    Yall managed to do really well finding these cheap spots in Sydney. Great variety and though some of the portions are a lil smaller like the Japanese mini bowl the Thai place is a gem of a place. Full meal for so cheap that's value! The rain in Australia is just ridiculous right now take care guys heard its getting worse. Don't think $20 will get you very far in Auckland T_T pies only lol.
