# 989 EPIC NOMS

# 989 EPIC NOMS

Australia is 100% FAIR DINKUM a land of foodies.
FOOD?? We love to eat it, blog about it, have festivals full of it, display an expo of it and sit on our couch at home and watch others battle it out to make it (AKA Masterchef, Junior Masterchef, My Kitchen Rules etc) or crown every chef in the town a celebrity chef.

We love our food oooooh so much and we have ooooh so much to choose from!
When the question is "what do you want to eat", you have to go through hundreds of cuisine options! Chinese Yum Cha, Burgers, Spanish tapas , Malaysian satays, Italian pizza pastas and antipasto, Sushi, Vegetarian, Indian curry's , Fruits, Thai every things, Seafood , tasty tasty Pies , Banger Sangas, Schnitzels and other German delights, dumplings , French pastries and cheeses, cupcakes, kebabs , Mexican fajitas and burritos , lovely lamb , Moroccan and many many many more.

Mentioned earlier in number "#995 Pub Grub & A Chinese Restaurant" yes we have some bare basic staples in every town. But thats just the tip of the iceberg. Nay, the icicle on the tip of the tip of the iceberg. if you live in a big metro city, the world is your oyster. Or your burger, or whatever the tasty treat you want it to be.

Taking a walk through Sydney town, you want it, we got it. Whatever your raging craving is, you can find a wee little place that serves it somewhere in our city.
And we have it with swagger my friend...

Here's just a sample of some awesome venues I've either personally sampled or had someone rave to me about..

PREPARE TO DROOL, FOR AUSSIELAND HAS EPIC NOMS THAT ARE AWESOME!

# 995 Pub Grub & A Chinese Restaurant

No matter how far or how wide you roam in Australia, no matter how teeny tiny the town in that you are visiting, you will most likely find the two food gems of Oz.

The Pub Grub and a Chinese Restaurant.
OR
the double bunger bonus,
the Pub with bistro and attached chinese restaurant all in the one happy place.

Yes we Aussies love our Mixed Grill , bacon and egg rolls and sweet and sour pork with special fried rice soooo much it hurts.

We will always know the local dodgy version of both places, and will sing the praises of our tried and tested favourite favourites.

Heaven knows where these isolated rural towns get their chinese food supplies but they have been a fixture in towns around australia since almost day one, where you can order every item on the menu and it will be ready in 15 minutes.

At the pub you can order all of our "Aussie Favourites" like
Schnitzel (not australian)
Chicken Parmagiana (not australian)
Bacon & Eggs (not australian)
Risotto (not australian)
Fish & Chips (not australian)
and the old Steak Special.. (ok maybe we can claim this one)

So we pay hommage to our English Ancestory and Asian Geographical placement with the tried & true, Pub Grub & Chinese feed.... Awesome..


# 1001 MILO




MILO

Not Happy with the non-MILO state of the world, Thomas Mayne sat down in Sydney in 1934 and concocked up this tasty treat that Australian's cant get enough of.

No longer were our options restricted to Coffee and Tea but we also had the third most AWESOME option, which was Milo.

So much did we love it that we even associated it with all things sporting in the Milo Tv comercials. So Aussies can't possibly excel at their favourite sporting pastime unless they have a big dollup of milky milo goodness in their bellies swooshing around.

Whether having it with Hot Milk, Crunchy on top in cold milk or like a chocolate snowstorm on your ice cream,

MILO IS WHY AUSTRALIA IS AWESOME
