Marrickville Pork Roll

Sydney is a very multi-cultural city, deceivingly so and if you visit where we live in Sydney it will not be immediately evident. In the time that Kelly has called Sydney home she has seen way more of this city than most of my friends. We both believe strongly in exploring the city and exposing Luca and Scout to what truly makes this city a great place to live. All this being a self serving lead-in to justify me dragging the family half way across Sydney to Marrickville to satisfy my new food craving, Vietnamese Pork Rolls (Banh Me Thit).

I have heard the appropriately named Marrickville Pork Roll offers some of the best Banh Me Thit in Sydney. With great weather in tow we headed off for Sunday lunch. The rolls were great, MPR is literally a hole in the wall place, only two customers (plus Luca) can stand inside at a time and it is all take-out. We ate at a local Marrickville park, the kids enjoyed the playground, we stopped in at the home ground of the Newtown Bluebags, Henson Park, where my dad used to play rugby league, we visited the local markets and much to the satisfaction of the Luca we stopped at a park he had 'spied' on the way over that had a pretty cool flying fox he an Scout could play on. 

Another awesome Ferguson Family adventure under our belts we ended the weekend with a delicious meal courtesy of Kel who made three dishes using the lemons we picked from the tree this morning.
