The humble sushi train is finally starting to lug more varied food freight.
Adriano Zumbo tried to include desserts in its haulage, and last month a London start-up put cheese and charcuterie on the tracks.
In recent days, Chinese classics have started circling at Bondi Beach.
"We thought the idea of grabbing a plate of white asparagus with XO, some wagyu and a good glass of wine [would have appeal]," China Diner co-owner Kingsley Smith says of his newly installed China Train.
"It lets people who are in a rush come in for a quick bite. We've also found younger customers bounce around from venue to venue, so it gives us more flexibility. They might have a dish and a cocktail."
Smith says there is still an expectation of some Japanese food, so he has employed a new team to service the tracks.
"We're aiming for 50-50 Chinese-Japanese food on the train," Smith says.
The restaurateur also promises only one of the Japanese dishes has mayo on it (toot-toot from us).
You'll also find a "Chiko" spring roll on the rolling stock, but don't expect the cabbage and beef Aussie corner-store staple.
"It is a chicken roll. It's our bestseller."
