Aussie Street Food and My List for Sydney City! / Avustralya Sokak Lezzetleri ve Benim Sehirdeki En’lerim!
When it comes to street food, I might refuse eating anything all day just to be able to have every bit of the city.
Sydney is one of the best places to eat street food, as it's a home to many different cultures and diversity.
Here’s a breakdown of where or what to eat depending on the food, and of course my preferences.
I am so excited, lets get started!
////
Eger sehirde bir gun tamamen disarida harcanaksa ben o gunlerde evde hicbir sey yemeyip kendimi tamamen sokak yemeklerine saklarim.
Sidney, bunu yapabilmenin en guzel oldugu yerlerden biri sanirim. Her yeni gelen kulturun kendi yemeklerini de getirdigi gocmen olarak gelip yerleşenlerin sayisinin fazla oldugu bir ulkeden bahsediyoruz sonuçta. Inanilmaz bir cesitlilik!
Boyle bir listeyi yapmak cok zor ama ben en genelden, benim sevdiklerimden de eleyerek cikardigim yeni bir listeyi paylasmaya calisacagim. Devami da gelir diye dusunuyorum.
Ben asiri heyecanlandim, haydi baslayalim!
Meat Pies / Etli Paylar
Crunchy, flaky and full of flavour, pies are one of the most famous street foods in Australia. Aussies love the meat pie but there are always vegetarian options. My favourite is chicken & leek!
////
Citir citir hamuru ve etli/ sebzeli dolgusuyla pay, Avustralya'nın en meshur sokak lezzetlerinden biri. Vejeteryan secenekleri de olmakla beraber benim en sevdigim saniyorum tavuk & pirasali olanlar!
2. Fish and Chips / Kizarmis Balik & Patates
Fish and Chips is something you have to try if you have never eaten in Sydney. I’m not talking about how delicious it is, but to me, its something that you have to try - It is also a very common in the UK and other Commonwealth countries where it’s also served and eaten as street food. An important culinary dish culturally.
I recommend the eating this at the Sydney Fish Market, where you can hand pick your own fish and have the chef cook it for you, nice and fresh! And beer battered:)
/////
Fish and Chips buralarin en ama en meşhurlarından biri. Ingiltere’de baslayip, Ingiltere’ye kulturel ve siyasal olarak bagli tum ulkelerde de ayni sekilde bir sokak lezzeti olarak kabul gormus. Hem bu ozelliginden, hem de tadindan oturu denenmesi gerekenler listesinde. Ben hepsini sevmekle birlikte, Sidney’in meshur Balik Pazari’nda taze pisirilip servis edilenleri tavsiye ederim. Bira marinesiyle yapilanina da bayilirim:)
3. Sausage Roll / Sosisli Rulolar
Sausages aren’t only for barbie aye mate?:) Aussies love their snags on a barbecue and they cook BBQs everywhere, (even at Bunnings, a local hardware store) but there is another way to enjoy sausages: Sausage Rolls. Almost everywhere, even the corner shops and petrol stations sell these savoury pastries and its eaten with barbecue or tomato (ketchup) sauce.
Sosisli Rulolar burada hemen her yerde bulunabilecek sokak yemeklerinden biri. Disi citir hamur kapli bu lezzet genellikle sicak servis edilip barbeku sosu veya ketcapla yeniliyor. Sosis Avustralya kulturunde onemli, mangalda da olmazsa olmazlardan biri!
4. Sushi (Asian Food)/ Susi- (Uzak Dogu Yemekleri )
When I need to get things done outside and need to have a quick, healthy snack, I directly go for sushi rolls. They are delicious, easy to reach, and very cheap!
And you’re spoiled for choices from tuna, crab, chicken or vegetarian.
///
Eger disarda bitirmem gereken bir is varsa ve aciktigimi hissetmeye basladiysam gozum hemen suşiyi arar Sidney’de. Saglikli, lezzetli, hizli ve ucuz susi minik durumler halinde atistirmalik olarak satilir elde yemek icin. Ustelik ton baliklidan, yengec etlisine, tavuktan vejeteryana kadar bircok secenegiyle!
