Why the hell am I in Lidcombe?
Brilliance abstracts where simplicity begins. Yeah I caved and got the famous perilla oil noodles. Yeongdonsik presents itself as a deceptively simple endeavour with a limited and concentrated menu; scratching my head, I initially questioned its popularity, after eating, I understood and wholeheartedly accepted the full-house 10 minutes after opening queue.

( ๑‾̀◡‾́)✨ Well, Baba is going to feed us whatever we want tonight!!!!
Baba’s Place, I’ve seen you before; you’re in my dad’s contact name, my Italian primary school best friend’s kitchen in Brighton-le-Sands, the plates that my Arab co-worker brought to the mid-year party at the Rockdale Noffs, my Vietnamese (to be) in laws hectic parties, in the sweets my elderly Greek canteen lady who worked with…

And how is…

Stand-out dishes from Pitt Street’s Funda (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ
Neon-lit and kaleidoscopic, recently opened last year Funda puts out some pretty solid food, proving that the pretty-faced interior does indeed have something to show for. Here were my stand outs: Soy Cured Prawn with Burrata (vanella burrata cheese, ginger, microdill, crouton) Pickled Octopus (pickled vegetables, grilled cabbage, yuzu kosho crème fraiche, parsley oil) Bibimmyun…

Busy Bee’s Review of Funkatello
Darlinghurst my Darlinghurst, never close to a train station but always a nice walk to get to you. Sandwiched close to Sydney’s CBD, Funkatello welcomes you with the sweet leisure of homestyle cooking. Funkatello’s interior harnesses its main charm, with an open-ish kitchen, chipped walls and a mismatched plush couch lounge. The stair climb to the…
