- This is a video I've been really really REALLY excited to film since I started my TH-cam channel!
Today, we go on a tour of the BEST CHEAP EATS in Cabramatta. And yes, I mean cheap!
We buy as much as we can with a $20 note (Australian dollars!) in a suburb amazingly rich with Vietnamese, Cambodian, and South East Asian culture and heritage. I grew up in Cabramatta and have lived here my entire life, so I'm so excited to show you some flashbacks to childhood favourites, and some gems known mostly by the local community!

PART 2 OF BEST CHEAP EATS IN CABRAMATTA IS OUT NOW GUYS! Watch it here: th-cam.com/video/2Dye01ElGpc/w-d-xo.html 😁
Craving the red Lea chips now
Me all day 😜
Absolutely Red Lea chips with paprika
Loads of praprika seasoning. I remember it was so popular they took the shaker away and you had to be in the know to ask for it.
LOL! I remember that happening too 😂
honestly same 🤣
3:15 Gu Chai Gue!! A classic traditional Teochew delight! And yes pan fried is the way to go!!!
Yes!!! We on the same vibe Hayden 😜
Yessss and don’t forget the sweet fish sauce with it!!
Oh man. I grew up in Cabra and Red Lea is still a memory from my childhood. Thanks for the great video. I live in Japan now, so being able to see the foods I ate growing up gives me so much nostalgia.
From Cabra to Japan!!! That's amazing!! What are you doing over there? I'm so jealous!
@@SydneyFoodBoy I'm currently teaching at a private elementary school. If you ever make it to Nagoya, give me a yell and I'll show you the local food joints.
I grew up in Cabra and this video brought back so many good childhood memories. Loved how you described Red Lea chips, a pork roll and sugar cane as the holy trinity! So true! 😂 Growing up my mum would cook every day and made everything from scratch, but the only times we ever got “take out” for dinner was the BBQ meats from that shop in the alley! Can’t believe they’re still around! Love your content, keep up the great work mate!
Thanks so much for watching Jenna! I still think of this video as a little dedication to all the kids who grew up in Cabra like us 😁 glad it brought you back some memories!
This video popped up in my recommendations. Great potential and I actually enjoyed the content. It has been decades since I ventured out to Cabra. Good luck with your youtube channel. Love your work.
Thank you so much! Means a lot 🙏
Great video mate, 20 years ago when I was 20 we used to walk from Smithfield to Cabra to get all the yummy treats, glad to see the place is still the bomb! Was pretty dangerous back then but looks OK now, I'd love to go back and do the walk again some day, thanks for the great vid, just subscribed!
Hi guys! We made a sequel video!! Check out the BEST CHEAP EATS IN BURWOOD here: th-cam.com/video/PnCMzOs3RGk/w-d-xo.html
yesss bro putting our culture on the map. loved this video. keep up the quality content
Thanks brother 😁
From a white boy, this is wholesome af
They probably very old fashioned
I don't live in Sydney now, but I lived in and around Cabramatta for the best part of 30 years. An absolutely awesome place. My wife and I could eat breakfast, sharing one meal, in BKK plaza for $13. Freshest seafood was in the alley between John St. and the multi-story carpark. The only downside was trying to find parking - get there before 08:30 or win the lotto.
Still easier to win the lotto 😜 just kidding! Thanks for the comment Brett, Cabramatta misses you as much as you miss Cabramatta!
rewatching some of your videos, they are so good!
Love this! Thanks for sharing all these great places!!!
Hey it's you! Thank you for watching 🙂
I honestly love your videos! .
It would be great if you do budget vids in other suburbs in Sydney.
I miss cabra and I definitely coming back soon ! Keep up the good work, it's very entertaining:)
Thanks so much Julie 😁 it's on my radar! I like doing the cheap eats because I can actually afford it LOL so that means a lot of others can go out and try the foods themselves!

Welcome to Sydney Carly 😁😁
Yessssss!! Always a must @ Cabra - Banh mi & Red Lea chips!!
You know the go 😜
So glad that Sydneyfoodboy was posted on the Bahn mi appreciation FB page .....this guy is a must do subscription...GET ON IT
Means a lot, thank you so much!
That's how I found him and now catching up on everything
Loved the video! My Mrs is Thai and we always hit up the first Thai/Lao place for papaya salad (spicy!). There’s also a great place in the plaza for Thai sweets; sticky rice, custard etc. Side note: the avocado shakes in Cabra and amazing
Would def have thrown in an avocado shake If budget permitted 😜 and yeah I know the place! Awesome Thai lao food there inside
Thanks for such a great video!! Cabramatta is my station I get off at to come home. Definitely has amazing food there. More places to try now!!
