Have really enjoyed this Australian series - great work! ❤
I really enjoyed this journey through Chinatown, and I must say that it has more appeal at night with the lights. Paddy's Market has always been underwhelming for me as a local and especially now as it undergoes a renovation. I don't think there's any comparison to Perth as they are two totally different cities, with each having its own appeal. I love Perth and think of it more as a beautiful country town with a relaxed and layed back atmosphere. Sydney is a much older and unplanned city with a much faster pace and a beautiful harbour in which to relax and slow down. I hope you will return in the future and visit other states and territories to really appreciate the beauty and vastness of Australia and the friendliness of its people. I like to think that no matter how far you travel and what beauty you find along the way, there is no place like home.
Loving your walkabout vlogs , great seeing China Town and paddy's Market, keep these vlogs lee 😊
Yeah, Chinatown - other cuisines are available - is a lot bigger than Dixon St and Market City. I see so many vloggers never venture far from there. There is even a newer expansion to the west at Darling Square. You should have gone for Yum Cha. Get some of those chicken feet into you. The cost does add up if you aren't careful. And if anyone is wondering about the "Darling" name, as in Darling Harbour, it isn't anything to do with someones sweetheart, but General Sir Ralph Darling, who served as Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831.The indigenous name is 'Tumbalong', meaning a place where seafood is found. So, still a place for seafood, although a few more food options have been added to the menu since those days. Haymarket has been a market area since the 1820s. It was the main Sydney produce market, but that is now at Flemington. Paddy's was more of a local market for local people, but much more touristy now.
The guy in the background scoffing his rice 😂😂
He is eating rice in the traditional Chinese manner, which looks strange to us.
Lots of different numbers out there but UK average weekly wage £680 ($1,320). Australia average weekly wage £980 $1,900)
Another great vid Lee - it really feels like I am there with you! Keep 'em coming. Looking forward to the next one. Onward my friend.......😁👍🧠
Hey Lee, next time you see a 'FOR LEASE' sign grab a marker pen and write NAVIDAD underneath 😎
Oh Lee, you have no idea how big of a mistake it was to miss out on getting some of those Emperor's Cream Puffs that you walked past. Any local will be happy to tell you just how delicious they are and CHEAP.
I reckon they’re a bit ordinary really, the little cake shop next door has better stuff
The pork buns are to die for
Obviously Paddy's markets are under renovation with all that cyclone fencing up. You didn't go upstairs more levels of shops, factory clearance etc restaurants and a foodcourt.
Spent 7 months in Glebe in '92 while backpacking. Chinatown was our place for cheap food and Bobbys kebabs and the Pie shop on Glebe Point Rd. Loved Sydney, lots of laughs and great memories.
This has been a great trip ❤👍👍
I don't understand the youtubers' obsession with background music. What you are saying is interesting. I enjoy this format.
Thank you. 😎

Should've had half a dozen beers at the Covent Garden with us, Lee, before you tackled that food court feed. No doubt both of those dishes would've scored a lot better with a skin full.
It was a real joy to have had met you that day. Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job showing parts of Sydney to the world. I hope you come back again and see so much more one day.
Hey. Cheers mate. Was a pleasure to meet you both. Only wish I wasn't working. Coulda had a few beers with you. 🍺 🍺 🍺
have you ever eaten the same as the photograph? - never in my case and that includes Wimpey in the 70's
When we are in Sydney this is the food court that we always eat at. It would probably one of the better places to eat good food at reasonable prices.
Lovely video nice to see loads of food stalls and having a good browse around the market will score both food reviews 8.1 out of 10 onwards my friends 👍😀
My experience of Thai and Chinese restaurants, Thais usually make everything from fresh but Chinese cut corners and use frozen or tinned ingredients. Genuine Thai is usually better but more expensive. Not all Chinese do this and many are great if it’s done fresh
Yeah they also tip uneaten rice back into the main container in the kitchen and re sell it ...and don't think they don't.. they do in a lot of places ...it's money to them
Aussies get paid a bit more than twice the dollars than Brits get paid pounds too.....on average. Also, Australia ranks #4 in the world for purchasing power while Britain ranks #12.
Loving these videos of Sydney. Agree that the walk from Bondi to Coogee is worth the effort. Also another great choice for fish and chips would be Doyles at Watson Bay. They have a take away and Doyles on the beach is a great fish restaurant in the quality on your earlier visit to Garfish.
Really enjoying your visit to Sydney
I've really liked this series mate it's brilliant and thanks again. Onwards let's go
There is a reason that the English pound appears to be more valuable than the Australian dollar, it goes back to when our currency was changed. In Australia the 1pound became 2 dollars, the reason being that 1 shilling became 10c and was closer to matching the original values. Also the $2 coin is smaller than the $1 coin because the $1 came out first and it was better to make a smaller thick coin than a bigger thin one.
