I normally get the Nasi Goreng or the Singapore noodles, which are 7.50 and 8 bucks respectively. They're more than enough for lunch! At the busiest point of the day the wait times can be a bit of a problem, but they do cook everything fresh in front of you whilst you wait.

Haha the singapore noodles are delicious but I can feel my arteries clogging up every time

D': I went to that place once last year and waited three quarters if an hour for my food. Never again!

I miss eastern kitchen for cheap, freshly cooked food!  They were so fast with orders too. :(( does anyone know why it shut down?

I only get food from like three places on campus.
Dax, Zambreros and Haymarket Place.
The other day I got food from Stovetop and it was much regret, as per usual, paying 18 dollars for 4 pieces of gnocchi.
Same with Seven Seeds - lines far too big and food far too small for the price.
Dax is good because usually a meal lasts me two whole meals, especially if a salad - so you pay like 8 dollars for the salad and that's essentially a 4 dollar dinner and a 4 dollar lunch.
Zambreros, get the Chickito or however you spell that for 7.50 and it's only like two bites smaller than the 10.50 burrito.

There's this place on campus that has cheap sandwiches right outside my building which is called 'Tradie cafe' to those who know if it (since every tradie ever eats there) but I've forgotten its real name.  It's like, two steps down from the Doherty on Elizabeth St though.

If it's clogged arteries you're after give the chow kueh teow a shot. Had that for the first time today and am quite convinced that I'll have a heart attack soon.

If you join the sociedad de espaņol and show them your card you get 20% off (or thereabouts) I think, so the chickito ends up costing less than seven bucks.

I found your cafe! I was walking along Elizabeth St when someone wolf whistled, and when I looked up I was in front of Top End Cafe, 780 Elizabeth St, surrounded by tradies <3 didn't get his number tho, bruh

I'm never eating there if getting my food involves the potential of being hooted at by tradies.

They work hard and they play hard, scribble.

Have you tried sensually coating yourself in oil and then sauntering past, simpak?

I would rather die.
I probably look dead when they see me.

what the hell is hooting?

The mating call of the wild tradie. Often, the tradie can be seen making its mating call to unprotected women, whilst the tradie itself is in its own pack for protection.

Not all tradies, and you get hooting from uni students just as much if it's after hours.

Now I really want a Top End Cafe sandwich.