5. Gozleme - Kebabs / Gozleme ve Doner Kebap
I was actually shocked when I first saw people in Sydney eating gozleme and doner kebabs and loving it! I can’t say I love the kebabs here but I definitely love gozleme.
All handmade, serve with lemon wedges, they managed to add flavours that are so suitable for an Australian palate such as; peri peri chicken, Mexican, or nutella & banana. My fav gozleme stall is the one at The Rocks (Turkish Gozleme at The Rocks). If you go there on a Saturday, you have to try it. You can thank me later:)
///
Avustralya’ya ilk geldiğimde ufak çaplı bir sok geçirmiştim insanlarin elindeki pizza kutularinin icinde gozleme gordugumde. Tabi döner kebap yerken de:) Doner icin ayni seyi maalesef söyleyemesem de gozlemelere ben de bayılıyorum. Hemen hepsi babaanne usulu, elde acma. İstanbul'da çoğu yer hazir yufka kullandigi icin benim sokak yemegi olarak bile gormedigim gozlemenin burada Meksika, Hint, Akdeniz ve klasik tatta olanlari mevcut. Ve baslarda cok yadirgadimsa da gözlemeyi üzerine limon sıkarak yiyorum artik:)
Cumartesi gunleri The Rocks’ta kurulan pazardaki gozlemeye de ayrica bayildigimi belirteyim.
From this point, I would like to continue sharing “My Favourite Food In The City”.
Bu genel hattini cizdigim yemeklerden sonra “Benim Sehir Merkezindeki En’lerim”i paylasmak istiyorum.
Bakalim Sidney’deki tatlar benim oldugu kadar sizin de gozlerinizi doyurabilecek mi?:)
Meat Lovers Skewers / Cin Usulu Sisler
I recently discovered this place, or rather, the smell pulled me inside while browsing around Chinatown:) I instantly got a sniffle of deliciously barbecued meat and wanted to try. It was tender and juicy. I picked wagyu skewers with chilli. It could be one of the best snacks while wandering around the city!
///
Burayi yaklasik bir ay once sehir merkezinde yururken kesfettim ya da koku beni oraya cekti diyeyim. Acili wagyu sis soyledik ve ben yumusakligina, etin hala sulu olusuna bayildim. Chinatown’a yakinsaniz muhakkak denenmeli!
Hot Star Large Fried Chicken/ Hot Star’in Kizarmis Tavugu
Do you like fried chicken? Then you will be addicted to this tiny and very famous Taiwanese place in the heart of the city. These crunchy, deep fried, seasoned and huge chicken pieces are exactly for the ones who love to eat street food in one hand while wandering around the city!
Kizarmis tavuk sevenler icin KFC’nin tahtini fena halde sallayan bir mekan Hot Star. Tayvan usulu kizartilip cesnilendirilen bu koca tavuk parcalari bagimlilik yaratacak kadar guzel! Bir de sadece take away olarak satildigi icin kocaman tavugunuz ve siz bir sehir turu yaparken kendinizi Sidney’de degil de Asya’da hissetmeniz cok daha mumkun:)
Marrickville Pork Roll - Bahn Mi / Vietnam Usulu Sandvic
Bahn mi! This Vietnamese sandwich is absolutely one of my favourites, although I don't like pate, this roll was an exception. Thinly sliced and pickled carrots, turnip, chilli, coriander, spring onions, sauce and marinated chicken or pork meat. I can smell it now! Definitely try one of Marrickville Pork Roll branches. You will love it, I promise!
////
Bahn mi benim en ama en sevdigim sokak lezzetlerinden biri. Incecik dilimlenmis havuc tursusu, ciger ezmesi (iyy demeyin normalde ben de hic sevmem:), turp, yesil sogan, taze kisnis, marine tavuk eti ve sosuyla harika bir Vietnam sandvici.
Ilk denedigimde asla sevmedigim taze kisnise bu sandvicin icinde ba-yi-li-yo-rum.
