It occurred to me recently that I don’t have a list of my favourite carbs in Sydney, which is almost ridiculous considering the name of my blog. I’ve kept my definition of carbs pretty loose in this case – it just needs to be the absolute hero of the dish. I’m also keeping it savory because…

Mr Wong, Sydney CBD
I’m a huge fan of Dan Hong’s style of cooking. Watching his #Shelfie series on ABC iview confirmed this further: he was throwing together random but delicious ingredients like instant noodles, corn chips, chilli oil, and kewpie mayo (well, not into one dish – though I feel like that could taste amazing).

It’s without fail one of my all time favorites in Sydney. And I still order the same dang things as that first time I went four years ago, though I’ve…