LEE - if you think that's a lot of fruit and veg in one place then you be absolutely blown away by Flemington Markets on a Saturday morning - it's at least 10 times bigger - and there's a huge flea market there too.
TRUE, YOU MEEET THE growers and farmers as well...
We always go to the Dixon's House food court when we're in Sydney, cheap and tasty Chinese food, one of the stalls is always very busy, that's the one to head for 😏. It's in Chinatown and you enter it from Hay St or Dixon St. Well worth a visit.
Closed
Where he went was Sussex St Food Court, Dixon closed
You’ve got to buy a hat with corks!
I wear factor 50. 👍🏼
Thank you, Thank you for the videos with NO Music on. So refreshing to be able to hear the background noises and your voice. I loath the use of it on films and TV when it is louder than the voices that you so desparately want to hear. Why it has to be on all the time and so loud I do not know. Thank you again.
Hard to go wrong round there Lee. Chinatown suffered hugely during the Covid lockdown but even today hasn't fully recovered ,maybe your video will bring them good luck and prosperity. There's also Flemington markets, Melbourne markets and Salamanca markets in Hobart - that's about as good as it gets, international tourists provides most their money. ❤
Get the silver fox in one those outfit in a VLOG
Food looked good plenty of beef and chicken nice walkabout in the market.👍
i prefer this type of blog
Get so spoiled going to Perth a lot to see my lovely sister it’s always clean xxxxx
this why a 99 is called - When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians. "So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a '99'." So, the ice cream is named after the Flake that goes in it, but why were Flakes chosen to add to ice cream cones?
Why there call 99 ice cream
Apparently it is so called because the majority of ice cream merchants in the fifties were Italian. The King of Italy had an elite bodyguard consisting of 99 men. So anything elite was called 99s by Italians. So they called the elite ice cream a 99.
Don't call it a 99er here! I did once as I licked at the soft serve with glee..... All the Aussies around me thought I was being naughty and referring to a 69er 😂
In 1922, a man called Stefano Arcari opened up an ice cream shop in Scotland at 99 Portobello High Street. He would apparently break a Flake in half and then place it in the ice cream to serve to his customers, taking inspiration from the shop's address for the ice cream's name...
What? No Mardi Gras video? Thought that’d be the next one.
Brilliant video lee.
Exchange rate: The British pound is so strong against the Australian dollar... not sure he knows how this works.
He is halving the prices shown to give a comparison to the British Pound, and that's the easiest way to do it .
As Aussie John said. I'm having it to give a comparison against the British Pound. I've mentioned its strong against the dollar numerous times throughout the series. 👍🏼
Good video Lee with so many choices you’re always gonna feel a little regretful.
Can I suggest a pub crawl video, you rarely do them, but really liked your Nashville pub crawl 👍🏻
Liked the walkabout and the market , and eateries.
Must be a lonely life for you at times Lee-hope you’re ok so far from home. Really loving the vlogs from Oz 😊
Off camera I'm sat editing the videos. No time for fun. 🎥🕶️🎬
@@TheMacMasterHe is a very busy man up most of the night editing all the vlogs that he has done . gets about 3 or 4hours kip and keeps working . never stops xx❤x
@@lynnerowlands5052 that’s my feeling too. He works so hard and his vlogs are just brilliant 😊
Authentic Chinese batter is made differently than the batter we use for fish. I have found that when you are eating something a little bit spicy, you need to eat the rice with it to help with the heat. If that is not enough, you need some milk to take away the burn.
Great video Lee and the food looked great and something for you to watch Harry’s garage I think you might like that one 👏👏👍👍
Was it good to discovery the place hats off to you?!
Thats the worst part of sydney. As a lifelong resident, no locals go there.
Love the casual format
why go to the other side of the world and STILL eat the only two Chinese dishes you ever eat? One of the world's great cusines reduced to two dishes. No point looking at a menu.
I agree. He’s disappointing with his food choices. You can tell his mum just cooked whatever his little heart desired 😂😂😂
Ya whinging pom. 😉
BTW, I never eat those dishes mi duck. Maybe the Braised Bulls Pen*s was more to your liking! lol
Lee mate you have confirmed my suspicions
the whinging Pom" is not a myth. LOL only joking Lee ,,I think LOL @@TheMacMaster
@@TheMacMaster it is actually. Who doesn't enjoying chowing down on a braised penis?
Whats with the sheets? A new thing that passed me by😂
Have a brillant time in Australia 🇦🇺
Great video. 👍 😂
New Tai yuen has been there since at least 1974. Always my favourite along with Marigold on Sussex Street but i dont know if its still there. Got to try Yum Cha which is normally from 11am.
Nah he’s more of a food court type of tourist. Not an adventurous palate.
