Hey guys, can someone please recommend a REALLY GOOD chinese restaurant in the city.. I have some family coming down from Sydney on the weekend, and so far I've only been to yummy Japanese places really :wub:

We are really picky/critical about food (and service!) so I hate just taking a guess as to where to go, and then regretting it :)

All help appreciated :P

Please let me know why you think a particular restaurant is good too..

Thanks,

Kaz

flower drum if you can afford a billion dollars for it

theres a really nice chinese place in elsternwick - its on glen huntly rd

another good one is lucky buddha in brighton on hamton rd

an ace one is jade village on maroonda hwy in ringwood (this place is tops)

on Hampton St

probably a bit too basic though.

Shark Fin Inn in the City is good

there's a new place in Church St, Brighton too but i havent been there

Theres a chinese chilli restraunt near china town thats sure to put any family memebr you wantn in hospital for the majority of their trip :(

Seriously, the place is bloody ridiculous. Would anyone like some Chicken with their chilli?

The Red Emperor at Southbank is the best Chinese restaurant ive ever been to (and i love my Chinese) It has been awarded 2 hats..yes not one but 2 hats. That sort of reputation speaks for itself. The service we recieved was second to none (we had the matre'd look after us as we ordered a fairly expensive bottle of wine before dinner).

My recommendations:

Flower Drum - City. Awesome food & Serive, expensive, book early or you may not be able to get a seat.

Silks - City. Awesome food & Service, expensive.

David's - Prahran. Great food & service (not quite as good as the other two), reasonably priced.

ok. what kind of chinese food are you actually thing of? Like a casual type with like lemon chicken ETC , those type of dished that are tailored to weterners or a typuical chines food?

you like mainly beef , chicken, fish?

Formal type or real bustling type or doesnt matter? Cheap eats or moderate or expensive?

Hmm but my suggestion is the Shark Fin Inn. On lt bourke. chinatown nearer to the spring st ones not the one close to chinatown. Dinner or "yum cha"?

Tehy food i think its good and very resonable price. Probably a good dinner A$20/head.

There is a newish one in Church St, Brighton called Humble House. It does an assortment of Asian cuisine including Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese etc. Very good food.

Thanks for all the feedback :rolleyes: Appreciate the effort thanks

I don't go for that new gourmet aussie chinese food like at Flower Drum though I imagine if you did it would be a great place to go. Want more like a 50 item menu etc with traditional aussie chinese like mongolian beef, chicken cashew, honey prawns and the like :)

Moderate to expensive.. parents are buying hehe :(

oh cantonese is a better way to describe it :D

Well you should have said it ealier. Easy as . Ahark fin Inn is the go then. Remember to go the one nearer to the spring st not the one nearer to chinatown. Make sure you book in advance.

Ask for Angus or Kelvin. Tell them his god younger bro sent you and he will look after you. Hmnm you can bring in some wines too!! BYOs. Seafood is good. Its good few fishes like Mor wong, sek pan which are bothe ecxpensive. Then theres barramundis, murray cod( cheaper). I like them steamed in soya sauce and spring onions and cilantro.

Theres pekind duck too. hmm fried spare ribs which is noice. Hmm care for any oily stuff? They will look after you anyway and ask them to recommend. Hmm probably you should make a call and make a reservation a few days in advance . hope this helps.

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
