A restaurant focused on Southern Chinese cuisine.
We booked for 10 people and we ordered 6 dishes :
1. XO sauce pipis with handmade rice noodles
2. Pan fried green chillies stuffed with dace fish mince
3. Dice wagyu beef with garlic
4. Salt and pepper squid
5. Sunde roasted goose (Whole)
6. Steamed fish cooked in 3 styles coral trout
But actually we came for the 星班三味鱼 seafood platter ($318 with medium size coral trout) - it's a beautiful platter of seafood steamed on a giant lotus leaf: there's a live coral trout filleted and steamed 3 ways (green peppercorn, Chinese olive, red chilli), alongside some prawns and pipis. Under the seafood is a layer of silky 陈村粉 Chencun rice noodles. It was pretty good - the fish was 爽 firm, bouncy, flaky, fresh-tasting. The prawns were OK - large but not very 鲜. The rice noodles aren't as full of sweet, fragrant seafood essence as you'd expect - I think because coral trout doesn't have much by way of juices, and these particular prawns for some reason weren't very juicy either. Still tasty though. This portion was perfect for 10 people with 5 other dishes.
The 蒜香和牛粒 wagyu beef cubes with garlic, capsicum, mushrooms was delicious - tender, juicy beef stir-fried in a moreish sweet and salty sauce. Lovely and colourful too. Pricey though at $63.80.
Roasted goose is Crispy and more lean than duck. Highly recommend this dish.
Pipis were nice and came with wide flat rice noodles but I prefer vermicelli noodles because if you don’t eat it quickly, the noodles get swollen and just stick together.
Service is good and friendly. The place is compact because is a holiday and people are coming to enjoy dinner with family and relatives
