The Mandoo

Hello guys!!

I'm back...

I was so busy with works this past few years and so lazy to do blogging..

But now I have quite a lot free time, so here I am... writing my blog again..

I hope I can continue updating my blog.. fingercross

Moreover, I have a lot of places to write about restaurant in Sydney..

Stay tune guys..

Hopefully I can write about my trip to melbourne and hobart.. :)

I just went to this place last week because my sis is so crazy about korean food..

She just came here but she know about this restaurant..

Is located in Strathfield, super near Strathfield train station..

The place is so small, and the menu is not many..

Front menu

Back of the Menu

Beef Bone Noodle Soup (AUD 12)

The beef bone noodle soup just alright for me.. I like the texture of the noodle.

Free Kimchi

The kimchi is good to eat with the noodle, but not fermented enough, still quite hard.

Deep Fried Pork Dumpling - 5pcs (AUD 12)

Not a fan of deep fried dumpling, a bit oily.

Pork with Pork Dumplings - 4pcs (AUD 13)

This is my second favourite.. I love prawn, but the prawn in here a bit hard, maybe overcooked, but still good. Is one prawn on top of mince pork fillings.. Love it.. They will give you sauce and pickled radish for the dumplings.

Inside the prawn and pork dumplings

Kimchi and Pork Dumplings (AUD 12)

This is my favourite.. Actually the base of all the dumpling filling was same (pork), but this one they mix kimchi and pork as the filling which is really good. I love it.. the dumpling skin was thin and yummy..

I really recommend this place for their mandoo aka dumplings..

PappaRich

Iced Soya Milk Grass Jelly (AUD 4.50)

Pappa Char Koay Teow (AUD 12.50), this is wok-fried flat noodles with prawns, egg, and bean sprout.. The taste just so-so.. The flavor not as rich as the char kwe tweo in SG or Jakarta, but the plus point is the prawns is tasty and fresh..

Roti Bom (AUD 6.90), this is variant of roti canai, it is thicker and sweeter.. Served with condensed milk and sugar..

Roti Canai with Tandori Chicken (AUD 13.90), this is roti canai serve with Indian tandoori chicken..

Menya Noodle Bar - Emperor's Cream Puff

Karami Ramen / Chili Pork Mince (AUD 14.30), the broth is from soyu base and a bit thick.. This is not too spicy, even it is look very spicy.. I like it, very tasty, like the noodle too..

From Menya, we went to china town.. my friend's bf said that there is a yummy cream puff in china town, named Emperor's Cream Puff.. He says usually people queueing to buy that..

 

Cream Puff (AUD 0.30 - each), for me, this cream puff taste very ordinary, nothing special.. But because at that time the weather very cold, eating hot snack like this quite good.. Anw there is custard inside the puff.. This is freshly bake and really hot, be careful when you eat it..

This fillet pork katsu with rice, salad, and sauces..The fillet pork katsu is big, thin and crisp outside, like the sauces and the rice.. I enjoyed eating this dish.. but I like the jajang myeon more..

The pork is tender, but not that tasty.. and quite bland again for my liking..

Raw Beef Soup Noodle (HKD 68), I like the meat, thin and tender.. But the broth doesn't taste that good, it smell like chinese herbs or something.. 

Purple Sticky Rice (HKD 48), this sticky rice taste just okay, but the presentation is pretty.. :) Anw the picture credit to my lil sis.. She's the one who take the picture with her camera.. The coconut jelly picture also credit to her.. :)

Young Coconut Jelly (HKD 52), I like this coconut jelly, yummyy... Can taste the coconut flavor, serve with papaya.. 

Overall I don't really like the food that we choose this time, except the coconut jelly.. I prefer the food at the first visit.. I think we choose the wrong menu this time.. :'(
