We continued with our hunt for Malaysian food in Australia and dined here for dinner one night…read more It was a popular casual spot and filled up quickly. The menu had all the Malaysian food we were familiar with. Orders were placed and paid for at the cashier in the front. Tap water, utensils and napkins were self serve at the front. The sequence of our order was a little different with the entrees first and the roti last. The laksa was full of chicken, bean sprouts and thin noodles. I just got regular and it packed enough heat from the soup for me. However I was expecting more flavors out of this laksa based on past experience. The seafood CKT had a good mix of shrimp, squid, mussels and fish balls but seemed a bit on the smaller side. The smokiness of the wokhei was good and the overall dish had the right amount of oiliness. The roti was disappointing as it seemed overly fried and difficult to pull apart. The side of sauce tasted like the laksa soup but I detected an older oil taste when chewing it. Definitely not one I'd order again. Dishes were cleared by the staff after our meal and the next customer waiting inside quickly took over table. Overall a mixed bag for us.

I just wasn't that impressed with what I got though. The sambal tofu was small in portion size, and there was a lot of some sort of squash the menu hadn't mentioned and not that much tofu. It was tasty and a bit spicy, but not nearly good enough to be worth getting on any kind of regular basis. I will say that though the price was high, they were open over Easter break and didn't have an extra surcharge during that period (as is not uncommon in Australian business), so that's good. But while the service and ambiance were nice, I felt I could have done better.

The flavors weren't special either. Don't get me wrong, the food was edible -- but I didn't enjoy it, and my wife really didn't. I love food from the Xi'an region - but would really appreciate better quality ingredients, and more flavor in the sauces / marinades etc. (and more meat and veggies, less bone - that is big). Sorry, but we thought it was pricey for the quality.

On our way back from Bruny Island, we were looking for an Asian place to grab dinner. Seeing as we…read morehadn't ate a real meal for lunch, I wanted to eat something satisfying. Xi'AN Dumpling, a Northern Chinese restaurant, sounded perfect. We dropped in on a Friday evening (around 6:45pm). Not many people eating in but there were a lot of mainlanders that came to grab takeout. The inside is a lot nicer than you'd expect for a Northern Chinese spot but it was cold inside (with the AC blasting). The menu is short with 21 items; dumplings, buns/Chinese burgers, cold noodles, handmade/pulled noodles and soup noodles. They also had a picture menu but oddly, it doesn't match up to the regular menu. - Dumplings in hot and sour soup (#3) ($15.00 AUD) - you get twelve homemade dumplings and choose from 7 options. We went with pork shrimp; good amount of filling and excellent texture to the wrapping. The broth was sour and tangy. Yum. - Chinese cumin lamb pork burger (#9 ($8.00 AUD) - this wasn't very good. The bread was dry and bland. Even the meat wasn't tender. Skip it. - Cold noodle with chili oil and mixed sauce (#10) ($12.00 AUD) - came with sliced cucumbers and bean sprouts in a light sesame sauce. We got this dish because they'd already sold out of the traditional cold noodles (#6). A solid portion of noodles; I liked it. Noodles had a good bite. - Biangbiang noodle with sliced beef (spicy) (#16) ($15.00 AUD) - traditional handmade noodles (aka. hand pulled). These were legit! Great bite and texture to the noodles. The spicy sauce was delicious. Only disappointment was the sliced beef; not as good as the norm. Overall, solid spot to get Northern Chinese food in Hobart. Hopefully, you're luckier and get to try the traditional cold noodles.
