Join the queue at this Tamil eatery for the best hoppers in Sydney. These bowl-shaped crepes made from a batter of fermented rice flour and coconut milk are notoriously difficult to perfect, but XDream's are exquisite.
XDream pumps out hundreds of hoppers a day, crisp and delicate on top, and slightly spongy in the centre. Choose from the plain variety, or one with a soft-cooked egg in the centre, and be sure to ask for the side of lunu miris (chilli sambal).For dessert there is a version topped with a dollop of thick coconut cream and drizzled in jaggery (Sri Lanka's rich dark palm sugar).
The owner Yogalingam says he has frequent requests from the Sri Lankan community to cater for hopper parties in homes, but right now he can't keep up with the demand. His hoppers are only served after 4pm,
