The prices are a bit higher that other Chinese restaurants in Townsville though the quality of the food and service do make this restaurant more of a fine dining restaurant compared to the average Chinese Restaurant.

I went in for dinner and went for their number Chef’s Special of the Mongolian Lamb. The dish came out sizzling on a hot plate and was delicious. The lamb was so tender and the Mongolian sauce was slightly peppery with strong flavours.

I didn’t have an entree so after polishing off the Mongolian Lamb I decided to have a dessert and being a big kid I could not go past the deep fried ice-cream. Another quality dish!

As I mentioned before, the prices are a bit high at this restaurant. One of the biggest shocks for the prices was the cost of steamed rice. They charge a whopping $11.80 for rice! You can buy a kilo of rice at the supermarket for $3, so not sure how they can justify such a high price. Even high class Chinese restaurants in Sydney only charge $3 – $4 for steamed rice. Oh well, it must be special rice they serve in Townsville! Still a great meal but the cost of steamed rice did leave me scratching my head!
