You may have already heard of Malibu sandwiches as a result of a scathing review on eatabillity.com, branding co-owner Marcella as the butter wouldn't melt 'sandwich nazi'. These opinions shouldn't divert the attention from this epic eat down.
Malibu definitely isn't for the vain eater, don't take your pocket mirror and it's probably a good idea to avoid it on a first date.
"It's the latest craze. Every corner shop seems to have its own grilled fish deal. And the cheapest one is on the corner of Devonshire and Holt Streets. It's really good. Grilled fish, chips and salad. $6.50. I tell you what, that's a bargain! And it's semi healthy. The one on Foveaux is $9.50.
What's with cafés these days? They're pimped out with the latest organic free-trade coffee, a million-dollar fit-out and the hippest of hipster-doofus waiters.

Common Ground Bakery in Rozelle serves up tasty baked goods, salads, sandwiches, and pizza in the evening.
There's nothing sexy about Golden Century. It's got kitsch ‘80s-era Chinese cultural décor, (gold-leaf dragons and red furnishings), a mess-hall atmosphere and the manger wears a double-breasted suit (have a look here).
But the FOOD! Oh sweet baby Joysus! It's the BEST place in Sydney for Chinese food.
