Let's have a look at the festive menu served at this nostalgic place.

财源广进



huat ah!


refreshingly sweet and crunchy


Superior Broth with Fish Maw and Crabmeat



I liked it with black vinegar but most of my dining companions prefers to put pepper instead.

bowl of umami



Housemade Chicken




nutritious stuffings in the chicken


The plump looking chicken was stuffed with carrot cubes, chestnuts, herbs and cooked till tender. Broth tasted more floral than herbal, with a sweet finish.


Steamed Red Grouper in Superior Soy Sauce

What's your favourite fish for steamed style cooking?


Golden Tiger Prawns


The prawns were of a good size and loved the tiny details in the plating of the dish. Contrary to the red specks on the prawns, this dish is not spicy.

Wok-fried Specialty Kai Lan




Do you prefer the leaves or the stem? 


Imperial Treasure Steamed in Lotus Leaf




Enjoy the delicate taste of the sweet savoury lap cheong (preserved sausage), sliced abalone, sliced pork, together with the savoury dried shrimp flavoured sticky rice. The rice portion was plenty.


Chef's Creation

golden jelly


Dessert was a lovely hue of golden. The jelly taste was mild with a hint of osmanthus. A very light dessert.

Thank you Kris for the invite and Karen, Goldleaf Restaurant for hosting the dinner. Special thanks to the staff whom attended to our table that night.


Wishing everyone 蛇年快乐!

[Travel Tasmania] Rupert & Hound @ Seaport Launceston

Rupert & Hound is located just steps away from Peppers Seaport Hotel, so we visited for a cosy, intimate dinner.

nice and cosy


Hence and Tracy have been here before, so they recommended some starters.

Breads


Stonebaked Ciabatta @AUD14


Loved the homemade tomato butter served with the bread. So so tasty!


R&H Entree



Tasmanian Scallops @AUD25


Lovely presentation with the orange-hued sauce, with the scallops placed ontop of some kind of sweet savoury chorizo jam (looked like sambal!). Scallops were smallish but nicely seared.



The crispy pork pancakes reminds me of Peking duck-styled of eating. Thin crepe, served with sliced spring onions and cucumber but instead of the dark sauce, there's mayonnaise and chili caramel.

R&H Classics and New Menu



Chargrilled Porterhouse @AUD52


Beef Cheek Pasta



Scottsdale Pork Belly @AUD38


Fisherman's Favourite @AUD37


There's gummy shark, scallops and calamari in the Fisherman's Favourite.

Coal Valley Quail @AUD24



I had the quail and it was nicely cooked with tender springy meat. There was a mound of sweet potato puree, hence leaning towards the sweeter side.


Staff was friendly and pleasant to converse with. Thank you for taking care of our table that night!
