NQN’s Eating Tour of Anzac Parade

Posted in Eating, Special Events, Sydney - East, Sydney - South

Anzac Parade is one of those very, very long streets that stretches out for suburbs traversing the South and East of Sydney from La Perouse to Moore Park. A lot of places to eat are centred around the Kingsford area with the nearby University and these offer a range of extremely student budget friendly Asian food from Taiwanese to Indonesian, some worth a trip in themselves. My husband and I decided to do an eating tour of the best known places to eat here. I shall be adding places as I eat at them so keep checking back!

Satay Delight at UNSW Kensington

Posted in Cheap Thrills, Eating, Sydney - East

Have you ever known one of those permanent University student? One that drifts from course to course collecting degrees and PhD’s like trophies. I know some but I could never be one. I was always itching to get out and ready to do the job rather than theorise about it. I can understand the appeal of the safety of a university but to me, studying for exams is something nightmares are made out of. As soon as I got my degree, I was gone in a flash.

University food is pretty dismal at the best of times - as I was a vegetarian at the time I seem to recall melted cheese on everything, but if you’re a student at UNSW there is one place where you can find solace, in a spicy bowl of Laksa, noodle soup or Beef Rendang. I am such a fan of their Beef Rendang that I compare it against all other and inevitably others fail.

It’s 11.45am and there is already a queue which comes in waves, sometimes it is empty, other times it stretches beyond the shopfront. They’re either queuing for bain marie’d dishes or at the noodle station for some noodle soup or Laksa. The Laksa is always a good bet here and today is the Penang Laksa so we order this.
