No. 1 BBQ House, Chinese, Campsie

The line for takeaway at No. 1 BBQ House went out the door.  Luckily for me on this cold Wednesday evening, I could get a seat inside to dine in.  And within minutes my order was taken and my dish is delivered.

Sidhi Vinayak Grocery, Campsie

When I think of Campsie, the first thing comes to mind is Korean food, one of our early favourite restaurants was just off Beamish street; that was over a decade ago. But now it's so much more.  On a recent visit for lunch, we found ourselves parked outside an Indian grocery store.  Which was just perfect, because it saved me popping down to Liverpool later to pick up some supplies.



Sidhi Vinayak grocery store was small but neat and cramped packed with lots of great supplies.  Watch the video above and you'll see particularly piles and piles of colourful bags of basmati rice.

Manmaruya Japanese Noodle Bar, Campsie

In the weeks leading up to Campsie Food Festival on Saturday, 4th June, noodlies Sydney food blog wanted to sample some great eats in Campsie.  Manmaruya has been in Campsie for three years and is an amazingly popular local restaurant attracting both locals and visitors.



The first thing I notice about Manmaruya is that it's been properly designed. It's zen-minimalist, attractive and very functional.  And immediately I'm struck by the fact that the place is very, very popular, it's packed today for lunch.