The Hot bread place does the best rolls!!
Yess! This videos for my locals, we live in a beautiful place 🙂
Love Cabramatta. My go to place.
Proud to live here!
Omg so nostalgic! Used to live in Canberra and drive up to Sydney all the time. I remember the chicken chips and chips from that chicken store. So delicious. I also remember we used to get mee ka tang kreung somot from a restaurant somewhere in Cabramatta but when we went back a while ago it was closed down :( Great video though, will definitely hit these spots whenever I’m back in Sydney!
If you ever find that Mee again, let me know!
I was only a kid 45 years ago growing up near Cabramatta... The transformation started in the late 70's... I cannot believe it's still called John St? But the food looks great. The people are genuinely friendly. Looking forward to visit and a beaut feed 👍
Definitely take a trip down memory lane soon Steve! I've seen photos of Cabramatta back then, the transformation is amazing!
Absolutely 100% on point with all those shops .....as a kid, my mum would always visit red lea and get the chips with paprika and chicken salt , then the pork roll with extra butter and pate by the shop up the top of the street. Even 1am visits to that pork roll shop were common for me and mates.....god damn lol
All the locals know the go!
Agreed! Those were the best places for egg tarts and pork rolls in Cabra!
Great minds think alike 😜 thanks heaps for watching!
Loved this video 🔥
Thanks for watching ❤️
I used to live in Sydney, so watching this makes me so homesick!! great video!!
Thank you so much! Come home soon 😜
Nice vid bro keep them coming 👍
Thanks brother! Big shout out to the camera man on this one, he's a king
My goodness cabra was always my hang out place and will always go there for food lol..thanks for the video. Cabra has changed big time.
Glad I showed you some good mems 😁
From a senior migrant: Just too far to go there. U can go to Burwood and Campsie instead. Food is great and cheap. Today Asian food is everywhere. When I landed in Sydney in 1966 it cost me A$1 to buy a good Chinese meal. The meal was so big that it can feed 2-3 people. I worked 1 night and earned $5. My sister had a Dim Sim restaurant in George St. China town and u had to wait for sometimes 1-2 hours before managing to get in. She made A$30,000 a week. An average worker at that time made $60 a week. Those good times are gone!! Bad luck u are under now a mean government. In those days life was really good. Houses cost $30,000 to buy. Everything is free. My school gave me a ticket to travel free and that includes bus, train, ferry. All my textbooks and stationery are free. Education is free and all the way to PhD. Medical course is free. Now it costs up to $85,000 a year. Australia is now heavy in tax, heavy in traffic fines, food is so expensive that u want to cry. U have police raptor 13 who attacked foreigners. He hated Chinese. Australians racism surfaces under Scott Morrison and Pauline Hensen and his foreign minsters. Vietnam is good now, go home. China is good now, go home.
Awesome video bro, Cabramatta represent! Cheap but quality eats in Cabramatta.
100%, thanks heaps bro!
Great vid, Kev! Love how much you got for $20! I grew up eating Cabra Red Lea hot chips and I am much older than you! 😝 It is definitely an institution. keep up the great reviews, one day I will get to one of your recommendations! , Lien 🤩
Thanks so much for watching Lien 😁

All the snack look yummy and price-friendly too I Food Leveling
Thanks for watching 😁
Looking forward to hitting cabramatta. Great show mate. Just subbed..
Thanks so much Gav!
Would love it if you could go through the best places to eat in each of the different suburbs on a budget. Im from Newcastle and will definitely go and get those egg tarts . Thanks heaps!
Will be a lot of work but I'll get there one day 😅 would love to
I always have the basil and sprouts with some actual chilli, then sa te on the side and hoisin with chilli sauce. Always get the special pho. I have come to love tendon. I went to one place and the tendon was so soft it melted! Mmmmm
Yum yum yum. I worked in Cabramatta and would program my day around my meals 😅😅. Best food! ❤
Cabramatta used to be the scariest place in Sydney late 1999. Now i can see so much safer good job my asian brother
Thanks bro 🙂 I'm proud to have grown up alongside Cabra. It's much different now to what it was when I was a child apparently!
I don't wanna click "like", I wanna click "love" ! great informative video :)
Im going to Cabra this afternoon after seeing this lol
Great video bro. Subscribed!!
Thank you so much Eden !
