We are back to Sydney Chinatown to do part 4 on what to eat and where to eat in Sydney’s Chinatown plus covering the newly introduced NSW Dine & Discover vouchers. The NSW Government has launched Dine & Discover NSW to encourage the community to get out and about and support dining, arts and tourism businesses. How to apply this Dine and Discover vouchers are from Service NSW website or mobile app. All NSW residents aged 18 and over can apply 4 x $25 vouchers worth $100 in total. 2 x $25 Dine NSW vouchers and 2 x $25 Discover NSW vouchers.
These Dine and Discover NSW vouchers can be used at participating NSW businesses. Today we show you how you can use and where you can use the Dine vouchers in Sydney Haymarket Chinatown. We will use 4 x $25 Dine vouchers and see whether we succeed to eat for free!
In this Sydney food tour, we visited Kowloon Café for traditional Hong Kong breakfast. Kowloon Café is an authentic Hong Kong styled café (cha chaan teng) in the heart of Sydney’s Chinatown. There are so many Hong Kong street food options including HK style French toast, pineapple bun, baked pork chop, curry fish ball, HK style milk tea, noodle soup and many more HK style snacks. We will need to come back for sure to try more Hong Kong food as we only tried the traditional HK breakfast.
For lunch, we head down to Ho Jiak, Malaysian restaurant with modern fusion twist of Penang street food and Nyonya food with prominent Chinese Malaysian flavours. While their signature char kway teow is one of the best so far in Sydney, we tried something different - KFC crispy rendang and salted egg chicken wings. Salted egg chicken wings is a great appetizer, if you like the fish skin, you can try their salted egg crispy fish skin too. The fried chicken with Colonel’s KFC recipe cooked in a spicy aromatic chicken curry - this surprisingly is so delicious, perfect with rice!
For dessert, we off to Thaitown area in Pitt St to a Thai dessert café called Mango Coco, an aesthetic dessert café in the middle of Sydney City CBD. Since this is a mango café, we can’t go home until we order Mango Bingsu!

[@nickandhelmi]

Loll did u watch Sleeping Beauty? Hahaa yea i did some acting back then 😆

[@TravelInteresante]

I have never heard of Hong Kong style French toast, that's looking Soo good!

[@nickandhelmi]

Yes! HK takes of western style french toast to more Asian flavour and really life changing 😋

[@bearsandbutters]

That Mango restaurant was sure bright yellow inside! LOL. That would be a mango lovers paradise. The dessert looked so fancy with the dry ice and the fresh mangoes with mango pearls. We know Helmi loves desserts so much! Thanks for taking us with you and love you guys to the mother effin' moon! 😘💖🌛

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

That mango bingsu!!! That's magical.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

the posters at Kowloon cafe are so cool! "Milk tea with tea" sounds a bit too much tea to me! 😂😂😂

[@nickandhelmi]

Hahaha🤣 but yesss kowloon interior is like in HK!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thanks for this wonderful video.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Ohhh that bingsu looks amazing! Great shot of the smoke billowing off it too. Big fans of that smooth bingsu and love the mango flavor

[@bearsandbutters]

WOW!! That is the thickest French Toast we have seen, and love that there is peanut butter inside. The pineapple bread looked so good, and can't believe how much butter was in it! Butters would REALLY be enjoying that LOL!! The milk tea with coffee is a perfect pairing for those dishes.

[@toddgeorge4568]

Great Video Guys

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

[@nickandhelmi]

Love it! Incentive for ppl to go out and about again 😄

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

[@roddevereaux1830]

NSW government is the best in Australia! The vouchers are great especially as its per person

[@lowerthenthelowestdeck]

@@nickandhelmi problem is they haven’t rolled it out to all suburbs yet and some might miss out by the expiry date

[@PuriandSue]

AWwwh that's mango goodness loaded! Yumssss!! "We go for dessert at the very end, because, Helmi" 😂

[@TOPTRAVELVLOG]

Wonderful video. Nice creation. Great work friend.