They had Bulls Pen*s on the menu perfect for you Sydneysider
Meat and prawns all day, my go to buffet in China Town London 👍
Great video, I like both styles of video, that Chinatown would slay me, way too much choice lol.
Go down into the historic “ Rocks” area Lee, near the “;Overseas Passenger Terminal “ ( the Sydney Cruise Ship terminal, in Circular Quay). It’s the site of the 1st convict settlement, and has lots of little laneways that lead to some great eateries. Also while there, check out Sydney’s oldest Pub, “ The Fortune of War” Hotel in George St. The food there is great.
Too late he left Sydney some time last week. Unfortunately, too much time wasted filming fish and chips and Chinese menus rather than what’s really on offer.
@Sydneysider1310 Ah well, He will be back, so maybe on his next visit.😁
Maybe Sydneysider, stop yer moaning like an old bloke and watch tomorrow's video and you'll see I went to the Rocks!!!! Remind me not to invite you to a party. LOL x
@@TheMacMaster Oi! Just saw this. Am neither a moaner, old or a bloke. Was just wanting you to get the full experience.
Oh well, too late now. Still lovely and sunny, 30C here tomorrow ;)
Char siu fried cat 🐈 😂
Don't worry about coming from Mansfield you're as good as everybody else
@@barnowl.Yes there is .
We loved Paddy's market. Great experience and some good bartering 😅
Great tour of the food around Chinatown but to be honest Lee, you were spoilt for choice there. To the average person like me, it all looked superb and the variety was amazing. It is one place i would visit more than any other if i was where you are now. You will look back on that choice you had once you get back to Britain and i can see you in the near future somewhere like Rochdale or maybe even Blackpool with Steve and you will be wishing you had that same choice. You will be forever referring to your trip down under and salivating at all the dishes that you did not try. .. Great video once again.
Love this style of filming the vlog Lee, just as you and not The MacMaster although saying that I love both. Great walk around Chinatown in Sydney. Maybe if you’d waited for you Chinese meal you would have got better. The Lemon chicken looked ok but like you said over battered. That peppered beef and onions looked more preferable. A nice cool refreshing beer afterwards. Paddy’s Market looked a bit hyped up for tourists more like parts of Oxford Street in London. Overall great video.
As a Brit who emigrated to Sydney and now Briz 19 years ago, I’m enjoying this series. China town is fine but prefer Thai town and glad to see you stumbled across it. Thai food is much cheaper and better here than in the UK probably due to the large number of thai people and restaurants.
Thai food tends to require fresh tropical and subtropical plants in it. Which is easily grown in areas like Brisbane, not so much the case in the UK I bet ;).
@@scottw2317 yep agree. Plus we’re close to Thailand so makes sense
Good video Lee, much better when its just you matey, got to admit Perth looks a lot better then Sydney.
A green curry and rice in a Thai restaurant in Thailand will cost you about £2. Thai people don't eat a lot of green curry, masaman and I don't recall ever seeing a Thai eat Pad Thai. Their go to dishes are mainly pad krapow moo (£1 minced pork with rice and spices) and som tum ( £1 pappaya salad). Masaman although eaten sometimes in Thailand is originally from Malaysia. I like a masaman.
That the phrase was coined in Portobello, Scotland when Stephen Arcari, who opened a shop in 1922 at 99 Portobello High Street, would break a large 'Flake' in half and stick it in an ice cream.
We love ur videos like that. It's so much more natural and interesting. It's just like we are walking round with you Lee. Thankyou great entertainment.
This is an excellent vid for my family and I , as we are off to Sydney around Christmas 2024
You will enjoy your trip in my hometown of Sydney!! Chinatown is great, so is Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, and The Rocks!!
Where you ate is my favourite restaurant I love their Hot and Spicy Chicken (No.46) while you were eating the chef was sat behind you and kept looking at you great video we love visiting Sydney chinatown when we leave our home in Nelson Bay for a few nights away
Great episode. You made a rookie mistake eating in a food hall rather than more authentic little shops. Amazing how much Chinatown in Sydney looks like the one in Soho. 😂
@Gothic55 rubbish I've had some great food from food halls you have to be discretional as Lee was same as from the little authentic shops had crap and great. What he got looks great
I have eaten lamb's brain 🐑 Towards the end of the 80s, I was an apprentice chef at a hotel where we served lamb's brain as a night snack at a wedding. Of course I had to taste. It was a special texture but tasted good. Another great video 👍👌
Thanks for sharing that, you've put me right off me evening meal
Doesnt matter what style of video you do Lee, its the content that matters and yours is always top notch! im hungry again..
i wonder if you were anywhere near Oxford Street on saturday night? hmmm 😊
Always go where the people from that country eat,ie Chinese,Indian etc.
