I don't pick many Chinese spots but B's friend wanted Peking duck and Pacific Seafood BBQ House is one of the go to spots for roasted meats. They have a second location in South Yarra.
We dropped in on a holiday Friday for dinner (6:30pm). The service is surprisingly good and food comes out extremely quickly. The walls are lined with special dishes and prices for seafood.
The menu isn't as big as normal (a nice change) but it's split into roast dishes, entrees, soup, crocodile meat, chicken, duck, beef, pork, clay pot, seafood, vegetable/bean curd, fried noodles and rice.
- Soup - complimentary bowls of delicious root vegetable soup. Reminded me of my grandma's soup.
- 4x Steamed rice ($3.50/person) - wow, I didn't realize they charged each person for rice. You get a pot and it's refillable but that's still highway robbery.
- Peking duck ($32.00 AUD) - it's been awhile since I've had Peking duck but this was excellent. Not fatty at all but tender, moist and a light, crispy skin. Delectable.
- 8x Jumbo oysters ($3.50 each) - these were cooked. Almost had an eggy texture. Good but I'll still take fresh oysters 'errday of the week.
- Barramundi ($61.60 AUD) - they charge $28.00/0.5 kg. Our fish weighed in at 1.10 kg. Pretty hefty and pricey but sometimes, you just got to splurge. We got it steamed in a black bean sauce. Tender and flaky but I wanted more oomph from the sauce.
- Snow peas sprouts with minced garlic ($24.00 AUD) - these are always delicious but pricey. Here's no different.
It's solid Chinese food but you're paying a premium for it. Cash only.
