Mr Happy Chef Noodle House Homebush NSW


The classic tomato flavoured rice that comes with pork chops, or as above, with deep fried chicken.



The crowds this time were not just lining up at Toan Thang, much celebrated in social media, but also two doors away at Mr. Happy Chef.   So our group of six persons decided to give this corner restaurant a try.  It was a public holiday and so many people were out and about, we just being lucky to have found vehicle parking spaces not too far away.   There is a relatively spacious walk area outside this restaurant - another plus in so called Asian suburbs!




Subtle but flavourful stock in soup served with Wanton dumplings and egg noodles.



As in such so called ethnic places, service can be devastatingly fast.   The soups do come piping hot, and my best dish experienced that day was the tomato flavoured rice with the deep fried chicken.    The chicken skin was crispy, the rice had sufficient oomph in flavour and the meat was happily good on the bite.   The prawn noodle in contrast lacked the required level of taste but the accompanying ingredients were all right.    The wanton dumpling soup was above average to my fellow lunchers who love Cantonese styled food.







Tender on the bite pork slices garnish a spicy soup brewed with ground shrimp, enhanced by shallots, bean sprouts and boiled eggs  -  the Mee Yoke or Prawn Noodles.



So there you go, one has to be selective in having dishes anywhere.   The buzz at Mr. Happy Chef is turnover, tight seating and friendly service.  One of my meal companions went for a quick drop by to get Western Australian nougat and another got the chopped barbecue meats next door.    There are, as expected, many items in the food and drinks menu at Mr. Happy Chef.

Aunty Gaik Lian's - Straits Chinese, Georgetown, Penang

Image
A simple but appetising egg omelette as starters. Gulai Ikan Tumis or sour and spicy fish curry. The previous long standing branch of jewellers B.P De Silva, almost at the corner of Bishop and Beach streets in the old quarter of Georgetown, has a few months ago been transformed into a hub of Straits Chinese cuisine. Straddling two shop lots, located in an evening quiet location but near to the banking district on  business days, Aunty Gaik Lian's provides a refreshing change to the Nyonya food landscape on Penang island.  I have always found that the best Straits Chinese food is found in homes in Penang, like what my Mum dishes out, and it has been exasperating to be really satisfied with commercial outlets in this cuisine.  The Penang variation of such Peranakan food tends to be more influenced by ingredients and cooking styles from Thailand and the Malayan peninsular , when compared to the Malacca version (with more of stronger Indonesian influences and the use of the

85 Degrees Bakery Cafe Hurstville NSW

Image
There are several outlets of this bakery cafe for several years now in Australia.  Did they coem from the USA? Each franchised outlet is in a busy area, often in suburbs so-called by a diverse Asian demographic.   The one in Hurstville is rather roomy and lots of baked stuff on its shelves.   The base of Sydney operations is in Chester Hill, a suburb south-west of the Sydney city centre. Some of the cake creations would be viewed as rather leaning on the East Asian dimension  - Strawberry Angel (with chocolate base and top) and Mango Cheese ( with yoghurt).   However, to counter this perspective, there are also Death by Chocolate, US Cheesecake, Coffee Brulee and Blueberry Marble options.     The pastries are definitely filled with ingredients more suited to perhaps  Anime loving fans and non-mainstream cultures - for example, garlic, pork, tuna, green tea, red bean, shallots, pork floss, coconut, Hokkaido butter cream and Boroh or pineapple buns.    Sung
