But unlike in LA where they are not frequented, Market City was definitely hopping on a Friday afternoon. The vast majority of retail stores are Far East Asian (Chinese and Korean). There are grocery stores located in the bottom floor, along with beauty stores. There are also stand alone carts selling various knick knacks. It was worthwhile perusing them, and my brother ended up buying quite a few things.

We came here upon our day tour guide's recommendation. This definitely beats Market City, which to…read moreus was a joke in its portions, pricing, and quality. At the 2nd level is the food court. There are many many selections to choose from: Cantonese BBQ, steamed/claypot rice, stir fry, Taiwanese noodles, Ramen, Korean, etc. We had the stir fry beef with beans and rice, hainan chicken, beef brisket noodle soup, and bbq pork/charsiu rice. We even picked up a sour plum drink, mango pudding sago, and coconut pudding sago. Everything was fresh, not too salty, priced reasonably and portions are also decent. My parents were pleased with their experience compared to Market City food court's. Visitors who would like to get a taste of Asian cuisine for an affordable price, do check it out!

Whether you are after something spicy, a noodle dish, or perhaps something with a side of rice... this is the place you want to go. Of course it is great value, but more importantly it is good quality food. On a couple of occasions while pigging out in the food court the local Chinese dragons have come though providing dinner and a show. Though the fireworks were extremely loud in the enclosed space... :-) The other thing about the Sussex Centre that most people miss is the medical centre on level 5. As you come through the main entrance on you right hand side you should see some elevators. If you take them up to level 5 there is a while floor of doctors and specialists. I used to go there to see a doctor about getting a personalised mix of Chinese medicinal tea. If that is something you are interested in, you might want to check this place out.

There's always been a strange and oddly wonderful array of stores that in no way make sense, and many of the storefronts are empty and stores come and go without rhyme or reason and in a way it's kind of charming because there's no other place like it. Come early and have an explore and buy some weird shit, or hit the (just okay but hella cheap) food court for some vittles before seeing a flick at the Mandarin Centre Hoyts AKA The Land That Time Forgot.

My local friend suggested we head off to Chatswood where there would be many malls and that we should be able to locate something there, even on a Sunday when many smaller stores were closed. In the Westfield Chatswood mall, we located a Vodafone on Level 4 by the food court. There was a bonus deal going on, so we scored 25 gb for $25 AUD for 35 days, which was plenty for our (shorter) time in the country. Ironically, however, we later found another Vodafone at the Greenwich Plaza which was a short walk away from our hotel.
