Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

FoodARama

@ 573 King Street, Newtown

The name sounds cheesy but don't let it fool you. This is another little gem of the south end. In the window is a delicious array of cakes that are made on the premises, also on the menu is Mexican and burgers/wraps that can come with wheat and dairy free option for the picky lot like me.

The feel of FoodARama is casual. Wooden chairs that can fit maybe 20 at the most with a blackboard of specials on the back wall. The service is extremely friendly and fast. I ordered a coffee and raspberry and apple bread on takeaway and it was delivered speedily.


The coffee was super hot and quite pleasant for the cold day that it was. The bread was nice, though only became special when I hit the caster sugar on the top of it. This is also one of the few cafes I've chanced upon that charge differently for eat-in and take-out on their coffees and treats, of which were so mouthwatering I'll definitely be returning to test some of the more dessert-based soon!
