[@Prof.Pwnalot]

As an Australian, you're kidding yourself if anyone thinks he tried multicultural or showed the best foods. This is all super generic and mainstream foods. You could go to one indian restraunt and order more dishes than anything you've ever tried in your life in terms of multicultural. Same with this mark guy. All his videos showing off Australia have been incredibly below par and a complete disservice to the country. That travel vlogger / guide he was with had no idea of foods outside of places shes visited before, and showed nothing of substance. Come on man. This wasn't a food tour, this was chicken, some basic chinese food and a HSP. Hardly cheap also. Ordering close to the city. Guy has no idea. You haven't been to Australia yet you comment " I hope people realize you can’t cover everything when you visit but you always manage to show the best of the best of what the country has to offer." Oh i realize all right, one that you are an idiot, and two, you have no idea of the country so like 90% of people on the internet, brown nose others. Come to the country and see for yourself or shut up. Complete misinformation spreading. This was no where near the best of the best you silly woman.

[@david-reason]

Hi Mark, I lived in China for 6 years, before moving to Bangkok. Every night after work I'd have hand-made noodles. The guys usually from North West China, would mix a sack of flour with yeast and water to ferment / grow overnight. Each portion was cut from the large slab and turned into noodles. It's something that entertained me every evening without fail. They turned a lump of dough with hand pressure and stretching plus a little flour / olive oil from large pipes into thin great tasting noodles in a few minutes. I miss them. Best wishes from Bangkok.

[@lukeh302]

​@@Quixotic-IX I've also been to everyone many times, except for the Chinese Noodle place. They are well known. Everyone knows Marrickville Pork Roll has the best in Sydney and they are amazing, worth a 30-45 min drive if you have that craving for reference there are many quality Banh Mi places in Sydney due to a large Vietnamese diaspora, however I think this is still the best after many year. El Jannah turned from that original location into a food Chain spreading across Australia, it used to be better before it expanded, its lowered its quality to appeal to the masses but its still great. They are what made the Lebanese Chicken to be as famous as it is now, a true Sydney institution. Halal Snack packs are bread and butter fast food, we have many kebab shops in Sydney however I am not sure the one he visited would be in the top 10 in Sydney, none the less the experience is real. The late night Indian kebab is near our large Cricket Stadium, it is a must have after all day on the beers watching cricket, one of the best drunken snacks you can eat and is an Sydney Institution.

I lived in Europe (France) for just under 2 years and travelled extensively throughout. The food scene there is nothing special (even in France) and the limited flavour profiles and lack of spices gets boring very quickly. The food in Sydney (and Australia) is on another level compared and I couldn't wait to dig into some proper food when I returned to Australia. We have so much variety here and unlike Europe, the original flavours are not bastardised or watered down for the locals.

[@FlamencoOz]

@@clw82100 What we found in Madrid was that the food was simple (which I liked) but the moment you went for something like Chinese, Thai, Middle Eastern the tastes were nothing like on the level they are in Sydney.

lots of food vloggers who visit australia try the novel or iconic foods like seafood, barbecue or kangaroo meat, but few take the time to learn about what local people enjoy. really really appreciate that you visited all these local favourites and that you enjoyed them! we are a multicultural country and it really shows in our food :)

[@aNNieismynamelolOMG]

whoever did the research did a banging job - thank you for putting Sydney's food scene on the map Mark and team!!!

[@troycollett8540]

That’s because they engage with guides here in Australia

[@King-pv8fk]

Let's be honest, that kebab/fries box a poorly take on the Rotterdam/Turkish kapsalon, nothing original about it.

"food scene"

[@themanagement69]

@@King-pv8fk It tastes better in oz because they have beaches instead of piles of dirt that prevent flooding lol. Im a Yank so flame away, Australia still wins.

[@themanagement69]

@@bunns420 they have posh food for wanky hipsters in Sydney too, and I guarantee it smashes the food scene in the crap hole you crawled out of. This video is a representation of what the average person eats when they're having lunch or picking up dinner on a work night.

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Flight prices from NYC to Sydney kill me😩 I already wanted to go, but I'd love to spend a couple days just exploring the popular food spots throughout town and getting to know Australian cuisine/culture. One day!

[@veshankachetty]

Mark you have the best feel-good energy!! Besides the awesome foods, your channel is great because you’re such a genuine guy 🤤👌😎

[@GiuseppeBasile]

I have lived in Sydney all my life. Going to check out a few of these places Mark. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@newgenerationbullies]

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYBODY FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺!!!!!! SEEMS LIKE A WONDERFUL CULTURE 👍

[@inisolation6582]

Thanks, we aren’t too shabby here :)

[@newgenerationbullies]

@@inisolation6582 Greetings 👍

[@napocalyphia8033]

Mark managed to hit the ACTUAL good spots on Sydney, none of that fancy bs he hit the actual food spots

[@sarahharrison5024]

I've been watching Mark for a long time it was weird to see him pop up in Sydney but it's also awesome imagine if all food cooked could make us have this much expression of love and appreciation for bloody good food.

[@geonise7191]

Thanks Mark. For so long I have got to see everyone else’s food and people. And I love it. Now the world gets to see mine. I hope they love it .

[@tharstheblessed3763]

I love how he has a foodgasm next to the garbage bins. I've never tried the Banh Mi Baguette when I used to live in Sydney.

