Eating World

With a wealth of food choices at bargain prices, Eating World is definitely somewhere that you can eat yourself to a standstill. I tried one of the new food stalls, Tiger Cave, which offers a Thai fusion menu. My deep fried barramundi with cashew nuts was a huge serving, with a delicious spicy sauce and complimentary soup. At $ 11 this was a winner. I had also optimistically thought I could fit in some lamb and cummin skewers from one of the other floors. While tasty and tender, this was one of the rare occasions where I just couldn’t fit in another bite!

This food court is great if u r in a big grp and cant decide what to eat. We ordered from various counters. found the china one to be the best bang for buck and tasty. Most dishes were $ 10 and comes with rice or soup. eg. salty spicy prawns, deep fried fish etc…

This place is great for a quick cheap feed and perhaps a beer. Whether it be the search for an adequately greasy and salty bowl of awesomeness prior to a night out or you are just looking for somewhere to stop for a meal without resorting to a kebab or a sit down menu ordering establishment, eating world will get you fed, watered (a selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are available from a small bar on site), and out for your next adventure.
Not a place to bring a date but decent, and good size servings meaning it is rather good value. Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, Singaporean and a frozen yoghurt stand just to name a few. I had the Japanese on this visit, and the spicy pork and soft shell crab was great.
Check it out!

I recommend this food court if you’re looking for a repreive from the chaos that is Dixon House. It seems much less crowded, and more relaxed than other food courts in Chinatown. The food is not of any lesser quality, although there are comparitively fewer stalls than other food courts. There’s Chinese, Singaporean, Japanese, Indonesian and Vietnamese stalls to choose from, in addition to a bar serving alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

I’d like to commend this place for fighting name ambiguity. I have wandered past the large building on the busy corner of Goulburn and Harbour Streets many times and never mistaken it for a fishing shop or a tanning salon or a karaōke bar. Nope. This place is for eating. And we know this because it’s called Eating World.
Eating World has a number of food court stalls inside all wafting with the smell of grease and chili. There are a few different types of Asian cuisines represented but most are Chinese.
The only thing I have actually tried in Eating World is the tea available from the stall to the immediate right of entry. On offer are rose tea, chrysanthemum tea, and gogi berry tea, all with said items floating in them and all served cold. With different healing properties to each, I chose rose to rid my body of toxins. Can’t say it offered much in the way of taste (quite the opposite), but I walked out of Eating World feeling a teeny tiny bit lighter than when I walked in… And I’d like to attribute that to more than just removing myself from the harsh smells and lighting.

Food is not exactly in short supply in Haymarket. Located in Chinatown, Eating World is an Asian food court that certainly delivers on value if not always on quality! And when it comes to the décor, try not to worry about that, you’re not there to judge the interior design — which is lucky really, because it’s definitely lacking in a little character. I
I haven’t tried all of the stalls, as I’ve only recently discovered it, but there seems to be a pretty decent cross-​section of Asian cuisines to choose from, although I can’t vouch for the quality of all of them. My personal favourite is a little Japanese eatery called Kimama. Actaully, it’s Kimama Kitchen Japanese Casual Dining to give it its full name, which is apt considering it’s in a food court — you don’t get much more casual than that. Although I wouldn’t advise going there if you’re in a rush. On my last visit I ordered the Karage Don ($ 9), basically fried chicken on a bed of rice topped with teriyaki mayo (there are other choices too), served with a bowl of miso. It was tasty and filled me up for the rest of the day, so passed my lunch test.
I also recently tried one of the Chinese options (can’t remember its name) and was given enough food to last two meals — so no complaints on the value there either!
