China Tea House Erindale 5 April 2023

Present: Jim, Karen, John, Kim, Megan, Ron

A regular favourite, a bit noisy but we're the stayers and as the restaurant empties the noise level drops.

The duck pancakes were disappointing as the pancakes not crisp enough (first world problem) and fell apart when we tried to lift them up.  Apart from that, the duck was in pieces, no sign of cucumber or spring onion but we ate them all despite these minor disappointments.

The seafood dumplings on the other hand were delicious, crispy with a big lump of seafood inside, totally yum.

The eggplant and seafood in chilly bean sauce was nice, especially with the prawns and calamari.

Stir fry spicy pork belly also nice, the pork slices not too fatty.  Not overly spicy, could have done with some more flavour.

The soft shell crab was crunch, salty and up to its usual standard.

The pepper sauce beef steak was very tender with a black bean flavour.  Approval given and lastly the deep fried lamb was given the thumbs up.  The sauce had a vinegary mint flavour but overall the lamb wasn't as crisp as in the pictures.

China Tea House is a great go to local restaurant, always guaranteeing a decent feed.
