After a hike, it felt justified to reward myself with some food from Westside Acton Park. Tonight's visit was at the bright yellow container for some authentic Middle Eastern BBQ.


For my starter I sampled their Falafel - Five pieces of falafel on a bed of vegetables and pickles with a small tub of tahini. I think the bite size falafels were well-cooked and quite delicious. I still miss those large football shaped ones from Sydney.


My friend ordered a side of Cheesy Chips... which was exactly what it was. Just cheese melted on chips... served soggy and fatty... with not much else.


My friend also had a serving on Pita with cheese... that looked less than appealing.


I tried their Kafta Roll - Grilled flavoured lamb mince wrapped in Lebanese bread with lettuce, tomato, pickles, chips and garlic sauce. Tasted like something I whip together at home in a presser. The garlic sauce failed to add the oomph needed to the wrap and was quite light. 

To be fair, I've spent a lot of my past years sampling authentic Lebanese food in Auburn and Lakemba. With such high standards to match, I suppose I'm unintentionally a harsher critic.


Is it a place to take my friends to try authentic Middle Eastern BBQ... probably not. It's more a place I'd hope would be open because I'm hankering for some decent fast food.

About

I suddenly feel the tides turning. A yearn for something better in my life. I'm hoping for big changes in my career, maybe the touch of my first born and the ongoing rollercoaster of my marriage.

It feels important enough to dedicate a few minutes of my days to etch out how it is through my eyes... just so one day I can flick through and reminisce

Meet The Author

I've spent my whole life being the son my parents wanted me to be. I studied hard, went through the different levels of the school system and then I'm now 30. I married a beautiful girl, trying to pay off a mortgage, and have a bucket list of things I want to do which don't involve work.

I've always had a passion for blogging, photography, food, collecting aka organised hoarding and music and I can't think of any better moment to start documenting it...
