Have really enjoyed this Australian series - great work! ❤
Loving your walkabout vlogs , great seeing China Town and paddy's Market, keep these vlogs lee 😊
I really enjoyed this journey through Chinatown, and I must say that it has more appeal at night with the lights. Paddy's Market has always been underwhelming for me as a local and especially now as it undergoes a renovation. I don't think there's any comparison to Perth as they are two totally different cities, with each having its own appeal. I love Perth and think of it more as a beautiful country town with a relaxed and layed back atmosphere. Sydney is a much older and unplanned city with a much faster pace and a beautiful harbour in which to relax and slow down. I hope you will return in the future and visit other states and territories to really appreciate the beauty and vastness of Australia and the friendliness of its people. I like to think that no matter how far you travel and what beauty you find along the way, there is no place like home.
This has been a great trip ❤👍👍
Another great vid Lee - it really feels like I am there with you! Keep 'em coming. Looking forward to the next one. Onward my friend.......😁👍🧠
Hey Lee, next time you see a 'FOR LEASE' sign grab a marker pen and write NAVIDAD underneath 😎
Yeah, Chinatown - other cuisines are available - is a lot bigger than Dixon St and Market City. I see so many vloggers never venture far from there. There is even a newer expansion to the west at Darling Square. You should have gone for Yum Cha. Get some of those chicken feet into you. The cost does add up if you aren't careful. And if anyone is wondering about the "Darling" name, as in Darling Harbour, it isn't anything to do with someones sweetheart, but General Sir Ralph Darling, who served as Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831.The indigenous name is 'Tumbalong', meaning a place where seafood is found. So, still a place for seafood, although a few more food options have been added to the menu since those days. Haymarket has been a market area since the 1820s. It was the main Sydney produce market, but that is now at Flemington. Paddy's was more of a local market for local people, but much more touristy now.
Really enjoying your visit to Sydney
Lovely video nice to see loads of food stalls and having a good browse around the market will score both food reviews 8.1 out of 10 onwards my friends 👍😀
Should've had half a dozen beers at the Covent Garden with us, Lee, before you tackled that food court feed. No doubt both of those dishes would've scored a lot better with a skin full.
It was a real joy to have had met you that day. Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job showing parts of Sydney to the world. I hope you come back again and see so much more one day.
Hey. Cheers mate. Was a pleasure to meet you both. Only wish I wasn't working. Coulda had a few beers with you. 🍺 🍺 🍺
The guy in the background scoffing his rice 😂😂
He is eating rice in the traditional Chinese manner, which looks strange to us.
Another good video, enjoyed this, loved the walk, thank for sharing 😊
Spent 7 months in Glebe in '92 while backpacking. Chinatown was our place for cheap food and Bobbys kebabs and the Pie shop on Glebe Point Rd. Loved Sydney, lots of laughs and great memories.
I've really liked this series mate it's brilliant and thanks again. Onwards let's go
Brilliant video lee.
Love the casual format
have you ever eaten the same as the photograph? - never in my case and that includes Wimpey in the 70's
Lots of different numbers out there but UK average weekly wage £680 ($1,320). Australia average weekly wage £980 $1,900)
Oh Lee, you have no idea how big of a mistake it was to miss out on getting some of those Emperor's Cream Puffs that you walked past. Any local will be happy to tell you just how delicious they are and CHEAP.
I reckon they’re a bit ordinary really, the little cake shop next door has better stuff
The pork buns are to die for
Loving these videos of Sydney. Agree that the walk from Bondi to Coogee is worth the effort. Also another great choice for fish and chips would be Doyles at Watson Bay. They have a take away and Doyles on the beach is a great fish restaurant in the quality on your earlier visit to Garfish.
i prefer this type of blog
Great video Lee, Love finding markets and food places like that abroad!
Obviously Paddy's markets are under renovation with all that cyclone fencing up. You didn't go upstairs more levels of shops, factory clearance etc restaurants and a foodcourt.
Liked the walkabout and the market , and eateries.
Love you Lee, great vlog as usual
When we are in Sydney this is the food court that we always eat at. It would probably one of the better places to eat good food at reasonable prices.
Great walk about pal 👍
Good video mate glad you tried different food looked nice
Great video thank you
Great video. 👍 😂
Have a brillant time in Australia 🇦🇺
We always go to the Dixon's House food court when we're in Sydney, cheap and tasty Chinese food, one of the stalls is always very busy, that's the one to head for 😏. It's in Chinatown and you enter it from Hay St or Dixon St. Well worth a visit.
Closed
Great video, thanks 👍✅
Food looked good plenty of beef and chicken nice walkabout in the market.👍
Good video Lee with so many choices you’re always gonna feel a little regretful.
Can I suggest a pub crawl video, you rarely do them, but really liked your Nashville pub crawl 👍🏻
We love ur videos like that. It's so much more natural and interesting. It's just like we are walking round with you Lee. Thankyou great entertainment.
Was it good to discovery the place hats off to you?!
LEE - if you think that's a lot of fruit and veg in one place then you be absolutely blown away by Flemington Markets on a Saturday morning - it's at least 10 times bigger - and there's a huge flea market there too.
