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.

Pho 236

@ 236 King Street, Newtown

This place is exactly what its name sounds like. It's a Vietnamese pho house @ 236 King Street. Exuding a typical Asian restaurant feel complete with black chairs, tiled flooring and simple tables, it's a narrow walk to the counter. There are only two rows of tables and chairs but it's almost always packed out during the big dinner hours.

Obviously, the signature dish was what I had to try. Beef pho, it came out steaming hot, filled with an addictive broth and cooked well. Great to satisfy any pho cravings.
