Gadigal Avenue runs between Zetland and Waterloo procuring centres and has a bunch of principally Chinese language eating places, it has been one among our favorite restaurant strips throughout the zombie invasion.

Style of Nanking jumped out at us, cannot bear in mind going to a Nanking joint earlier than [edit: Shawn has forgotten about Noodle Pot (now closed) and their Nanking style dishes]. That is what we love most about Chinese language meals, we have been obsessive about it for years and we nonetheless discover new dishes galore. Sufficient jibber jabber, in we go…

The fit-out is kinda flash and spacious for a hole-in-the-wall.

Nanking noodle with braised jumbo meat ball in brown sauce – $14.80. Soup with an enormous rissole, depend us in.

Sadly there isn’t any outdoors eating for the Covid-paranoid alongside Gadigal Ave. Such a disgrace as it’s a huge large road with loads of room for outdoor tables. However there are a few small parks full with picnic tables. The park behind the primary road has a depraved slippery dip, oh how we want had been kiddies once more, playground swings had been far much less enjoyable and way more violent after we had been littlies.

Nanking noodle with signature pork intestines – $14.80. Pork intestines have grown from a curiosity to borderline obsession with us, they simply have this tremendous umami kick to them, and these are beauties.

Crayfish topping on steamed rice ( or noodle) – $16.80. The crayfish are like candy little prawnies flavoured with somewhat chili and Sichuan pepper. The crayfish are delish however it’s the pickled veggies that basically knock it out of the park. A humdinger of a dish.

Conventional duck and vermicelli soup – $14.80. An exquisite clear easy broth with numerous ducky bits – that is one for offal lovers.