[@bearsandbutters]

The KFC Curry Malay chicken dish looked bomb! We would totally order that! We're glad to hear the chicken wings were tender and tasty. You guys always eat such good food.

[@NguyenningAtLife]

Thanks for making us hungry guys! Lol. That HK style french toast is making us drool 🤤 And the KFC rendang is so unique!

[@TheMamuchos]

[@FoodandFootprints]

Love the look of the interior of Kowloon Cafe! Brings back memories of Hong Kong.

[@nickandhelmi]

Absolutely so unique 🤩

[@RudyVisuals]

KFC Crispy rendang sounds like a dream 😍😍 we've been having such a huge craving for Malay food luckily the restaurants are opening soon so we can finally eat out 😀

[@lore9503]

[@kawaiirose1693]

Looks really good meal and drinks. I wanna try some. Thanks for sharing. New frend here :)

[@FoodandFootprints]

Absolutely love salted egg sauce!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

KFC 'crispy' rendang. D word crispy for rendang has created controversy for a cooking competition program in UK few years ago. D fried chicken with rendang sauce u guys had, very unique.

[@socielledstance]

opps someone beat me to it lol

[@FoodandFootprints]

Exactly what came to mind and commented the same 😂😂😂

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@FoodandFootprints U guys have had rendang after d one year wonderful food exploration in Malaysia. Malaysian rendang nowadays, I noticed, more towards with thick sauce, traditionally, it's quite dry, making it more delicious. D Indonesian rendang (padang, Sumatera), last year was chosen as d top of 50 best food in d world by CNN Travel. 😁🇲🇾😁

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Nick and Helmi! It's cool to see you guys on Part 4 of Chinatown in Sydney. Did you guys get those food vouchers for free?? All Australian residents? Or did you have to pay something for them? If they were free that's really cool!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

These vouchers sound amazing. Japan did something similar. The toast! 🙌 We recently had pineapple bread is NY! So darn good.

[@PogiboyProductions]

Ooh Kowloon Cafe has some pretty looking french toast! I'm in for the sweets like Helmi hehe..

[@EatorTreat]

Wow! amazing feeds at Chinatown! Kiam ah nui kay looks INSANE! ans I looove the hot and spicy kfc - so that kfc crispy rendang will be PERFECT!

[@PogiboyProductions]

Wow that mango bingsu! 😮

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

ouf! the mango bingsu is huuugeee!! and lots of toppings!! 😱

[@nickandhelmi]

Great for sharing 💛

[@TheMamuchos]

That is such an amazing initiative to activate the economy! Go Sydney! What?? HK style french toast??? Lieles needs that in his life right now lol

[@Perplexy_bella]

Arghhh I’m in Melbourne but I totally want to fly over and try these places out! Thank you for the recommendations! ❤️🙏😀

[@nickandhelmi]

Hehee definitely💕😊

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahaha I am laughing out loud hearing Helmi rapping on the pineapple pen song 😂 Have heard about Kowloon cafe before from Instagram, yesss that's the place we want to visit definitely if we go to Sydney. Love the vibe and that thick ass french toast. Yummy breakfast!

[@TheMamuchos]

Wow that mango dessert looks phenomenal, guys!! Can we enter Australia already???

[@juliuslean9667]

Nope

[@MikkiShihTzu]

I love HK STYLE DINERS MAN! hk milk tea is my favorite go to morning drink the tea and coffee mix is Ying Yueng cha

[@user-eq7uj7lf6b]

There's so many restaurants I passed by but never tried in the Chinatown series! Super excited to try some now, I miss the super strong milk teas from HK and also bingsu from Korea as well! I've been looking for an Ice Kacang place, but nothing hits the spot like I had in Malaysia. Ho Jiak is too $$ for me but I've found Campsie is a favourite spot for authentic Malaysian Chinese food at a good price.

