decided to go to HC Hawa (formerly Awafi) in Granville. Must say, their chicken is much better than El Jannahs, will definitely be going back.

and the garlic sauce? is that the one down the road from EJs?

the chicken, Chips, Sauce and EVERYTHING is better at HC Hawa

on the money there, and the chicken isn't as dry or salty.. not to mention you can eat in their cafe next door that does CAMPOS coffees.. super win :)

ended up going on sunday.

have to say their garlic sauce isn't as flavoursome as EJ/Hot rocks and so, falls to third place out of the 3, but their chicken is better than EJs by far, similar to Hot rocks. Chips, prob depends on the person making them but mine weren't crunchy enough nor fresh piping hot...both hot rocks and EJs win in this respect because you always get fresh hot chips. but the garlic sauce here is way cheaper than other stores!

overall pretty good. OH and their pickles are not super super salty, they were actually refreshing to put in the wrap with chicken for once!

The platters are definitely better at HC Hawa. Another one to try (not sure if it's been mentioned already) is La Mono in Merrylands. Cleaner than either HC Hawa and EJ, and you don't need to worry about getting stabbed/shanked/mugged (kind of ironic since La Mono is in Merrylands, lol). Keep in mind they are a bit more expensive than HC Hawa and EJ.

Another place I have heard of, but have not yet tried, is the Middle Feast. Apparently it's a new place. If anyone has been there I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Degustation

Exxy but great eating when your pockets are full and you're ready to celebrate.

The following are all exquisite but my rankings are...

1) Quay at Circular Quay

2) Tetsuya at Sydney

3) Waqu at Crows Nest

4) Sabatini's on Golden Princess Liner - sorry about that.

5) Ashcroft at Blackheath

6) Como at Blaxland

Yup > Best Thai yet!

* Barramundi in lime and lemongrass 9/10

* Prawns in red curry sauce 8/10

* Crisp Pork Belly 8.5/10

* Soft shell crab with mango salad 8/10

Hint:- Ask for a side bowl of coriander for sprinkling

Thanks Kat :)

I once had a compulsive eating patient who said, "I don't want to go to heaven unless they have pork crackle up there!" hehe...

Crispy Pork Belly at Chedi yes - recommend!

Quan ( one of the partners ) was funny.

He tried to convince us that we'd ordered too much > cut down on the order Lol

I've not done a degustation since I'm a bit fussy with wine and I fear some of it (especially the reds) are a bit lost on me.

My fave restaurant in Canberra does one though and they also do some pretty epic tapas. I usually have a few wines and ask the owner to "Bring me food" and he just brings out awesomeness. I've been going there a while, he lets me behind the bar sometimes to serve my own drinks :D

    • Yep that's a superb price and ther is no way you will over capitalise on you investment.  As to the bracket, again just use the passenger side seat  bracket ( obviously reversed ) as a sample to reshape it and in this case, TIG it back together.
    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.
