Aussie-Chinese food in Chinatown…read more Just because a restaurant is located in Chinatown does not mean it is "real Chinese". But Aussie-Chinese is a bona fide regional cuisine in its own right, just as American-Chinese is a bona fide regional cuisine. * * * The population of diners here is about 2/3 Anglo. There are many restaurants in Melbourne where the customer base is nearly 100 percent Asian. That said, the food that is served is perfectly good on its own terms. I had their carefully tamed version of Singapore Chili Prawns. The fire level was toned down to just a subtle undercurrent. There was clearly sugar in the dish. There was pineapple. So technically the dish was "sweet and sour". BUT ... There was that mild undercurrent of heat that you don't get in a traditional sweet and sour. Better yet - This is what sweet and sour looked like in the original dish that was developed in Canton when catsup was first introduced to China. Sweet and sour has degenerated badly in the West from the good dish sweet and sour used to be. (Awful red glaze without the interesting acid touch brought on by the catsup now rules. Contemporary sweet and sour is cloying candy.) This "back to the roots" sweet and sour would have been hard to find in the U.S. where I live. It is intrinsically a good dish. I was happy to have it. Does this have any relationship to the Malay Cantonese fusion fire dishes that you can get in Chinese restaurants in Singapore? Of course not. But Singapore is far away and Melbourne is here and I am hungry now. Let's Eat!

Not going to lie, I was completely captivated by it. It was the first time I had seen something like this in a restaurant - America is a little behind (we still don't even really use tap to pay credit cards)! For food, we ordered a few dishes to share. We had the jellyfish, chicken and string beans in garlic sauce, and beef and clams in some sort of a pepper sauce. Everything was pretty salty. You definitely need some white rice to balance it out. We also ordered some fried rice. I wish I could tell you how that was but we finished all of our other dishes and it never came out. I think the iPad froze when we were trying to order it, so I can't really blame the restaurant for that. The service was pretty good. It was just the food that was mediocre. We really only came here because it was Chinese New Year, we wanted Chinese food, and all of the other Chinese restaurants were either packed and/or were super expensive. The Crane fitted within our budget range. I guess what my mama always told me is true - "You get what you pay for!"

The restaurant itself is a typical Chinese restaurant with poor furnishings and a lack of design and appeal. The tables are squeezed in to maximize space and noise levels can get high at times. The food however was very tasty and hearty. The prices were reasonable, and the serving sizes were adequate. I found their crab to be cooked exceptionally well here, in comparison to other restaurants of the same class. The flavors they use on their traditional crab, just seem tastier than usual. The service here is also good as staff are attentive, and the food arrives relatively quickly. This is a good causal Chinese restaurant to dine at if you're too tired to cook. Simple and local, probably would pick somewhere a bit nicer if it was for a special occasion though.