[@Yotee]

As an sydneysider, I am so happy that Mark has finally made his way over! Loved the video bro, keep it up!

[@elisafloriana]

I've always love Mark expression in first bite. His happy face when eat makes me smile. Best of luck, Mark!

[@NinniDolly]

Same. It's so comforting

[@HolidayInGuantanamo]

Always waiting to see those eyes popping when he enjoys the food

[@SunsetHoney615]

The original angry Vietnamese lady serving the original Marrickville pork roll 😂 true SE Asian service.

[@michaellivesey4354]

Can see why Aussies eat these for lunch..fresh food in a roll....love them

[@PVL-x9h]

Hi Mark, you've hit the nail on the head with these iconic eats in Sydney 💯 Hope you, Ying & Micah enjoyed your stay and thanks for a great video!!

[@DeniseLeung]

Long time follower of Mark Wiens, and super excited that youre reporting from Sydney ! As a sydney sider, ive gotta say youre pretty spot on with your choices ! Well researched !!

[@joanne8018]

Thanks for coming to Sydney! Been following your videos for 10 years now and you definitely hit the local favourites :) I still feel very nostalgic remembering your adventures in Nepal and India.

[@kalechiu886]

thank you. next week when i visit SYD. i will definitely go to taste especially Metro One Kebab.

[@vickimarlene4905]

The Lebanese charcoal chicken restaurants are amazing. My family used to go to one in Sydney and it was so delicious. We loved the accompaniments like the garlic dip pickles and Lebanese bread. So yum.

[@cookdislander4372]

I swear if Lebanese charcoal chicken ever made its way to New Zealand it would he massive cause all we have is KFC and supermarket cooked chickens

[@vickimarlene4905]

I just wish we had one where I live now in STH Gippsland.

[@drumfrk13]

Please make a part 2 Sydney tour!!! There’s so much more to explore 😅

[@absoluteclutch4585]

Ikr. It would take him forever to hit all the good spots. Still can't believe he mentioned the HSPAS 😂

[@Urachampion]

Part 2 just go to Bankstown or Cabra

[@DirkShotojima]

​@@Urachampion overrated

[@StephenJohnson-jb7xe]

One thing my local bakery does is to use scissors to cut the spring onion and coriander in the roll, it makes eating the roll so much better.

[@AmericanChristian316]

Clean and wholesome food and travel videos. Thank you Wiens family for being mindful!

[@hal263]

Australian food culture is like no other. It is so varied and the abundance of fresh, local ingredients (even in local supermarkets) makes it so unique. If you're a foodie and haven't eaten in Australia, you're missing out.

[@tristancleary]

Absolutely. I'm Australian so accept that I'm bias... but even trying my hardest to be completely honest - having travelled to over 40 countries I think we have the best food overall in the world. The extremely high quality ingredients, hugely diverse population, and (to be honest) the fact we didn't have any recession and are affluent enough to eat out/travel a lot so are quite discerning has led to seriously high quality food of pretty much every variety. Like, if you picked just ONE cuisine, its possibly done better in its home country - but only just - but the point is you can say that about any cuisine which makes us so unique.

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

this is so full of crap LOL. Its like hey we clearly dont have any food identity so lets just make something up out of nothing. Literally 0 foodies have ever had to come to Australia for this reason.

[@tristancleary]

@@SmellsLikeNirvanna what are you even talking about. I guess Anthony Bourdain doesn't count? Gordon Ramsay? literally the video you're replying too? Sure, we don't get as much attention, unsurprising when we're a small market on the other side of the world from everywhere. Doesn't change the truth of what I said. The reality is that Australia doesn't really have its own food identity, so you are right there. We just do cuisines from the rest of the world really, really well - sometimes with a spin, sometimes as faithful to the original.

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

@@tristancleary they have only been here because theyve been to every single country in the world basically. Australia has basically 0 culture and identity in general. Besides, I am a big Gordon Ramsay fan and im acutally thinking when he even visited us. Probably very briefly.

[@tristancleary]

@@SmellsLikeNirvanna thats just not true. I've lived in Canada and the UK . Australia has a distinct culture and identity even compared to those two countries that are probably our closest cousins. I've travelled all over the world - we're unique, even if we don't have thousands of years old buildings to point to. Anyways. If you just wanna hate on Australia feel free. You are entitled to your opinion, even if objectively its wrong, particularly on the food front.

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

Australia invented 'chicken salt' - it's the BEST stuff on earth to have with fries/chips. Aussie Aussie Aussie!

[@AtimusLOL]

Should've went to Cabramatta or Burwood for good cheap eats as well. Glad to see Sydney represented! Craving me some EJs now

[@paulsz6194]

@Helen 13 what about the Phó & rice paper rolls ?

[@Enoonmi]

100% cabra he would of loved John St

[@NeilBlanco]

Welcome to Sydney! So happy you went out into the suburbs and didn't just stay in the CBD. Great range of restaurants too. Well done and hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in our beautiful city. Peace... ✌

[@PhoenixSunsNZ]

As a Kiwi who lived in Sydney for two years, I can say the food I liked the most was the kebabs and the fact that most of the Greek fish n chip shops did Chicken and Chips. I would love our fish n chip shops to do charcoal chicken.

[@Adelle313]

Your food vlogs are incredible and Sydney is one of my favorite places on Earth - such a great episode!!!! Thank you!!
