If you are a foodie looking for the one-stop spot to enjoy the best cuisines from across the globe you should be heading to Sydney sooner than later. However, there are a few Aussie dishes here too that just might take the limelight among the many others.
This is a fish that is indigenous to the waters of Australia and is available in plenty by the coast of Sydney. They are also easy to farm; antibiotics and hormones don't need to be used to make them grow faster. Also, this ingredient is rich in omega 3 acids that makes it healthy for the heart. The ingredient is rich in protein and doesn't have a strong taste. The texture of the cooked fish is quite pleasant; besides, the fish can never be overcooked. With such a great ingredient, the locals have come up with all sorts of amazing, delicious dishes to try out.
The Sydney rock oyster is one of the best sought-after Aussie favourites. Its taste varies according to habitat, but you can never say it tastes bad! This oyster has a richer and sweeter taste than many other types of oysters and can be eaten raw or shallow fried in batter. This delicate ingredient is a wonderful complement with bacon and Worcestershire sauce and brings out the richness of pork too. Wine goes absolutely great with Sydney rock oyster.
The weather is quite warm in Australia which keeps the waters of the ocean warm and inviting to rich marine life as well. Thus, you've got the Australian prawn which is of the finest quality. The prawns from the local waters are large and have succulent flesh that is moist and bursting with flavour. They are best cooked fried with batter or crumbed in tempura style or put together with a collection of other local ingredients to bring out the flavours in a casserole, laksa or paella.
If you are staying at Oaks Sydney Hyde Park Suites, then step out of your apartment and walk into a café close by. Look up the menu and you are sure to find avocado toast on it! Avocado is one of the local staples and is believed to provide a much-needed energy boost, therefore, it is more of a breakfast dish. The fruit is usually mixed with feta cheese and sesame seeds and drizzled with a bit of olive oil and served with poached egg to bring out a blend of delightful flavours. It is also served on toast with beetroot hummus and black sesame which is nothing short of delicious!
Yes, this is an English breakfast, but Australia's got a local version of this nutrient-filled dish. Caramalised onions and tomato are stuffed in with fried egg and smoked bacon into a bread roll. For an extra bit of nutrition, grains or seeds are added into the stuffing mix as well. Smoked bacon and fried egg are also served with bread just out of the oven and tastes phenomenal. Therefore, if you've grabbed one of those Sydney CBD hotel deals and will be in the city for a while, then try out this breakfast!
