A taste of Australia

 


A taste of Australia: Delicious meals at a hidden gem

Traveling to a new country can be a sensory overload, especially when it comes to food. Everything tastes different, and the currency exchange can be a shock! I experienced this firsthand when I visited Australia many years ago. A simple cup of tea and a samosa cost me the equivalent of 300 rupees, which was outrageous compared to what I was used to at home.

It took me a while to adjust, but eventually, I learned to embrace the new experience. My son suggested I forget about the exchange rate and focus on enjoying the unique flavors of Australian cuisine.

One day, he introduced me to a delightful canteen-style food outlet near his house. This wasn't your ordinary restaurant; it was run by students from TAFE University's vocational courses in hospitality, cookery, and kitchen management.

TAFE: Where education meets deliciousness

TAFE University is a leading provider of vocational education in Australia, and this food outlet was a testament to their excellent programs. Students used it as a platform to sell the meals they prepared during their courses at a fraction of the price of other restaurants.

From 11 am to 2 pm, the outlet bustled with activity. People flocked there to enjoy a variety of delectable dishes, from fish and chips and lamb curries to freshly barbecued meats and salads. The ambience was serene and quiet, and the food was absolutely delicious, all at an affordable price.

If you ever find yourself in Newcastle, Australia, be sure to check out this hidden gem beside Hunter Valley Highway, near the university. It's the perfect place to savor a delicious and affordable meal.