Hemen her yerde satiliyor bahn mi Sidney’de ama benim favorim Marrickville Pork Roll.
Desserts / Tatlilar - Emperor Puffs and Uncle Tetsu Tarts
Here is my weak point, desserts! Milky, puffy beauties on your way to the city. If you come by train to the city, just stop at Town Hall and visit Uncle Tetsu for their cheese tart, such an indulgence! I also tried the Japanese style cheesecake, but the tart is my favourite with its smooth texture of the cream and crumbly tart base.
If you’re looking for something even smaller, a sweet snack can be found in Dixon Street at Emperor’s Garden Cakes and Bakery in Chinatown. As you walk towards it, you will see people queued up for the puffs filled with custard. It’s freshly made, hot and delish. Also very cheap at 40c each or 5 for $2!
I will probably write another post for desserts only:)
////
Tatli benim hassas noktalarimdan biri bilindigi uzere ve Sidney’in sehir merkezinde aslinda iyi bilinen iki muhtesem yeri paylasmak istiyorum. Ilki Japon stili cheesecake ve harika tartlar yapan Uncle Tetsu. Benim favorim krem peynirli mini tarti ama cheesecake de hic fazla sekerli degil, paylasmak icin ideal.
Ikincisi de Emperor’s Garden Cakes and Bakery’nin krema dolgulu pufflari. Yazarken bile agzimi sulandiriyor ve su an sehre gidip sicak sicak yeme istegi uyandiriyor bende.
Bubble Tea / Populer Uzakdoğu Caylari
Although there are many countries serving and adding their own touch to this drink, Bubble Teas’ birthplace is Taiwan. According to Wikipedia, last year on the 30th April it was officially declared as “National Bubble Tea Day” in Taiwan! I am a huge fan of it. There are thousand of places to have bubble tea but the one I found in Chatswood is the best so far: The Ally LuJiaoXiang! Order the Brown Sugar Deerioca & Fresh Milk (I order mine with Soy milk).
They originated in Taiwan and are very particular about how they make the tapioca pearls. A must try!!!
////
Bu eksantrik caylari anlatmaya nereden baslasam nasil anlatsam tam bilememekle birlikte, ilk olarak Tayvan'da ortaya ciktigini ve diger ulkeleri de etkisi altina alip binlerce cesidinin uretilmesini sagladigini söyleyebiliriz. Ben bircogunu denedim ve sevdim. Ozellikle “pearl” adini verdikleri tapioca unundan yapilan yumusacik taneler olmadan içmiyorum cayimi:)
Cay, yesil, siyah, oolong gibi turlerden birini secip sevdiginiz tatlarla birlestirilip, icine de pearl, sut, yogurt veya bir suru farkli tat ekleniyor. Dedigim gibi konu uzun, ben en iyi kestirmeden en bayildigimi soyleyeyim : The Ally LuJiaoXiang!
Burasi Tayvan menseili ve pearl’leri ozel olarak yapiliyor, en kalitelisini burada tattim diyebilirim. Kesinlikle denenmeli.
Bonus: Coffee / Kahve
I still didn't get used to having coffee as a first thing in the morning but If you are living/ visiting -ugh I know not now!:) - in Australia you have to try Australian coffee. The baristas are brilliant at most of cafes. In the city there are lots of places, I might write about those one day too. But first the one I really really like: Kingswood Coffee in World Square. Do not miss it!
////
Ve kahve! Avustralya’da bu anlamda hakikaten iyi is cikariliyor. Hemen her yerde iyi baristalar var ve genelde kahve çeşidinden cok, kalitesine onem veriliyor. Bugunku sehir turumuzu yine sehir merkezinde olan harika bir kahve duragiyla sonlandiralim o halde: Kingswood Cafe.
Burada oturacak sandalye ve masa yok ama World Square’in kalbine konuslandirilmis banklarda oturup, sehrin durmayan gurultusunun icinde kendinizi iyi ellerden cikmis bir kahveyle odullendirebilirsiniz. :)
