Sydney Fish Market

It took nearly an hour to get a seat at this popular destination for seafood lovers. It's kind of expected, really - since it was a Saturday afternoon. Felt like Hong Kong that day - I'd say 80% of the customers are Asian - up from the usual 50%. We Asians truly are seafood slaves.

Uighur Cuisine - Sydney

You know, they could be more creative with the restaurant name, but who cares? The food is N-i-ceeee.

It's Uighur food. The Uighur people are Turkic people predominantly living in Xinjiang province in China's north. So, the food is halal, spicy, exotic and fantastic.




Nice Teapot.



Entree #1 -> Tofu in soy sauce dressing



Entree #2 -> Jelly in vinegar dressing



Guxnan (Uighur style meat pancakes)
-> Mmmm.....Oily. Just like my face.



Koy Gosh Kawapi (Lamb shish kebab)
-> The bestseller and Uighur's signature dish.
You know, the giant skewers freak me out. Especially when the waitresses carry them around in a manner that they can stab you to death.



Dapanji (Literally means 'big plate chicken')
-> Everybody seemed to order this one. Spicy curry. Akin to Malaysian curry (somewhat), but with an extra something that makes it more middle-eastern.



Dapanji Himir
-> Some kind of pasta to accompany the Dapanji.