TRUE, YOU MEEET THE growers and farmers as well...
Great video Lee and the food looked great and something for you to watch Harry’s garage I think you might like that one 👏👏👍👍
very interesting vlog lee
Thank you, Thank you for the videos with NO Music on. So refreshing to be able to hear the background noises and your voice. I loath the use of it on films and TV when it is louder than the voices that you so desparately want to hear. Why it has to be on all the time and so loud I do not know. Thank you again.
Get so spoiled going to Perth a lot to see my lovely sister it’s always clean xxxxx
Another great video Lee, relaxing to watch, yes i do prefer these types of video, you get the atmosphere of the place.
china town looked great, i actually liked that market as i would have been buying Sydney souvineers 😊
You’ve got to buy a hat with corks!
I wear factor 50. 👍🏼
Wow! Such a selection of places to go Lee. Looked lovely. Spicy lol! 🥰☀️🥰xxx
Hey hun I have enjoyed this vlog thank you for showing us around China town . in Sydney I love it wen its just you and no music . its more relaxed thank.you ❤xxx
Whats with the sheets? A new thing that passed me by😂
Get the silver fox in one those outfit in a VLOG
Hard to go wrong round there Lee. Chinatown suffered hugely during the Covid lockdown but even today hasn't fully recovered ,maybe your video will bring them good luck and prosperity. There's also Flemington markets, Melbourne markets and Salamanca markets in Hobart - that's about as good as it gets, international tourists provides most their money. ❤
Relaxed style a winner in my book. All vlogs enjoyable.
Lee love this style of video much more relaxed and informative., no need for music in your videos. Keep them coming.
The food looked delicious 👍👍
That food court food looks really good...
We loved Paddy's market. Great experience and some good bartering 😅
Great video, I like both styles of video, that Chinatown would slay me, way too much choice lol.
This is an excellent vid for my family and I , as we are off to Sydney around Christmas 2024
You will enjoy your trip in my hometown of Sydney!! Chinatown is great, so is Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, and The Rocks!!
There is a reason that the English pound appears to be more valuable than the Australian dollar, it goes back to when our currency was changed. In Australia the 1pound became 2 dollars, the reason being that 1 shilling became 10c and was closer to matching the original values. Also the $2 coin is smaller than the $1 coin because the $1 came out first and it was better to make a smaller thick coin than a bigger thin one.
What? No Mardi Gras video? Thought that’d be the next one.
My experience of Thai and Chinese restaurants, Thais usually make everything from fresh but Chinese cut corners and use frozen or tinned ingredients. Genuine Thai is usually better but more expensive. Not all Chinese do this and many are great if it’s done fresh
Yeah they also tip uneaten rice back into the main container in the kitchen and re sell it ...and don't think they don't.. they do in a lot of places ...it's money to them
I don't understand the youtubers' obsession with background music. What you are saying is interesting. I enjoy this format.
Thank you. 😎
copyright issues
Love this style of filming the vlog Lee, just as you and not The MacMaster although saying that I love both. Great walk around Chinatown in Sydney. Maybe if you’d waited for you Chinese meal you would have got better. The Lemon chicken looked ok but like you said over battered. That peppered beef and onions looked more preferable. A nice cool refreshing beer afterwards. Paddy’s Market looked a bit hyped up for tourists more like parts of Oxford Street in London. Overall great video.
Hope you enjoyed your ‘food Safari’, Sydney. 😊
thanks for the walk around china town Lee I must do that again soon no music for me
Char siu fried cat 🐈 😂
Fried beansprouts are bl##dy delicious.😉
Aussies get paid a bit more than twice the dollars than Brits get paid pounds too.....on average. Also, Australia ranks #4 in the world for purchasing power while Britain ranks #12.
Hi Lee, loved the video! Especially going into the market. Perth and Sydney, very different cities, different vibes. Sydney seems so crowded compared to Perth.
Question: Did you buy the hat?
Meat and prawns all day, my go to buffet in China Town London 👍
Great tour of the food around Chinatown but to be honest Lee, you were spoilt for choice there. To the average person like me, it all looked superb and the variety was amazing. It is one place i would visit more than any other if i was where you are now. You will look back on that choice you had once you get back to Britain and i can see you in the near future somewhere like Rochdale or maybe even Blackpool with Steve and you will be wishing you had that same choice. You will be forever referring to your trip down under and salivating at all the dishes that you did not try. .. Great video once again.
I look forward to see your summer series in Europe also glad your going new places Fuerteventura is a must missing your Spanish vlogs lol
The chic at the end is a legend Aussie culture right there
I remember OK sauce as a brown table sauce in a similar style and packaging to HP, there was Daddies sauce too which also showed up on the table from time to time when I was a kid.
I thought your food choices were spot on, exactly what I was shouting to you / the screen! LOL
Doesnt matter what style of video you do Lee, its the content that matters and yours is always top notch! im hungry again..
i wonder if you were anywhere near Oxford Street on saturday night? hmmm 😊
Some great art galleries in Brisbane, worth a visit Lee
Authentic Chinese batter is made differently than the batter we use for fish. I have found that when you are eating something a little bit spicy, you need to eat the rice with it to help with the heat. If that is not enough, you need some milk to take away the burn.
