Life Advice: Do NOT leave Sydney without eating here 😭😭

This is No.1 on your Sydney must-eat list! Skip the fish market after landing—run straight here instead! Awarded a coveted chef’s hat 🎩 by The Sydney Morning Herald for three consecutive years, this Malaysian fusion gem (rated 4.5 on Google) is a local obsession. Prepare for insane queues during peak hours and a menu so exciting you’ll cry over FOMO 😭 The star? Meat feasts done RIGHT. Lobster, mud crab, sea urchin, foie gras, even crayfish—all reinvented with bold twists (way better than basic raw seafood!). 🔥 Must-try: Their Squid Game-themed black ink pasta 🦞 with half a LOBSTER (shown pre-cooking for drama!), garlic butter, Malay chili sauce, Spanish caviar, and Tasmanian sea urchin topping. Every bite is luxury. Lock these in your order: Maotai Crispy Duck: Crackling skin + boozy fragrance wrapped in pancakes = addiction. Smoked BBQ Pork Ribs: Thick, saucy, served with a smoky tableside ritual. Braised Abalone & Foie Gras: Uniquely decadent—nowhere else does this! New obsessions: Rendang-spiced bone marrow pancake (for marrow lovers) Malay-style smoked oysters Belacan stir-fried water spinach Locations matter! Haymarket: Casual, everyday vibes. Chatswood: Similar to Town Hall + afternoon tea. Town Hall (my go-to): Upscale seafood haven opposite QVB—perfect for gatherings. Impeccable service, ambiance, and dishes worth every cent. A true one-hat wonder with ZERO flaws. 📍 Ho Jiak Town Hall (opposite QVB) #100RestaurantsChallenge #SydneyMustEat #LocalFavorites #FoodieApproved #StudyAbroadEats #GlobalEats #SydneyFoodElite
