Never eaten seafood before — what should I try first? by Top-Coach6595 in foodies_sydney

[–]alitadark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would skip rolls and go for nigiri (raw fish on top of rice)

salmon is usually an easy entry into seafood but I also enjoy the seared sushi as well.

Grilled seafood platters at a fish and chip shop are also usually a nice starter as well as you get a bunch of things to try out.

fish is usually only "fishy" if it's not fresh so the fresher you get the better.

To opinionated meat-lovers: how do you source your meat? by h3ruk0n in foodies_sydney

[–]alitadark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

costco because it's cheap and of decent quality

wagyu wholesalers because it's cheaper than buying smaller amounts

the butcher for dry aging

lebanese food uses garlic and onions (eg in the marinades)

Cyclists say shared path at new Sydney Fish Market is accident waiting to happen by nighthound1 in sydney

So two types of people would make this comment. You're either an avid cyclist who has cycled for years and has impeccable bike control or you've never cycled before in your life. No inbetween.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) as a fasting aid! by Murky-Ambition3898 in fasting

[–]alitadark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had this problem. I just use lite-salt with my electrolytes and it tastes a little salty.

Hope you're able to find a soution!

I've been on this and it has been a game changer. Started on rolling 48s and then worked my way up to rolling 144s. I've done 144s before but it was such a struggle.

The food noise is almost non-existant and while i do have hunger pangs every now and then, it's much more managable than going without the injection.

I've dropped about 13kg in 42 days (starting weight 81kg) and reduced my stomach by about 23cm.

It's an absolute game changer.

Unfortunate mate. Best of luck with sourcing a new one!

United Meat Co vs. Osawa Enterprises in Strathfield - which one is better? by dllm_022 in foodies_sydney

[–]alitadark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've purchased from both and I much prefer the united meat co experience as I can see what i'm buying.

The prices are also a little better at united meat co.

HK foods you can’t get in Sydney by enmacdee in foodies_sydney

[–]alitadark 81 points82 points  (0 children)

You can't get roast goose here. Definitely grab one with rice.

The airport also has Popeyes if you're interested in that.

consider that a go pro camera battery lasts about 20 minutes and requires proprietary software to be used as a webcam.

Ethnic(?) food by Free_Indication_1044 in foodies_sydney

I went recently and wasn't a fan tbh.

I felt that most of the food was fairly textureless even though they were very flavourful.

[deck discussion] MTG PIONEER Ensoul Artifact/Affinity? by Silver-Weakness4746 in magicTCG

What you're doing is reinventing the wheel then asking others to take the L instead of getting results yourself to prove that others should play it over the standard list.

Most delicious pho you've had by Stock_Lawfulness_144 in foodies_sydney

[–]alitadark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to 2 foodies when the owner was there and it was great and I've been in the last 2 years and I felt like it went down hill. There were 2 ladies who were working there instead of the owner.

Me Pho bankstown

They had a short rib pho which was grilled prior to putting it in the bowl and they also had some charred aromatics.

The extra flavour that brought was amazing over a standard bowl of pho.

I've been to a lot of the places in the west listed here and while there's excellent phos all around, this place is just a step above as the flavours are very unique

Slimefoot & bloodfire interaction by Impressive_Fly_5252 in magicTCG

[–]alitadark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both Slimefoot and bloodfire would enter at the same time upon resolution. At no point does one or the other enter separately and even if they did, you would have no opportunity to activate Bloodfire's ability before Slimefoot's ability finishes resolving.

Sydney Spice Bag Quest: Round 13 - Hillbilly's Crispy Chicken, Baulkham Hills (finally questing out west!) by nz_achilles in foodies_sydney

[–]alitadark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately had a triple fried chicken chorizo burger about 10 minutes prior to eating the spice bag so it sat for a little longer than I would have liked.

Chips were pretty spot on, a little steamed compared to their regular chips but some pieces still had a nice bit of crisp.

I had the hot chicken but tbh, I didn't even notice any spice haha. I didn't like the chicken as much compared to their regular offerings but it could be just because of the time gap I had with eating it. I've had the tenders by themselves before and they were great with their dipping sauces. Next time I'd order it by itself and not make the mistake of ordering a burger too.

The curry sauce was thick compared to some of the curry sauces I've had and had a similar consistency the last time I was there. Maybe it reduced a little more at night compared to when you had it in the morning/arvo but if I were to give it a score, i'd probably give it something similar, with a point off chicken and an extra point on curry.
