My top 5 favourite food in Australia

After a few years living in Australia, I managed to try a lot of Australian food, thanks to my fellow Aussie friends who kept on introducing new food to me and my husband. Although I still do miss eating Malaysian food occasionally, I have learnt to appreciate the delicious food that Australia has to offer.

Here are my top five favourite food in Australia:

Beer Battered Fish and Chips

It’s like your normal fish and chips but the batter is more light and fluffy as they use beer to make their fish batter.

Aussie Roast Pork/Beef and Vegetables

This is a popular dish introduced by Australian early English settlers. It is also known as the Sunday Roast, as the English often eat this dish for lunch on a Sunday during those days. The Sunday Roast can be either made by roasting pork or beef at a low temperature for hours so that the meat turns out really tender. The roast pork or beef is served with brown gravy made from pan drippings and roasted vegetables. My favourite element of this dish is the roast pork crackling, which is the crackled pork skin.

Aussie the Lot Burger

Unique to Australia, this burger is always bursting with flavour as it has a good combination of ingredients. In this burger, you will find a fried egg and bacon, handmade beef burger patty, caramelised onions, lettuce, cheese, canned sliced beetroot and also tomatoes. This burger is usually served with tomato and barbecue sauce.

Salt & Pepper Squid

This squid dish is very popular and is commonly served at Australian fish and chip shops, Chinese takeaway shops and classy restaurant. This dish has a bit of Chinese influence to it. It is really tasty.

Steak & Mushroom Pie

Steak and mushroom pie is commonly sold at bakeries, delis, cafes and Italian coffee shops all across Australia. The pie is made by simmering beef chuck steak with onions, garlic, canned diced tomatoes, beef stock and mushrooms to produce that rich and tasty pie filling. Steak and mushroom pie is often eaten with a dollop of tomato sauce or just eaten plain. You can buy this pie for about $3.50-$4.50. It is a budget meal and a perfect choice for those wanting to get a quick bite on the go.
