This restaurant has a name that I can never get right. Thank god I can google the first word in the title to find out how to spell the rest of it. The first thing that impressed me about this place was their glossy menu with impressive pictures of the food on offer. The prices…

Concubine
Fine dining Chinese restaurants are places I don’t usually go to. The place is worlds away from it’s nearest competitors that are just a few shops down.

My Yen Chinese Restaurant
Do you know how you can tell whether a Chinese restaurant is authentic or not? By the number of Asian people dining there. No Chinese restaurant is more authentic than My Yen.

Cafe Michael 2
Cafe Michael 2 is small and cosy, and the whole restaurant, both inside and out, would seat 108 people. The decor is modern and stylish, and the service here is excellent. When I spilt a glass of water, it was quickly cleaned up. When I dropped my spoon on the floor, it was immediately replaced…

Ying Chow
The abundance of Chinese restaurants down Gouger Street. With so many options, the choice is a difficult one! Ying Chow reminds me of Ky Chow when it used to be located closer to the Chinatown entrance. The old menus, the cramped seating and the basic decor were some of the features. Coming here with a…
