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

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.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
