Fairfield NSW is one of the most multicultural places in all of Australia. So I wanted today's Best Cheap Eats Tour to showcase just how diverse the food actually is here! So many people from immigrant upbringings have called Fairfield City home at some stage of their life, and the food you can find here definitely reflects this. We try Balkan/Serbian, South American/Chilean, Iraqi/Assyrian, Filipino and Lao food today! And the last food we try is very interesting!
locations visited in Fairfield:
Tasic Hot Burek
/ meat burek $6
Paula Continental Cakes
/ chicken empanada $5.80
Happiness & Middle Eastern Food Catering
/ falafel sandwich in samoon $5
My Kababayan (previously Sans Rival Food Service)
/ ube flan cake $7
Lao Village
/ balut (baby duck egg) $4
I was going to feature two more shops to reach the $30 goal but unfortunately it got dark and they closed for the day. These shops were Fairfield Bakery (where you can get HUGE Iraqi flatbreads called khubz tannour for $1 a piece fresh out of the tandoor oven and samoon bread for 60c each) and Al Anwar Sweet & Pastries which sells Iraqi style sweets. Maybe on the next video! Who's up for a Best Cheap Eats in Fairfield Part 2???

You are by far the best food blogger and reviewer in Sydney. You actually go to all parts of Sydney and not just city areas. Its nice to see other suburbs, cultures and price points showcased in your videos and you also include the history of the shops as well which is just amazing. Love your work - please keep up with this unique content ❤️
When you grow up in the suburbs of Sydney, you know the deep cultural diversity and all the incredible food at our doorstep is absolutely the best part about living here! My goal for the channel is to help showcase this to the rest of the world! We have so many things to try and stories to share. Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to have people like you enjoy the content!!!
I know the very LAST one we ate can be a bit controversial to some, but it's a street food eaten widely in South East Asian countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, the Phillipines, Laos and Thailand. I'm Chinese Cambodian, so I ate it a couple times as a kid! If you haven't tried it before, would you try it? And if you have, what do you think of it?
In Vietnam they peel the duck embryo egg. They don't eat it as an Australian boiled egg.
If I was walking around Asia somewhere, stoned and extremely hungry I think I would,
if it smells nice and everybody is eating it.. why not ?
on the other hand sitting here comfortable in my warm house eating my Vegemite toast I would rather my egg with no embryo and a nice dippy yoke
Here in the philippines its a famous street food, we call it balut 😁 looking forward for more filipino cuisine.
Probably would never try it. I know Filipinos and I have seem eat it but no thanks. The only thing worst than is it like the pig blood jelly. Chicken Adobo is pretty epic though.
Hey, really enjoyed the video. Was in vietnam a few months ago and they served the fertilised duck egg as a side to a noodle soup - bun mam. It was so good i had 2. Thanks - i will go to fairfield.
Ahh so proud to see the quality of your content improve video after video!!! The cinematography, the transitions and editing. The little bits of social-cultural facts were so great as well. Great job to the team! And loved this video, huge supporter of your whole channel ethos. Keep up the great work guys 👍🏼
Thank you so much Isabelle! Really appreciate comments like these 😃 means a lot! Food is the language we all speak, and so it means so much to such a multicultural community like Fairfield. Hopefully many more videos to come!
Kevin you just brought back so much memories when you went to the falafel shop and where trying everything. I come from an Assyrian family and you reminded me of when I was a kid and was trying all these things for the first time. Keep up the content and this was a great video.

I love going to Fairfield. I come home with loads of shopping and eat way too much. Love, love the Iraquí bread and Paula’s. I had a chacarero there 2 weeks ago and O.M.G!!!❤❤❤❤
Whoa I used to lived in Fairfield since I was young & teenager..I should go back again eat there again ❤️
Absolutely!! Fairfield has only gotten more beautiful over the years!
Sofra kebabs opposite Granville station have great beef supreme pizza slice and chicken and cheese boreks!
Great video man. I go to Fairfield alot, but don't eat there much as I normally just eat around Cabramatta and canley vale/heights, but will try some of the places you've mentioned in this video. Keep up the great content 👍
Hope you enjoy mate! Thank you heaps for watching!!
I am getting hungry just watcing this.😄 I remember going to Paula's once with my sister bf once for a burger.
