Muum Maam
Wave goodbye to your local Thai takeaway, because Muum Maam is NEXT LEVEL. Grab a quick street style meal from the Tuk Shop, or sit down for a long lunch with all your Thai favourites. Muum Maam is Thai slang for “little glutton”, so it’s no surprise that the menu has us reaching for more than one dish!

Mohr Fish
Fresh seafood combines with a retro-milkbar-meets-English-seaside charm at Mohr Fish. Chef and owner Hans Mohr has hand picked produce from the Sydney Fish and Flemington markets every week for 21 years. Now that’s dedication. Mohr’s take away fish and chip boxes won’t suck your wallet dry either, so we can see why Surry Hills is hooked!
Must eat: grilled fish with salad and chips ($10.50)
Lunch: Mon-Thu 11:30am-3pm, Fri-Sun 11am-4pm
Address: 202 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills
