​@@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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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

[@victor5663]

Thank you for supporting small local businesses and showcasing the beauty of these cities and towns you visit! I've been watching for years. Come to Toronto!

[@GiuseppeBasile]

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

[@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.

[@George-il3xt]

im so impressed with the research you've put into this well done mate

[@michaellivesey4354]

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

[@geegeeandlulu]

As much as I understand why he does have other people travelling with him, I much prefer it when he’s just with Ying and Micah. Original feel. Loving this Australian tour. Hope it’s New Zealand next!!

[@josephj6521]

Great work Mark. I didn’t realise you were in Sydney! After seeing the excitement of your Greece videos, it was so cool seeing you in far away Sydney enjoying the delights. 👍

[@To0chilled]

when the owner of a restaurant with 5 locations is waiting himself and is this friendly you know they have to have a good work climate. so friendly and welcoming, makes me wanna come visit

[@user-yz1my3vv3i]

i love the fact that you bring the family and friends along on these tours .watching you share the food with your son was entertaining.

[@harrybalzak347]

As a Sydney sider you've hit every food symbol that represents Australia, with multicultural food that's what I love about Sydney!

[@dingobonza]

You can get the same food elsewhere. The snack packs in Sydney are weak compared to Queensland 🙊🙊

[@harrybalzak347]

@dingobonza been to Queensland the kebabs are good. What he reviewed were the most iconic in sydney

[@dingobonza]

@@harrybalzak347 Queensland has HSP at nearly every kebab store. I lived in a very much rural conservative town 3 hours from Brisbane, we still had HSP. HSPs are in Adelaide too and the folklore is that they were invented there, not in Sydney. HSP does not = Sydney whatsoever.

[@harrybalzak347]

@dingobonza that's all well and good. But the video is about Sydney eats 🤷‍♂️

[@dingobonza]

@@harrybalzak347 multiple times he makes generalised Australia claims in a Sydneycentric fashion and this sums up why the rest of the country jokes Australia to Americans stops at Sydney, also why we think Shitneysiders are the most egotistical people in the country in their own ego bubble. Something Sydney folk don't always realise the rest of the country thinks... it's the language he uses, generalising our country to Sydney and claiming things are invented in Sydney when they really weren't.

[@julzhunt7790]

Gotta love how fresh the food looks and the quality of the ingredients we have in our Aussie food. Plus the diversity of cultures represented by their food.

[@lorettaholliman3334]

Micah is sooooo cute!!! I love how you take your family when you travel!! He looks so happy🥰

[@kalechiu886]

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

[@nadiaking1732]

The greatest food reviewer to have ever existed. His pallet to extinguish each individual flavour and ingredient is exquisite. I can only dream of having this lifestyle. We love you mark 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@jonathandeguardia7601]

The struggling between the eggplants & dumpling was real 😅 such an amazing KZbinr. Have been following for the past 8 years

[@reycosep5916]

Australia is a Beautiful place❤ and a very kind person

[@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

[@zaraeraesmith7510]

This was great! It's so lovely as a Sydneysider to see someone try foods and appreciate them for the first time! I've realised how grateful I should be!

[@toburae3870]

I love the thought that Micah never has gone hungry growing up with you guys lol Edit: bouncing Micah at 20:32 haha!

[@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.

[@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.

[@jaycartwright5333]

We call the sauces the holy trinity mark. You well never order anythng other than a mix HSP with the Holy Trinity. A true Aussie classic!

[@philipwong454]

Welcome to Sydney Mark. It’s a pleasure to have you visit us and feature our great diversity of food.

[@FlavorofMind]

Genuinely impressed with the wide array of delicious eats going on in Australia! Great to see!

[@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 .

[@corazonsanmiguel2930]

I love those crunchy rolls with liver spread, and fresh veggies

[@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.

[@angelinaveriic6437]

Wow....thank you for coming here in Australia...wow never thought....I hope he stays longer and comes up to Queensland, Gold coast....thank you for sharing Australia and Australian food to the world...🙏🌏💖

[@Matt-ls6xk]

Good on you Mark , as someone that has lived and worked in Sydney some great mentions here. I've eaten at all these places, that's how you know I have a food problem. Worth while for anyone visiting Sydney :)

[@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... ✌

[@Hedriks]

in the 80s-90s was a cool experience going for a night out and grabbing a bite to eat, but now, the food has jumped up levels and Sydney is a real dining experience today. Australia being so close to the Asian lands to our west, it brings a huge array of Asian cuisines so varied in tastes. We also get the taste of the Mediterranean flavours alongside the Arab cultures. We have the taste of India scattered across the Country with their flavours upon the plates.

[@napocalyphia8033]

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

[@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

[@nerites]

I'd never seen Mark fighting really really hot food. This is amazing. I love him so much!
