We ate them but they weren't the same and nor could I taste the curry in them. The spring rolls were still good. We also had steam pork dumplings which were delicious and 3 bbq pork buns, I don't know what they did to the filling but it wasn't nice at all, we also received 2 fried pork dumplings which which were ok. We took home the remainder of the steamed dumplings and we left the last Bbq pork bun. I left my sunnies and picked them up the next day and told them how disappointing the food was. I won't be going back this restaurant used to be really good but it's not now.

My wife had prawn linguine & I had the dock leg with pancetta & cous cous. She could not finish hers so I got to taste both. The prawns were incredibly fresh with a bit of heat from the chilli. I tend to not have seafood in places not near the sea but this proved me wrong. Likewise, the duck was tremendous. The Tira Mi Su finished off a perfect meal. Wine list was extensive with both European & Australian well represented. Highly recommend.

Broad beans and mint are not high on my list of things I want to eat. But regardless, I scraped my plate clean of every drop. It was a darn good plate of potatoes. For dessert I couldn't resist the tiramisu, my favorite dessert. This one was good except for the oddly thick sauce that coated it. It was almost like melted icing or a really thick creme anglaise. Very good, but very very rich. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/yoPn8Ehy2dmDfZqjUqBGXA?select=SIWl530YMcG9Np76-9h1pw I would definitely come back if I'm ever trapped in Canberra again.

Well we were there, so in we went.... Still a very elegant and inviting place -dark wood, a splash of colour around, comfortable seating, moody lighting - and the menu was appealing. A good range of dishes representing the cuisines of Canton, Sichaun and Shanghai. The wine list is well put together, with a fine selection of regions and varieties, although somewhat limited where "by the glass" is concerned. But a bottle of Geoff Merrill's Grenache rosé suited us just fine! To the food - we began with Zhong dumplings - gelatinous and tender dumplings filled with a mix of chopped boiled prawns and ginger, and doused with a mix of soy and garlic and chilli oil. These were simply outstanding - among the best dumplings we have eaten - the filling was juicy and aromatic, full of warm flavours and the companion sauces and oils a wonderful boost. Our second starter, sea scallops with sugar snap peas, sesame oil and ginger sauce, was another mouth-watering experience - the scallops were plump and luscious, so very lightly cooked, a scatter of shredded ginger added warmth and spice, while the snappy peas crunched and delighted. Stunning. Warned of the size of the mains by our waiter, we ordered only one - a very wise move - and our Sichuan Rock Ling in hot chilli oil arrived - a massive bowl of soup filled with batons of succulent fish, and well stocked with Sichuan pepper, numbing the lips and delighting the palate. A bowl of steamed rice helped soak up the soup. This was a very spicy and fitting conclusion to a brilliant lunch. I have to say Tasting China is a more than worthy tenant of the old Chairman site - excellent food, great waiters, very good beverage list, welcoming décor - it will be on my must visit restaurants for future trips to Canberra. We loved it.... Absolutely recommended!!
