Looking for the best Thai food in Sydney? Look no further than Khao Pla. There’s a bit of a theme going on here: spicy, innovative takes on classic Thai dishes paired with a whole lot of ‘90s hip hop. There’s nothing quite like eating twice cooked pork ribs, Southern Thai fried chicken, and chef’s take on steak tartare covered in crispy fried shallots and mint. Shop 7/370 Victoria Ave, T: +61 2 9412 4978

Need a reason to check out Chatswood Hello Kitty Diner? Here are a few to help: the décor (need I say more), the kimcheese fries (kimchi and mayonnaise sauce). The menu includes a Chur-style Korean chicken burger, a prawn burger, a pulled-pork burger with maple-glazed vanilla bacon, and a crispy salt and pepper tofu burger with eggplant jam. Even pancake or pretzel milkshake and sodas. 436 Victoria Ave, M: +61 421 820 820
