Well said Sally Pryor!

"Think about it: there are places like this throughout the city, from small suburban shopping strips to Canberra's hippest streets. Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, not to mention Italian, Persian or Mediterranean - our silly One Nation wannabes would do well to stop and remember where they last ate a post-sitting-week meal, shouted the office, hashed out a plan, or found something every family could plausibly like somewhere in the menu. What would our culinary scene be like without generations of migrants making new homes on our shores?

And drilling right down, cheap Asian food is part of our heritage, our national identity and - with apologies to our flourishing high-end dining scene - it's what hits the spot most often.

Such restaurants - I can literally name 20 off the top of my head - tend to be the city's stayers, enduring through the seasons, and outlasting the fancy new venues with lush fitouts and $80 mains."

Sometimes the best meal isn't fancy, it's just fast and familiar.