The food you are eating looks delicious. The food on the selves look yummy too.
Thank you so much for watching!!
I can't believe (after 35 odd years) they're still famous for their chips. I love how the Red Lea name is still there... only faded. Was there last weekend, that sign brought back good, classic memories.
Growing up in Cabramatta for you 😜 nostalgia at its finest
@@SydneyFoodBoy was the first place I experienced the joy of Chicken Salt OMG... good work keep it up 👍
I love this video you did an amazing job with the cheap eats A&A bakery❤️ is one of my favourite and the other picks are the best too ..Hope you do more on Cabramatta food and cheap eats too ..x👌😊
Thanks so much Irena! More Cabramatta food tours in the works (maybe when I have a bit more money to spend 😜)
Your welcome and I know what your saying lol it’s get expensive 😊
After watching your video I *finally* went to Cabramatta for the 1st time (embarrassingly after living in Sydney for 24 years had never been before) - the Pandian & Coconut waffles are awesome! Tried quite a number of different dishes at several places - I shouldn’t have gone on a Friday evening though, and many of the “street food” style stalls were already closing and the Bahn Mi place with the Crispy Pork had already run out of roast pork. Thanks for the recommendations!
Wow! So awesome. Thanks so much for heading out to Cabramatta and giving some a try. Hopefully you'll find more great food in Cabra once you go again Ian!
@@SydneyFoodBoy What would your recommendation for day/time be for most food options in Cabramatta? I think my choice of Friday evening was not the best, many places were closing down.
@@SydneyFoodBoy Can i suggest a Strathfield Food Tour if you’re looking for new vid suggestions! “Butchers Buffet” all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ is one of my favourites, and “MrHotDog” right next door too.
Another idea would be Ashfield: Pork Moon Cakes from “New Shanghai Workshop”, Ramen from “Kujira” and Pork Chop Burger and dumplings/buns from “QW HuaXing Bakery” (all on Liverpool Rd within 200m of each other) are some of my favourites.
Any weekday lunch should be ok! Weekend lunch it's packed
YesSiRr!! Bloody ouaFF!! Lol!! 100%👍👍👍& suBB! Gotta support the Locals!! Haha! Mate that was very interesting, informative and very entertaining! Awesome stuff! Love it when TH-cam gets it right wit the Recommendations. Look forward to More adventures... Thanks for sharing Big Fella.. Stay Bless and Stay Safe out there!!
Thanks so much for watching brother!
love your videos man. moving to Sydney soon and these vids have got me very excited 😁
Thanks heaps bro 😁 where you coming from?
@@SydneyFoodBoy coming down from Brissy at the end of the year 👍
I hear the weather's not as nice here, but hopefully the food is better 😜
@@SydneyFoodBoy based on your vids, it certainly is 😂
Great & Informative Vlog 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching!!
Watching this in lockdown down in melb, salivating. Def going to Cabramatta syd when i can next 😬
Hope Melb gets out of lockdown soon! Can't believe it keeps happening
Definitely will follow your recommendation..love ur video
Thank you Julia 🙂
Oh lordy, Red Lea chips + maximum amount of the red salt was such a tradition after school. They also fry the chips to an extreme crisp which I really love.
LOL yes the high school tradition. We grew up the Same way 😜
Thankyou for this video! I live in london now and I’m finally visiting home after two years of pandemic lockdowns 🥳 This has has brought back a lot of childhood memories and has prepared me gastronomically for my trip down memory lane to Cabra. Good to know good food there still remains cheap and affordable - SE Asian food in London is depressing lol
Did you grow up in Cabramatta Katrina!
Red Lea chicken × Chips is the 💣 Bro...NICE vlog!
Love those foil bags they ya,make it more special ..teenage memories
Hi Kev, not sure if you remember me but I enjoy watching your videos and seeing your adventures on insta. Keep it up ☺️
Hey Joanne! Of course I do. Hope you're doing well 😁 thanks for watching!
I just found your channel and I hope it grows. I grew up in Perth WA in Marangaroo/Girrawheen and we had many Vietnamese in our suburbs.
Thank you so much Andrew! Appreciate it 🙂 first I've heard of those suburbs, would love to visit there some day
YES SIR,, so going cabra next week
Enjoy 🙂
I'm Polynesian so taro is always savoury for us. Love this video and love Cabra, this has given me new spots to try
Was thinking about all my Polynesians and Hawaiians out there when I asked that question! I remember eating heaps of traditional taro dishes when I was visiting my family in Hawaii
@@SydneyFoodBoy well if you wanna do a Polynesian food video haha. Please check out Mamas poly soulfood - in Minto across from the train station, and also Heckenberg has some poly street food they sell also the owners of Mama Phan own a shop in heckenberg that specialise in Polynesian food - also check out Lakemba - for Tongan and cook island food and lastly - Palms pacific shop - either in bidwill or glenquarie. And chakas bbq.
