The pepper chicken is delicious, the goat curry aromatic in cardamom and the rice is plentiful. We bring our tray to our table situated next to the spare tissue boxes, tomato sauce (odd!), salt, pepper and cutlery. We hear the clang of the pans when they make kotthu rotti (chopped roti) in the background and we order some hoppers to add to our order as well as a sweet rose drink.
XDREAM TOONGABBIE FULL
The man behind the counter is super friendly and when we ask him for recommendations he puts together a delicious tray full of goodies for us including goat curry to pepper chicken. It's very busy here and we are the only non Sri Lankan patrons which is the sort of thing that confirms that the food is authentic and good. The owners of X Dreams own a jewellery store as well as the eatery next door. "Is it a jewellery store?" we ask as we drive past it. Our first stop is X Dreams, based purely on two reasons: the name for starters but also that Laura had been told that it has Sydney's best Sri Lankan food. 55 minutes and an ungodly number of 80's love songs later we have arrived at Toongabbie where people are busy making the rush hour dash home from work. At 5pm she picked me up from my place and we drove across Sydney. I am in the car with my sometime vegetarian friend Laura. The song "Heaven is a Place on Earth" plays us into Toongabbie.
