Service was quick and we were seated immediately and orders taken in no time and food was delivered shortly after. We ordered the Rare Beef Noodle Soup (we ended up with Beef Noodle Soup With Fatty Beef), Rice Vermicelli With Spring Rolls & BBQ Pork (we ended up with Special Combination Rice Vermicelli). The only thing they got right was the Young Coconut Juice. The food tasted nice and had lots of flavour but it would've been lovely if they actually got any of meals right. We were charged the higher priced dishes of course. The guy who took our order could see what I had pointed out on the menu so unsure if they do a switcheroo on unsuspecting customers. It is cheap and cheerful for what they offer though.

Ok there's a very good reason to come to this hole-in-the-wall joint. The set menus here are…read morephenomenal value and offer an authenticity rarely seen in this part of Sydney. Pictures of food with Engrish descriptions adorn the walls here. The menu too is extensive and offers the usual complements of a Chinese eaterie with some extras. It's not the most sublime environment but it is what it is - a value-for-money Chinese eaterie in a working class suburb and all the trappings of noise and curt service that comes with it. We had a set meal for 2 people costing approximately $33. Tea and rice is complimentary. Basically we got 2 dishes consisting of Fried Pork Ribs and a Steamed Fish with a side dish of vegetables. The pork ribs were alright albeit pedestrian. The real kicker here is the Steamed Fish. It is gloriously cooked and seasoned without a hint of fishiness. I look around and notice that my fellow dining compatriots have discovered the secret of this too and most have this steamed fish on their tables. I haven't gone through the entire menu but I've also tried some of their seafood dishes which are still pretty good value for things like crab or abalone. Their eggplant in hotpot is also done very well. This has become my go to when I want a no-fuss and relatively cheapish dinner with quality food and cooking.

"Have you been away?" the owner of Asakusa asked my friend and I last time we went in. "I haven't seen you in a while." Yes, we had been away. And yes, we do go there a lot. Asakusa is fantastic for inexpensive and fresh Japanese food. From the $6 Taco Yaki (fried octopus balls) and Togarashi Tofu (deep fried tofu with chilli, garlic and dried shredded tuna) to my favourite, the Asagao Dinner Box (sushi, futomaki, green salad & tuna maki) for $14.50, you leave Asakusa feeling full, healthy and happy in the knowledge that you haven't spent most of this week's budget. If you've got time, grab an Asahi and some edamame beans while you peruse the menu. Also, avoid making changes to the meals if you don't want to cause confusion.

I almost tried the first dessert on the board, called "Hot Love", but I was with my wife. My wife had some beef dish that was good, and very spicy. I had pepper and garlic squid. Maybe a touch on the chewy side. Both dishes had lots of crunchy veg in them, which I quite liked. They've got Thai and Oz beers, have a wine list and allow BYO wine, and they're even licensed to serve booze without food if that's all you want. I'd find it hard to resist, though. It was a Saturday night when I was here, and very busy. It's right beside the Orpheum cinema, so it's a great place for a bite before a film.

There were 8 bite sized chunks of chicken swimming in a very yum sauce. Daging Kicap Mani - Beef cooked in sweet Malay soy spices. This was very aromatic, the beef was super tender and very tasty. The sauce was watery though and did not make a great topping for my rice. Roti Chanai - Malaysian non yeast bread. The Roti were good. This type of roti are small and fluffy. It was super oily but very tasty. (The do have the other type of Plain Dosa which are larger & thinner.) The prices were pretty high especially considering the good quality and choice of food around Randwick. Or for a short drive to Kingsford, the huge selection of really good places. I did not have a chance to try the dessert as I had take away. I may decide to go back and try the dessert but I think the experience would be more enjoyable sitting down at the restaurant. (It may also make the price more palatable.)

Firstly let me say that the seafood Char Keow Teow was incredible. I highly recommend ordering this dish as it was authentic and cooked to perfection although sadly this was the only dish we truly loved. Don't get me wrong, the garlic roti was crispy and delish but wasn't a full on garlic hit like I expected. When there is lamb on the menu particularly in a curry I'm all over it so we chose the Korma Kambing but unfortunately the lamb was not tender, had not been cooked for long enough and the curry itself was fairly boring. The curry laksa was also lacking; the dish is prepared with egg noodles which do nothing for me compared to a laksa with vermicelli. Both dishes were quite disappointing. Sadly our steamed rice never made it to the table but we didn't bother chasing it. I love trying new places but this is one we won't bother returning to unless it was purely for the Char Keow Teow.
