Hanuman Restaurant Darwin and Cold Rock too

Posted by Gary

Hanuman Restaurants serve a combination of Thai Indian and Nonya cuisine

My favourite place to eat in Darwin apart from getting casual fish and chips on Darwin wharf is the Hanuman Restaurant on Mitchell Street. 

Tonight I walked from my hotel into town and through to the Hanuman Restaurant. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to eat initially and I thought it would reveal how predictable and obsessive I am, but you know what? Who cares. I like the food. I like the restaurant. It was my choice.

Parliament House in Darwin has been nicknamed the wedding cake. You can see why.

I arrived a little after 6 pm and was amongst the first diners.

This was a gorgeous duck salad. I could have stopped at this and been happy.

The whole fish was really nicely cooked and the flavours of the sauce were truly hot, sweet and sour. Perfect.

Bones are always a problem when eating whole fish, but you kow what? When the fish tastes this good it doesn’t matter.

After a spicy meal I needed some dessert and I wanted ice cream. My favourite ice cream place in Darwin is Cold Rock.

Fish and chips at Stokes Hill Darwin wharf

Posted by Gary

Fish and chips isn’t my favourite food but it comes close

I’m in Darwin for work. I used to live here (from 1996 to 2007). I call Darwin the place where my soul and spirit lives. Don’t get me wrong, I like Canberra. I love the people of Canberra. I like that it’s small without traffic and really is just a country town. Darwin though pops and sizzles. Darwin has life. Darwin is exciting. Best of all Darwin is warm and moist and has Darwin-friendly people. Yep that’s a thing…Darwin-friendly.

I used the RunKeeper app on my iPhone to provide a GPX file so I could pinpoint the places where I captured images.
