Johnny’s Po-Boys (New Orleans)

On our first morning in New Orleans, we went around the corner from our hotel at French Quarter to visit Johnny’s to sample the Po-Boy sandwich – a local specialty.

Breakfast was extremely good value (from an Australian point of view) where for just over 5 dollars there was a stack of 3 hot cakes which are as big as a dinner plate. I had an alligator sausage Po-Boy which had a very generous amount of meat inside a foot long baguette-like roll.

We didn’t eat again until dinner time.

Crave Sydney Night Noodle Market

We paid a visit to the annual Crave Sydney Noodle Market on an unusually warm evening. It was packed with the after-hour crowd when we arrived. Struggled to get a table, we started the evening off with my favourite pork belly with rice from La Mint. We also sampled a variety of dishes from Pad Thai, fish cakes to mini pan cakes. You will find the big queues at the familiar names such as Din Tai Fung and Mamak despite paying a premium for the food. It is worth going once a year given the atmosphere (I suppose?)
