Quite good Cantonese Chinese restaurant on the 2nd level of The Stockland office building. It is…read morejust across the street from the back door of the Sheraton Grand at Hyde Park...for very convenient for travelers. They do Dim Sum 9:00a - 3p most days. Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

Cheap, cheap, cheap! Come here if you want a cheap snack/meal. Buns are $1.50 each, so you can be…read morecomfortably full under $5, or stuff yourself for under 10. They're not amazing but I didn't mind for the price. Pork buns were apparently pretty average, had onions no ginger, and too much soy sauce. They were also cold but it was near closing so the shop had run out of a lot of choices and also why they were cold. My vegetarian buns were still warm though! And they were in a cute leaf shape. Tasted good and had a variety of veggies in there. But the one to get here is definitely the pumpkin and tofu bun. These were very nice and slightly sweet. I quite enjoyed the black sesame bun also, however as with all the buns (and probably a major reason as to why they're so cheap) the filling was very minimal and most of it was the bun itself. Also there is no seating so you can sit at one of the tables outside the centre, or just take it home to eat.

Blink and you'll miss it, this tiny shopfront is stacked floor to ceiling with buns, steamer baskets and huge sacks of flour. Don't let the WHS committee know because this is where I carb up before getting out to battle for the freshest bunch of bok choy. The menu is a simply two black and white printed sheets of A4 displayed on the countertop which lists all sorts of sweet and savoury, filled and plain bao, as well as fried bread sticks and fresh soy milk, with most things giving you change from a $2 coin. That's right folks, this is bao - hipster level food - for tuck shop money. Most people get the pork buns but be adventurous and try their black sesame bun; soft pillowy bao encasing a gloriously nutty, black as night sesame filling. If you're lucky it'll be fresh out of the steamer and ready to scald your lips and fingers. Ah that hurt tastes soooo good.

Thinking about Peking Duck all night, we took a punt and head to Sunny Deafood Restaurant…read more Ordered Peking Duck 2 course, Oyster Mushroom with Chinese Broccoli and Pork Belly slow cooked in preserved veggie. Despite being a hectic night the food came out timely and the service was great. All dishes ordered today are great. The winner is the Peking Duck dishes, second one being San Choy Bow. The Pekung duck Pancake comes preassembled in half moon shape and taste really good. All ingredients are equally represented no wonder we finished it in no time. The second course being San Choy Bow is also devine. It's not overpowered with onion and garnished with water chestnut providing extra texture to the already well represented duck meat and duck skin. The pork belly is probably one of the best we had for a long time. Its so soft we hardly need any efforts to chew it. The preserved veggie is complemented with fresh bok choy providing the extra texture to this dish. The Oyster Mushroom and Chinese Broccoli is also very good. All ingredients are cut in prefect sizes making it effortless to enjoy. Can't really fail this dish.

I spoke with Tim whom was very friendly, easy going and accommodating. We decided to come back that night for our dinner celebration. Located in the Padstow Bowling Club, it was easy to park (via Stephanie St) in the club parking. My Mum is disabled and the walk and ramp were perfect. Tim and family were very attentive to our party of 11. We ordered a lot of dishes. I like the fact that they serve some yum cha dishes as well as regular Cantonese dishes. All the dishes were very good. My favorite was the Chinese Broccoli which was cooked perfectly. The Mongolian Beef was also popular. I would say that the Fried Rice was the only dish that lacked flavor. The club was also pretty quiet which was good. The bar staff were also friendly. I highly recommend a visit. There was no need to sign in.