[@nickandhelmi]

We love Cinta Rasa at Campsie🥰👌🏻 and yesss nothing as close as ice kacang in Malaysia 🥺

[@TheMamuchos]

Nick: "that sounds so wrong" Helmi: 🙄🙄🙄 😂😂😂

[@leungyubi]

Thank you from Hong Kong. 🥰🍡🥤 Btw, Ho Jiak is one of my favourite restaurant in town too!

[@nickandhelmi]

Love it💕😋 thanks for watching🙌🏻

[@gunnertravel]

look at that Mango Bingsu wow.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah it's fried chicken day for you guys at Hojiak. The salted egg chicken ribs are great pick, love the look of it 😍 KFC rendang sounds divine! Hahah yeah Asian KFC is the best. Similar to hot & spicy KFC we have here during winter. Lucky we have the only one KFC near our home that serves hot & spicy fried chickens all year round haha.

[@RudyVisuals]

We had a very similar initiative to dine & discover in the UK. We got so many takeaways when it was around haha

[@Lena-zr6ce]

The Mango Bingsu at Mango CoCo is so good. Have you tried Oiden Bowl Bar, its a Japanese Cafeteria style eatery on George st, in the city? They have a delicious Ontama beef bowl.

[@nickandhelmi]

Yesss Lena, love the bingsu 😭 I need to try the salted egg mochi balls next. Love Oiden & Mappen - we always eat there for cheap & yummy eats in city😋

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Ho Jiak looks so nice inside. Nothing wrong with repeating a place. We do it ALL the time. We're so bad with our budget. It's all for food. 😂

[@PogiboyProductions]

5:21 pineapple bun lol I actually was singing it

[@HangryByNature]

Yummmmmm pineapple bun haha many people think there is pineapple. oooooo that butter melt shot so smoooooth! LOL free voucher + pineapple bun. Love the hot and spicey KFC chicken and this rendang one sounds so yummy!! Mango coco sounds like my type of dessert place, love mangos!! omg just fell in love with mango bingsu with the dry ice!! lol such a cool effect with the dry ice. Must find a mango coco asap lol

[@TravelInteresante]

Ho Jiak seems to be a really nice spot! KFC Krispy! That's a nice name 😉

[@TheMamuchos]

Yes life happens, a few more bottles of wine got into my grocery cart, what can I do? But Lieles isnt very supportive with that 🤣🤣

[@PuriandSue]

Crispy rendang, must be inspired by the Masterchef incident 😆 I don't mind having fried chicken with rendang!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Part 4 of infinity! 😂

[@gunnertravel]

HK Style French toast nice. it's been a while since it try it in HK

[@larrymasif5851]

Lol In the middle of the night find Helmi at Mango Bingsu. 😝

[@nickandhelmi]

It's highly possible 🤣😝

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Can't go wrong with pineapple bun! In Canada they have pineapple bun sandwiches! With eggs and spam inside!

[@ferdausimisti9045]

Thank you for giving this idea. Now I can use my $25 voucher. Pls do a video for $25 discovery voucher ideas. Love you guys❤️

[@nickandhelmi]

Thanks so much for watching😊🙏🏼

[@aloksrivastava7697]

We also have Bun and butter in Lucknow city, India, you should also try somewhere Gilauti kabab ( mutton / lamb ) and Paratha ( indian bread )

[@nickandhelmi]

Wow sounds really yum alok😋

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Oh so you guys can also use the entertainment vouchers also for restaurants too, yeah?

[@nickandhelmi]

No, entertainment voucher is only for cinema & museum not for food hehe

[@rileylucas1517]

You guys are awesome. Will definitely go to those places to redeem our remaining vouchers. Yesterday we tried going to Malatang No1 in Burwood and the lady at the register gave us a death stare and didnt let us combine our vouchers (we were with multiple people) when the website clearly said that you can. Then one of our friends tried using his voucher as he came after us and his dish came to like $18-19 and they didn’t even let him use his at all saying he can’t use it. He was so embarrassed. Also, was really looking forward to going Heet tea after seeing Helmi and your sister eat the boba soft serve but it is now closed for good wahhhhhhh 😭😭😭 Missed our chance.

