No trip to Sydney would be complete without paying a visit to the infamous Sydney Fish Market located in Pyrmont.

Entrance to Sydney Fish Market

There’s something very calming about this blue building. It’s probably because in my head interprets it as “Entry for delicious fresh seafood”

Fresh Whole Fish

Fresh fat fish at red hot prices.

Fresh Sashimi

Ready to be cut into perfect sashimi pieces.

Freshest Sushi Platters

Probably the freshest sushi you’ll ever eat.

One HUGE GIANT BIG Crab

One huge, giant, big expensive crab. No I did not consume it, but I would have liked to.

The Many Warmers of Delectable Seafood

Batter prawns, seafood sticks, octopus and more.

Mmm…

Soft shell crab, abalone, white bait and more prawns.

Seafood Platter

This was our seafood platter masterpiece. Scallops, kilpatrick oysters, oyster mornay, prawn skewer, octopus, squid, fish and chips with lemon wedges. It cost us $70approx. You will need four people to almost finish the platter.

Another view.

With a side of Lobster Mornay

This turned out to be quite filling. This creamy cheese sauce is loaded with a potato mash.

Huong Giang Menu

Unfortunately my favourite vietnamese restaurant in Marrickville, Old Thanh Huong, was closed for my last night in Sydney. However I am happy to try new places.

Goi Cuon

I was pleasantly surprised to see three portions of Goi Cuon (Fresh Rice Paper Rolls).

Com Tam

Broken rice with a marinated grilled pork chop, shredded pork and a fried egg.

Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio

Bun is also known as thin rice noodles. This dish is served with a combination of Cha Gio (Spring Rolls) and Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork) accompanied by Nuoc Cham (Dipping Sauce).

Thit Bo Luc Lac

Thit Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef) served with red rice.

Pho Dac Biet

Combination Pho the lot. There’s something very homey about Pho and it was the perfect meal to end my trip in Sydney.

Our whole meals, including drinks costed $50approx!

Krispy Kreme

Did you say 24 hour Krispy Kreme?!

The Many Varieties of KK’s

While we were there the special flavour for the season, inspired by Easter, was a Cream Egg Donut.

I’m always on the look out for delicious Vietnamese food and its very hard to stray from my usual which is Tra Vinh. However, when learning that the owner of Phong Vinh is related to the owners of Tra Vinh I thought I’d better give it a try. The menu is very extensive, but there are heaps of pictures to help your decision.

Goi Cuon Tom Thit (Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls with Pork and Prawns)

$5 approx.

These came out a minute after ordering and that’s my kind of vietnamese restaurant.

Goi Cuon Chao Tom (Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls with Prawn wrapped Sugarcane)

$5 approx.

These came shortly after.

Che Thai (Iced Thai Drink)

$4.50

Iced Thai drink packed with longan, sea coconut, mixed jellies and coconut milk. Topped with shaved ice and Durian. Note: If you don’t like durian please advise the waitstaff not to put it on top. Even if you try to scoop it off afterwards, the smell still lingers. It was still delicious and thirst quenching though.

Banh Ouc Chao Tom (Rolled Rice Flour Noodles with Sugarcane Prawns)

$10

Usually when I go to a new vietnamese restaurant I always try the Pho to test the authenticity. However, I rarely come across this childhood favourite on a menu. A tasty prawn paste, similar to the texture of thai fish cakes, carefully wrapped around a stalk of sugarcane and is then grilled or deep fried. The patty remains moist and sweet this way. It is served with a generous serving of noodles and nuoc cham. I had to order another serve of the nuoc cham as it was so yummy.

Nuoc Cham is a dipping sauce also known as ‘fish sauce’ commonly served with Vietnamese dishes.

Com Tam (Broken Rice with Pork Chop, Pate and Egg)

$12 approx.

This is to date, is the biggest serving of Com Tam, I’ve seen in Perth. It was tasty too. Somewhere under the mountain of delicious bi is a crispy fried egg and marinated pork chop.

Bi is shredded pork skin and may sound unappetising, but it’s crunchy, textual, nutty and goes great in rolls, rice dishes and noodle dishes – I could eat it by itself!

Bo Kho Noodles (Stewed Beef Noodle Soup)

$12 approx.

Ex-Fatty’s friend had the Bo Kho Noodle soup with combination noodles at no extra charge. There was a mixture of egg noodles and rice noodles. She couldn’t finish it.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal. The portion sizes were huge, food was great and the staff did not mind us hanging around for a chat afterwards.
