 2010

This Malaysian roti and satay establishment may have a queue forming outside from the moment it opens but it's worth the wait. The freshly made rotis and Malang styled curries are spicy, authentic and ultimately, delicious.

Piccolo Bar

Posted by krishym 9 February 2010

This cafe is hidden away on a leafy street in Kings Cross. The Italian owner, Vittorio, loves to chat and laugh along with the clientelle and the coffee is superb.

travelling by train

Posted by smedley1975 6 January 2010

It's really cheap and easy to stretch your legs or walk about while travelling rather than a coach or car.

Big Bite on Pitt

Posted by pottig 29 December 2009

This is THE place to buy a monster sandwich in Sydney.

It's set back from Pitt Street in a small arcade. You'll recognise it by the huge queue out of the door and down the street. The sandwiches are huge - more than enough to keep you going for an entire day. The lemon chicken comes very highly recommended. We only found out about it from a friend who lives in Sydney. It seems that everyone that goes is a regular and is greeted by name on arrival. If I'm in Sydney again and hungry at lunchtime, I'll be back...

The only downside - just a couple of seats in the window. Best to take your haul elsewhere to munch.