[@nickandhelmi]

Oh man :( its so bad they didnt allow you to combine it! We ask each establishment it seems it is allowed, you cant redeem two from The same person but you can add each individual coupon! :D ahh hehe hope u enjoy heet tea hehe

[@PeterandYen]

That's pretty good way to stimulate the economy going again with the 4 vouchers. Especially if every Aussie can get access to this. "Milk tea, with Tea" - Helmi hahahahaahha. The pineapple bun and french toast looked the bomb. N that KFC rendang looks really good... but yeah you guys know I can't eat that T_T

[@socielledstance]

The 'crispy rendang' is a meme from Masterchef UK from a few years back when one of the judges commented the rendang made by one of the participants was not crispy lol. That kfc you mention is the hot and spicy kfc judging from the coating of the chicken. Theyre the best type of kfc! But yeah AUD25 for breakfast for 2? i think im good with my barista bros on the go 😂

[@nickandhelmi]

Hahah good meme! Maybe thats why they made is crispy haahah - haha 😂 but its free vouchers hheeheh

[@aimiliana28]

I definitely get what you mean when you said KFC in Malaysia/ Singapore/ Indonesia is different (and tastes better imo)!

[@nickandhelmi]

Yesss😭🙌🏻 the chicken, the seasoning they're just.. different lol

[@PogiboyProductions]

KFC rendang? Oooh, wish they had that here! Creamy! 👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

😂😂😂 Know why they made the crispy rendang - there was a whole controversy about it on Master Chef. This looks really tasty and boldly flavored with those lime leaves and lemongrass 🤤🤤

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Wonder how d kfc fried chicken served with rendang sauce would taste. Chicken or beef, cooked n simmered in coconut milk with ground chillies n aromatics made it looks like curry, but it's not. Rendang has to include 'kerisik' add d middle or towards d end of cooking to take d taste to another level. D finely shredded turmeric leaves n crushed lemongrass make it more aromatics. Kerisik, by d way, is fresh grated coconut toasted over low heat until golden brown, cooled down to crisp it up further, n pound into paste n residue oil. My late mom's rendang, remains todate, d best rendang in d world. I'm so happy that rendang made it to your top 50 best food in Malaysia. 😁🇲🇾😁

[@RudyVisuals]

woah that french toast looks like a whole loaf of bread 😅

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

First!!

[@nickandhelmi]

Cheers guys 🍻

[@TheMamuchos]

@@nickandhelmi Beers for all to celebrate!!

[@TravelInteresante]

I have just realized that I have never had any mango flavored dessert 🤯

[@josephlownang6992]

good video

[@nickandhelmi]

Thanks Joseph😊

[@michaelfung4629]

HK French toast: next time- don't spread/smother the butter. Just cut corners of butter off.

[@nickandhelmi]

Ohh i thought smother it 😂 thanks mike!!🙌🏻

[@roddevereaux1830]

Ho Jiak is good but seriously over priced even for CBD sydney

[@nickandhelmi]

Yes we agree on that. Normally we go to Strathfield one, normal price and more authentic Malaysian 😊

[@TheMamuchos]

That toast is perfect for a heart attack then hahahaha I don't think french toast in the US has any of those ingredients, just fried in butter and sugar lol.... but then again, IDK so don't pay attention to me lol 😂😂😂

[@jmkdata7785]

U look so cute😍 Helmi....

[@nickandhelmi]

Awww thank you 🥰💓

[@sammyshade_]

It always sounds so wrong coming from Helmi 😂😅...

[@nickandhelmi]

Hahaha🤣🤣 and she didn't realise it lol

[@TravelInteresante]

It's not healthy... I guess lol yeah Helmi that's like million calories 😅

[@robertfalconer5054]

Come to Wollongong Guys, Sydney is getting a bit boring, Great Asian food here too..

Love to Robert! Pls recommend us some places :) we tried Kneading Rubby once and damn what a gem!
