A friend (thank you) had recently brought back this bottle of pleasure from her trip to the Northern Territory. Unbeknownst to me, Darwin is apparently a treasure trove of Asian foods and delicacies. If this NT Hot Chilli Sauce (self named due to no name) is anything to go by, I believe it wholeheartedly.

It’s magic in a bottle. I’ll show you what I mean.

A visit to the Off The Wall Diner was a long time coming. Home of the “World’s Hottest Chilli Burger”, this gourmet burger joint located at Wellington Point is an infamous battleground for lovers of searing hot chilli.

United, six of us were hungry for battle but when we arrived we found the enemy’s armoury heavily depleted – enough only for a couple of rounds. As a show of respect we sent forth two of our finest warriors. Little did we know our arrogance would be our undoing.

Global Burgers is a gourmet burger joint opposite the Treasury Hotel on George Street. They talk big, indulging in Global Burger Love and encouraging us to “eat the world”. Indoor tables, bar and pavement seating, modern, clean, but fairly tiny. Hopefully they have an ingenious system for takeaway and navigating the George Street foot traffic.
