Food Scene
Shanghai/Chinese food. Sister of the Taste of Shanghai chain. I'm still not quite sure why my mom prefers this place over Taste of Shanghai - the menu is the same. So either or - and Hurstville has both. Pan-fried baos and soup dumplings OBVIOUSLY.

Another great vietnamese bakery - closer to home. The OG pork roll is good, but isn't as mind-blowing as marrickville; but they do other protein fillings better. My favourite are the charsiu pork roll and the chicken crunchie roll.

Essential. I'm there too often. The address listed is the OG hole-in-wall joint, but they've opened a larger shopfront up the road (362 Illawarra Rd) that sells roast pork belly rolls (better quality meat/slighty higher pricepoint) - well worth it.

Devon Cafe
76 Devonshire StFlora Street Espresso
137 Flora StFamily run pizza joint so close to home. Its really great - and I will readily argue with any Sydneysider about how great it is - mostly because they likely haven't been. Also maybe because my palate for pizza isn't that refined yet. Who knows.
I love them except for the one night they forgot the pepperoni.

The local and the loveliest. My friend once convinced the bag boy Michael to call my name out over the loudspeaker during peak hour - so now he knows me by name.