Oh hell yeah, definitely checking all of those out. What food do you recommend buying?
@@SydneyFoodBoy you can try Sapasui - chopsuey, Keke puaa - pork buns like the chinese pork buns, luau & & taro & oka. i also forgot to mention a fijian restaraunt called Island Feast - in warwick farm - that specialises in traditional underground cooking = Umu - fijian style.
Mamas poly soulfood - is home to lots of these things if your interested in trying whatever - as well as pies & famous donuts.
Noted. I've been so keen to try that stuff in Sydney but had no idea where! Thanks for the tips 🙂 I'll probably do some writing about it on Instagram before I do a TH-cam video about it!
you are making me hungry great video luv your smile and awesum content.
Thanks heaps mate!
Thanks for the video bud!
Thanks for watching Roy!
YASSSS KEV!!! THE VIDEO WE BEEN WAITING FOR 🙌🏻
Welcome back to Sydney 😁😁😁
It’s spelt “YASS”, a town 3 hours south west of Sydney. You should brush up on your basic spelling and perhaps geography as well.
Broooo great video!! Ahhh I love Laos food!! 🤤🤤
Anna! How are you 😁
@@SydneyFoodBoy I’m doing good! I’m finally finding a routine to balance my job, YT & personal life. Congrats on 100k views, that’s big man!! Keep them coming 😃
Thanks heaps Anna! Glad you found that routine 😜 hope to see more videos from you soon!
yessirr

Thanks heaps 😁
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Peter!
Sugarcane juice is the bomb! Thanks for the content man - fellow Sydney-sider :)
Thanks heaps for watching Andrew 😁
Been to Cabra for few times but I haven’t tried Red Lea yet. omgosh looks yummy 🤤
Always good for a snack before the real food begins 😜
Hey champion, love your stuff. Would be nice to see you hit the fringes of Cabra as well. Canley Vale has always had some great little joints and Canley Heights has kicked off since they added the automatic dunny and cameras. The Lao food in Canley Heights is to die for and the Cafes are great for people looking for something to do at night. Keep up the good work.
Hey Guy! Im actually from Canley so definitely on the agenda one day mate 🙂🙂 thanks heaps!
Nice a litte food Tour 🥰🥰🥰🙂
Early 90’s I Loved number 37 noodle dish Hokkien me with chilli paste chilli. Just noodles chicken and bulk chow. Yum o. And that chilli was sooo good. In the food hall.And the ietnamese rolls around the corner.
Oh mate that sounds incredible. What a memory! Are the restaurants the same?
Cabramatta is the BEST for cheap food 😍😍😍
Some prices out here still in the early 2000s 👀
Went there on Christmas day 2008 was definitely the place to be so much food on offer in a small place compared to the rest of Sydney being closed
Love ya cabbie
Cabra is beautiful isn't it!
Singaporean Hainanese fella coming across your vlog! Oh and I speak Teochew because that's my Mom's dialect group (can't speak Hainanese though). Love the wide variety of food featured here. Subscribed to your channel instantly! Hope to visit Sydney after the pandemic!
Hello! Thanks for subbing. I have family in Singapore, i've always thought of living there short term. I did a big food trip there in 2019 and it was the inspiration for my blogging and vlogging 🙂
@@SydneyFoodBoy awesome that you got inspired by the cuisine here in Singapore! Do drop by again!
This is gods own work- highlighting sick joints around our local neighbourhoods.
What it's all about at the end of the day 🙂
Yes , Cabramatta is the best food & fruits to eat😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Dad used to work at a fruit shop in Cabramatta back in the day!
Man, that chicken looked delicious! I’ll have to visit Cabramatta next time I’m in Sydney 😄
Definitely should 😜
I remember always like to eat Chicken rolls bread at the bread store outside Woolworths and near Cabramatta Station. Suddenly see your channels and really miss the days I studied there. Hope after covid I can visits Cabra again to get back my 2 years time there.
Come again soon bro 😁
Man I love your video's Kevin!!! I'm going to go on a Sydney food boy pilgrimage and retrace your steps hehehe😋✌️
You're awesome Simon! Enjoy 😜