Try sweet and sour Cantonese style you won't go back to battered
Hey hun I have enjoyed this vlog thank you for showing us around China town . in Sydney I love it wen its just you and no music . its more relaxed thank.you ❤xxx
The chic at the end is a legend Aussie culture right there
Fried beansprouts are bl##dy delicious.😉
Hi Lee great vlog once more by the way its not art it's shite well it looked like it.😂❤
❤❤❤❤❤ Love my Chinese Food. yummy. looks like 9 for me.😊😊😊😊
You can get some cheap genuine imitation luxury items at Paddy's market.
Hope you enjoyed your ‘food Safari’, Sydney. 😊
Paddy's Market is great for souvenir shopping. Hats/ kangaroo/ Koala toys. You just don't pay the tax like you would elsewhere.
Hi Lee
If you do go and get a chinese meal check to see if they have DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM. I Know they do it in Queensland not sure about Sydney.
Ask your mate Andrew, I do mean ice cream and not Mars bars
Another good video, enjoyed this, loved the walk, thank for sharing 😊
Can’t believe that you ate in the food court when you were amongst so many amazing restaurants in China Town.
I started going to Dixon Street when I was four and my Grandad took me shopping at the Chinese Markets. He always brought home the fresh ingredients to make us a stir fry at home, and also bought us lots of treats, so I grew up eating things like Chun Piu Moi, Lup Cheong, liquorice flavoured prunes (my favourites of all the dried plums), White Rabbit candies, and char siu bao! I still treat myself to lup cheong and rice, best things ever! Dixon Street had two of my favourite restaurants, but looking at this video, I doubt they still exist, the families who owned them would be long gone by now, but they were simple eateries, like a big family kitchen with black and white tiled floors, free tea from the huge urn - just grab a clean glass and help yourself - and the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I miss those days!
Really, those food court are iconic. Not typical shopping foodcourt mate, these food courts are not for tourist locals eat them.
@@phunk8607 I know the exact food court seen in the clip, and whilst yes, it’s far better than your typical food court, it’s nowhere near the level of many restaurants within a stones throw of there. Having been a regular visitor to China Town for over 30 years, I’d be choosing a multitude of restaurants over that food court each and every time.
Sussex centre has fabulous laksa. So sad BBQ king closed 😢
Good to see your having something different Lee 👍.
Loving Sydney but at the moment Perth would get my vote.
Sydney harbour looks lovely but the city centre, not so good.
Looking forward to the next vlog.
From the Cadbury website: An Ice Cream served in a cone with a Flake 99 is the UK's favourite ice cream. In the days of the monarchy in Italy the King had an elite guard consisting of 99 soldiers. Subsequently anything really special or first class was known as "99". When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians. So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a "99".
Can’t beat 99🍦on a warm summers day
As you like food courts you should try the one in Perth its in the shopping mall between Murry and Hay St and get out of the city for a day up to Perth hills and go for a proper bush walk.
and watch out for the man-eating bushes! 🙂
It's melted - it's art - it looks like the solid bit that unexpectedly follows behind the release of gas! 🙂
Very mouth watering video now for those two dishes you had $36 very good and honey chicken yum l do like Chinese food but were l live there are not many Chinese food places
Love these kind definitely without the music more interesting my opinion.✔️👍💙
Great video, did you notice at the Chinese restaurants, you don't find salted chips & curry sauce in our restaurants
Yes an enjoyable stroll around Sydney was nice, I liked the market? The food you had looked ok, though too spicy for me I think.
I suppose you could ask them to cook you a less spicy version. Or just pick a less spicy menu item. I have eaten in that food court before, but not from the shop.
Much prefer this type of vid Lee
China town hack : Emporors puffs $5 , sugar cain juice $5 and crocodile bbq skewers $5
The food court just opposite the emperor's puff spot , head down stairs and eat till you cant move 😂😂
Wow! Such a selection of places to go Lee. Looked lovely. Spicy lol! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
thanks for the walk around china town Lee I must do that again soon no music for me
Highly recommend the food at Spice Alley, just a short walk away from paddys market on Broadway. Not in the China Town complex
Yeah, Spice Alley is a bang'n little spot for an awesome meal
With this vlog it seems more as though you're doing a live without the walkbys etc. That market looked more like markets used to be in the UK. Hope you didn't get too much after effects from that spicy beef.
Great video Lee, Love finding markets and food places like that abroad!
Some of the food there looked divine. And then there was the brains and tripe 😂
I thought your chicken and beef didn't look too bad at all. And credit to you for eating with chopsticks.
There's nothing to dislike your vids are great it takes me back in time to a certain program wish you were here nice one 😂
I know you will hate me for saying this but my favourite thing about this video was those cutie, cosy little baby UGGS!
Good video mate glad you tried different food looked nice
I do like the music ones. My type of music I suppose. I'm enjoying them anyhow, so lets go.
