The Restaurant

We would normally go here for its dimsum (yum-cha during the afternoon), for their dimsums are pretty consistent! (despite sometimes slow service). This time it is our friend's birthday and we decided to go for their ala carte menu instead!

The restaurant is as always busy (and crowded with Australian rather than Asian, I wonder why :O)

What to Eat?

Surprise, surprise, their menu is in English :P And they have banquet menu as well :) (despite a little bit too pricey for stingy Asian like us)

The Restaurant

If you are hungry and you dont have lots of money left in your pocket, this place is perfect for you!

I won't usually go to this restaurant for a meal but my parents apparently changed my mind about this restaurant. Except the exterior being a little bit dodgy, everything about this place is great, from the extensive menu selection; affordable price; friendly waiter (I refer to the waiter guy who has worked there for quite some time); reasonable taste and quick service!

Getting a place is near to impossible if you came in in a large group during lunch/dinner hours.

And what's more, EXTRA RICE without charge! :)

What to Eat?

The menu is so extensive but if you have no ideas what to choose,they have their Top 10 Dishes for you!

Of course not to be missed out is their BBQ stuff! BBQ chicken; duck blah blah blah!
Picture
One of the Top 10 dishes: crispy skin pork omelette! Beneath the egg there are roast porks! And a generous serving of gravy!
Picture
Mum's curry chicken. Mum liked it! Keep you warm during cold days during summer (how ironic Melbourne weather could get)!

Would a crave for dimsum push you this far to Doncaster? YES!

Unless you have a car, you would have to take a tram/train and then a bus to get to this place. BUT IT IS WORTHWILE!

The variety of DimSum is spectacular!!!! :D and YUMMY! (just that a bit pricey)
