Specific ask - Best price/quality dish in Sydney? (Examples included)
I am a value guy - doesn't mean cheap, just means I like the price/quality mix to be just right. Generally speaking anything over $30 for a dish/meal isn't going to deliver that (because a local place run by immigrants won't be so expensive usually - normally that's reserved for fine dining).
Some examples I like:
Marrickville pork roll; it's not the best or cheapest pork roll, but it is very good, the sauces they use are excellent, and the quality is very consistent. I would rate this as a good quality/price ratio
Emporers cream bun things; I'm a mild fan, but again the price to quality ratio for this is high.
At the old Hunter Connection, there was a Thai place on the far wall when you'd walk in from George St; they did the BEST pad kee Mao I've ever had. Other dishes were good, but the PKM was insane. Like $12 I think?
The Naughty Chef Vietnamese underneath 255 George St (NAB Building?) was the same for their vermicelli bowl with pork
De Vita pizza in Manly, cooked by Italians in a woodfire pizza oven brought over from Naples
Costco hotdog + drink for $1.49; the hotdog is actually really, really good
Burger Head at Penrith, the first time I had this it blew my mind. Insanely good burgers
hand pulled noodles in China town, the one with the fake leaves on the wall inside. The braised eggplant from here is to die for. (Edit: this one https://maps.app.goo.gl/ExaNuMkmajKdPKpHA)
Any others you would recommend?
