Local Joints 002
Mo Aung / Sun's Burmese Kitchen, Blacktown.
In anticipation for his debut Beat Kitchen Records release, Mo Aung took us to one of his favourite restaurants for Local Joints 002, a series where we invite our homies to take us to their favourite local family run eateries. Episode Two finds us in the heart of Blacktown, a heavily multicultural suburb characterised by the large waves of immigration from Pacific Islander, Indian and South-East Asian communities over the past three decades.
Nestled off the busy main road, tucked behind a KFC, Sun’s Burmese Kitchen stands bright with its shimmering neon lights. Initially opened in April, 2012 - Sun’s is an ode to the traditional cuisine of Burma, one that owner Hsan Myint Aung believed did not authentically exist in Sydney. Aung describes Burmese cuisine as a mixture of different influences from neighbouring countries, borrowing the spices and curries from India, whilst maintaining traditional rice and noodle servings from China.
Big love to Hsan Myint Aung and wife Lyn for being so welcoming, and taking the time to chat with us. A couple dish recommendations from Mo include; the Mixed Entree, Chicken Danbauk, Nan Pya Thoke Salad, Mohinga, Lahpet Thoke Salad and the Chicken Rural Curry.
