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

on Hampton St

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.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