Thanks for watching! I should try the burger next time!
Mate that is truly the best Burek in Oz!
My culture...I once had a devon and sauce sambo that was 3 days old...but that nothing compared to Balut...wont be try that any time soon....love your Video's
Sydney food boy another great banger your videos have gone to another level my man, keep up the great work? Fairfield is the heart of western Sydney it’s very multicultural diverse amazing great food just keep working hard man I’m getting hungry 😋 🙏❤️💯
Thank you so much for the endless support mate! Means a lot to have you enjoy the videos :)
@@SydneyFoodBoy anytime my brother you deserve everything if you put in the work, I also enjoy eating different culture food brings us together ❤️🙏
I’m here before he becomes the next Mark Wiens, this guy is so humble and funny ! Awesome channel that I’ve just stumbled across.
Thanks so much mate! Means a lot! Nowhere near Mark Wiens yet (he's one of my inspirations) but would love to continue doing what he does and bring joy through food to the world! Thanks again for watching
Great video, keep it up
Thank you!! Will do 🙂
Bubbles and I finally got to try the falafels with the mango sauce; $ 6 is a bargain and does not let down on quality or taste. The Burek was tasty, and again, $7 is an absolute winner. We also found a 5.90 Shwarma, which topped us off…a belated thank you for this video. When are you coming back to Campise?
great video! i was born in fairfield but have no memory of the place at all. was good to see the places there, hope to visit one day.
Thank you so much mate! I'm sure a lot has changed since your time there! Hope you get the chance to visit again
you've found some more gems there Kev. Nice job....But, I cant do those eggs man! hahaha. I tried to eat a few in VN along with the beer can chickens. I admit that I struggled. My Japanese wife wants me to recommend to you "shio-kara" for the weird and wonderful flavour of Japan. Fermented and salted squid guts. (never again).
fermented salted squid guts LOL! I would actually try it, please ask her if she knows a place ;)
@@SydneyFoodBoy OK...you asked for it! She recommends an izakaya in Darlinghust called "Nom". She says its very authentic!!!
Man oh man, the one and only time I tried it (at a different location) was at the end of a lovely meal and it completely erased every pleasurable flavour from my mouth in a split second. Took ages to rid my mouth of the aftertaste too LOLOL. Id love to know if you do ever try it Kev ;)
You’re a star! Would love to go on a food tour with you
Maybe I should do guided food tours one day if I ever quite my full time job!
All the Moorebank chicken shops are great ,it just depends on how you want it cooked
I love the channel and look forward to trying some stuff out when I head out west , do you have any plans to head up north to the beaches
Maybe one day mate! But for now, there's a lot of work I plan to do around the area where I live!
Falafel Fairfield 😍😍
So gooood!
Mate, awesome episode!!! Love Fairfield, if you haven't been to Aladin sweets you have to try their Arabic coffee accompanied with their lady fingers aka znoud el sit, and check out Shandeez Restaurant for some Persian cuisine so good and really well priced!!! Love your channel mate!!!
Thanks so much Dan! I wanted to get to some Assyrian sweets so bad this episode but it got dark and all the businesses shut unfortunately! Will definitely in Part 2 if I get to it!
Shandeez sounds cool, what would you usually order there?
So I order the lamb shanks and the shish but, next time I go I'm thinking of being more adventurous and trying the traditional hoof soup and the Lentils with eggplant and dried lamb in a tomato sauce 😋
Blood pudding from Vietnam. I've not seen another culture eat this.
And I've always eaten Balut with a spoon.
Yeahhh the 2165! Next time you're in Fairfield you should try the Mexican restaurant Chololo near the station.
Tried Chololo back when they were just a backyard business! Someone tells me they changed ownership now
Not that great any more. The OG was the best
Yeahhh the hood
I grew up in the area and my teacher used to say: "FAIRFIELD, The cultural centre of the Universe" 😅
Easy to agree with your teacher!
I need to not watch your new vids at 1am, makes me hungry and want to stuff my face like a buffalo just before bed 😃
LOL!!
hey bro you need to try out fairfield noodle house, it's a northern chinese restaurant and they have really good hand pulled noodles. i recommend gettting the cold noodles mixed with beef it'll change your life
I saw that place! It's not far from the Police station hey
Went there yesterday and ordered this after reading your comment. Can confirm my life has been changed! 🤤
👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks family!