Very good. Made me feel hungry eating that Chinese.
This vlog is brilliant old school mcmaster vlogs having a good mooch around as Geoff Carter says really enjoyed this vlog can't believe you didn't go and try Lee's Dumplings 😂😂❤
this why a 99 is called - When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians. "So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a '99'." So, the ice cream is named after the Flake that goes in it, but why were Flakes chosen to add to ice cream cones?
Why there call 99 ice cream
Apparently it is so called because the majority of ice cream merchants in the fifties were Italian. The King of Italy had an elite bodyguard consisting of 99 men. So anything elite was called 99s by Italians. So they called the elite ice cream a 99.
Don't call it a 99er here! I did once as I licked at the soft serve with glee..... All the Aussies around me thought I was being naughty and referring to a 69er 😂
In 1922, a man called Stefano Arcari opened up an ice cream shop in Scotland at 99 Portobello High Street. He would apparently break a Flake in half and then place it in the ice cream to serve to his customers, taking inspiration from the shop's address for the ice cream's name...
Can’t beat 99🍦on a warm summers day
Must be a lonely life for you at times Lee-hope you’re ok so far from home. Really loving the vlogs from Oz 😊
Off camera I'm sat editing the videos. No time for fun. 🎥🕶️🎬
@@TheMacMasterHe is a very busy man up most of the night editing all the vlogs that he has done . gets about 3 or 4hours kip and keeps working . never stops xx❤x
@@lynnerowlands5052 that’s my feeling too. He works so hard and his vlogs are just brilliant 😊
There's nothing to dislike your vids are great it takes me back in time to a certain program wish you were here nice one 😂
Where you ate is my favourite restaurant I love their Hot and Spicy Chicken (No.46) while you were eating the chef was sat behind you and kept looking at you great video we love visiting Sydney chinatown when we leave our home in Nelson Bay for a few nights away
❤❤❤❤❤ Love my Chinese Food. yummy. looks like 9 for me.😊😊😊😊
I do like the music ones. My type of music I suppose. I'm enjoying them anyhow, so lets go.
You did a lot of walking Lee. I like both styles of videos.
New Tai yuen has been there since at least 1974. Always my favourite along with Marigold on Sussex Street but i dont know if its still there. Got to try Yum Cha which is normally from 11am.
Nah he’s more of a food court type of tourist. Not an adventurous palate.
They had Bulls Pen*s on the menu perfect for you Sydneysider
Great video, did you notice at the Chinese restaurants, you don't find salted chips & curry sauce in our restaurants
Another great video Lee and yes all ways injoy ya chilled ones why not you on holiday take care going catch up with 2nights one on wards
It's 9.00am when I'm watching this and now I'm ready for lunch after seeing those menu's lol.I never could manipulate those damn chopsticks so kudos to you. I was a constant embarrassment to my missus when we went to China. Another good vid mate.
It's melted - it's art - it looks like the solid bit that unexpectedly follows behind the release of gas! 🙂
That the phrase was coined in Portobello, Scotland when Stephen Arcari, who opened a shop in 1922 at 99 Portobello High Street, would break a large 'Flake' in half and stick it in an ice cream.
love the half cut lee version lol
I like all your videos Lee, music or not, so a mix is a good idea. 👍
Yes an enjoyable stroll around Sydney was nice, I liked the market? The food you had looked ok, though too spicy for me I think.
I suppose you could ask them to cook you a less spicy version. Or just pick a less spicy menu item. I have eaten in that food court before, but not from the shop.
Much prefer this type of vid Lee
Go down into the historic “ Rocks” area Lee, near the “;Overseas Passenger Terminal “ ( the Sydney Cruise Ship terminal, in Circular Quay). It’s the site of the 1st convict settlement, and has lots of little laneways that lead to some great eateries. Also while there, check out Sydney’s oldest Pub, “ The Fortune of War” Hotel in George St. The food there is great.
Too late he left Sydney some time last week. Unfortunately, too much time wasted filming fish and chips and Chinese menus rather than what’s really on offer.
@Sydneysider1310 Ah well, He will be back, so maybe on his next visit.😁
Maybe Sydneysider, stop yer moaning like an old bloke and watch tomorrow's video and you'll see I went to the Rocks!!!! Remind me not to invite you to a party. LOL x
@@TheMacMaster Oi! Just saw this. Am neither a moaner, old or a bloke. Was just wanting you to get the full experience.
Oh well, too late now. Still lovely and sunny, 30C here tomorrow ;)
I have eaten lamb's brain 🐑 Towards the end of the 80s, I was an apprentice chef at a hotel where we served lamb's brain as a night snack at a wedding. Of course I had to taste. It was a special texture but tasted good. Another great video 👍👌
Thanks for sharing that, you've put me right off me evening meal
As you like food courts you should try the one in Perth its in the shopping mall between Murry and Hay St and get out of the city for a day up to Perth hills and go for a proper bush walk.
and watch out for the man-eating bushes! 🙂
Are you coming to Melbourne? We’d be happy to show you around. Maybe even the MCG
