Japanese quick meals

Ton Ton has two locations, one in Chifley Tower and the other on George Street near the cinemas. When I visited this one back in November I was looking for a quick bite before seeing a movie and thought Japanese would be a bit healthier than a burger, chips and soft drink. If you're in a bit of a hurry then you might have to wait a bit longer for your meal than say Hungry Jacks or McDonalds. The meals were OK but nothing to rave about for me. The Garlic and Shrimp Fried Rice had a distinctive garlic taste with a fair amount of prawn through. The Chicken Katsu Don was quite filling and perhaps a bit heavy for my liking — especially if you're in a rush to get to the movies.

So many posts — so little time :-(

This was my most behind blog review I've had on my list to do since last November. To date I still have "73" other places I've photographed and still to post. I feel like I'll never catch up unless I take three weeks off work and stay at home and just blog so I think I've given up on the idea of ever being up-to-date.

Other visits to Ton Ton:

• 25 Nov 2009 - Regent: Chicken Katsu Don, Garlic and Shrimp Fried Rice

• 26 Mar 2009 - Chifley: Ramen Kaarage

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Handy location to cinemas, Alternative to other fast food take away in the area

CONS: Can take a little while if there's a lot of people that have ordered before you

MUST TRY: Finding other alternatives around the cinemas for a quick, cheap and healthy bite to eat

Tum's Thai Take Away, Randwick (21 Oct 2008)

167 Alison Road, Randwick NSW 2031

A popular busy restaurant with plenty of regular patrons and always uses fresh ingredients. I've always been impressed with the size of the juicy Chicken Satay which is definately larger than most places and I've had the Prawn Fried Rice many times, not for authenticity, but mainly because I love the huge 6 king prawns you get and variety of fresh vegetables. I would consider Tum Thai a good quality westernized thai eatery but for fuller flavours and authenticity head to Spice I Am in Surry Hills for many of my favourite dishes.