Burek 🤩
I love Burek!
I remember when this used to be a $20 challenge. It's gonna be a $50 challenge next year aye 🤣
LOL inflation hurting mate 🤣🤣
I wonder if Paula is the same owners as the Paula that used to be in Rosebery … they made GREAT empanadas ❤️😃
Not sure, but I can ask next time I see them!
Hit up Harris Park/Parramatta area if you ever going to do a South Asian food tour vid, make sure you try biryani at Dosa Hut Indian Restaurant in Harris Park.
In Hamilton street there is a south American butcher.
Try the Morcilla. Blood sausage.
It's the same principle as anchovies. You will love it or hate it.
Sounds AMAZING, will visit some time!
hi just to clarify about the amba sauce it's not the jar stuff that they used in the sandwich they do make it in house amba means mango in one of the Indian language and it came from over there to Iraq and they kind of changed it so it came in that pickled jar that you saw but Iraqis changed it and made it there own.
so in the Iraqi runny version it's basically ground fenugreek white vinegar and other spices.
Yes 100%! It's a very interesting sauce, though it stained my fingers like crazy LOL!
Thank you for the education on that Feras, awesome to know as well
I wish I lived closer 😭
Hello lovin' your channel
By the way did that duck egg have the baby duck in it in the video?
In the Philippines it's called balut penoy without the baby duck and balut with the duck I think 😊
It did have a baby duck but it was only small, no bones yet. I know they love it in the Philippines! Thank you so much for watching the channel!
Coming soon from interstate to Cabramatta and Marrickville. Do you know where I can get some egg coffee.
The Alley Vietnamese restaurant, Enmore and Cafe de Hanoi in the CBD do it, I've heard!
You can buy salat roll anywhere in Sydney Sydney for $4.50
what's salat!
Loved this video, I grew up in Fairfield in the 80's, have not been back there for many many years. I absolutely LOVE my Asian food above all else, but that duck egg 🤢🤮
LOL! Fairfield's changed a lot
Teaspoon all the way hahaha
TELL THEM 🤣
LOLL dying at the butt comment.
Can you please do a video of cantonese food in Eastwood - traditional Cantonese taste have the most authentic rice rolls (I’m Cantonese so can confirm it’s better and more authentic than all the yumcha places) and try Shunde goose at taste of shunde. Only place you can find goose in Sydney and really authentic!
Absolutely!! I wrote about Taste of Shunde on my Insta! We tried the roast goose and a heap of other dishes, but missed out on the fried milk unfortunately. Have been meaning to visit Traditional Cantonese Taste for a very long time!
hahahah “Flahn”! lol my people! So much eats for $30.
LOL!!! Let's eat Filo some time bro??
@@SydneyFoodBoy Lessss goo!! Will msg you soon.
Google says this place is in Nelson street, not Barbara, I want to go there Wednesday
Which place Carole? :)
@@SydneyFoodBoy the middle eastern place with those yummy falafel sandwiches
Good Luck that's a feat and a half with the rising prices these days
Mate Burek is eaten with yoghurt
I hear it goes awesome with buttermilk. I'll eat it with buttermilk next time I eat it for the channel!
Cheap? OK, than I have to save some money for the regular prices when visiting.
Yes, you do 🤣
good video
Thanks legend!
When it comes to chicken shops Moorebank > Liverpool
Which one's your fav?
Weird food? Horse, tenrec, wasp larvae, monkey, pigeon, deer.
Out of those, I've only tried pigeon!
Love your content, best food blogger by far. Keep it up Kevin!! If you haven't subscribed do it now, very entertaining and informative videos.😉😉
Thanks so much V! Appreciate you fam!
@@SydneyFoodBoy 🙏❤
Tried that burek place and I have to rate it 2/10.
Try ‘Burek bros’ on Bay st Rockdale.
It shits all over this place.
Have tried it twice from here and both times luckily got it fresh outta the oven, both times tasted great for me! Sure, I'll try Rockdale one day for ya
That balut thing is, sorry, disgusting and pitty
It's delicious with beer...
Can you please stop saying 'man' in your videos. As much as I appreciate a food blogger in Sydney, it's actually quite annoying.
Don't watch me if you find me annoying 😂 just how I speak so unfortunately no
😂
