Alright people.... yesterday I went to my friend Layton's house to stay over night. And his mum brought us to eat the best dinner I ever had (in terms of food) so far in Perth. Sadly i did not have my camera with me but just let me describe as explicitly to you as possible. I'm sure you'll drool at the end of this.
Last night we went to this chinese restaurant called GRAND PALACE in Perth City, just over seeing the bell tower. The restaurant stands by itself. Though it is a Chinese restaurant, it's exterior is of an European style. Really classic. Once you step in, you can see the zen design of wooden flooring but post-modern circular lamp shades. The table tops are furnished with the classiest tableware. Besides the usual bowls and plates, there's a wine glass and the napkin is held by a silver ring. Once you sit in your black leather chair, the manager of the restaurant will come and place the napkin on your lap. Right behind youat the foregroup, you'll see a really gorgeous bar complete with bar stools made for the 21st century. Turn your head a little and see the huge racks of wine and champagne. Classy huh. Let's get on to the food shall we?
There's 4 of us, my friend, his mom, his himestay and me. First came our soup, I ordered Hot & Sour soup, it was really good. The soup here comes in individual serving so you can pick what you want.
Then, comes the main course. PEKING DUCK!!! Apparently his mum ordered a duck earlier in the day. The waitress pulled out a trolley with the deliciously roasted duck on the top. They cut and served us. Peking Duck comes with 2 dishes. First, is the standard crispy duck skin wrapped in the "spring roll" skin. Next, the meat of the duck was diced up and served again in iceberg lettuce. Really cute, they have the meat cook again with some veg and put in a lettuce leaf that forms the edible bowl. Sweet!
Next we had sizzling chicken and sizzling King Prawns. And they are really sizzling. The waitress comes out with the bowl of chicken and prawns, accompanied with a hot plate. Then, she'll pour all the ingredients in the hot plate and it will sizzle in front of your eyes. The chicken's great and the prawns all fat and juicy.
Then comes the boiled beef cooked in chilli oil. My first time tasting it and is really good. Must learn how to make sia. Was tasting and trying to make out how it's made. Asked Auntie and she gave me some pointers....gonna try....ha ha!
After all that, lastly comes the dessert. Another special, sweet potato in pan cake, fried till crispy. But, totally not oily at all. Crisp at the right place and is kinda like a pastry feel too. Served like a French dessert on a classy rectangular porcelin plate. Two pieces of pancake, one scoop of ice cream and whipped cream. Absolutely marvellous!!!!
Wow.... one good satisfying meal for the week....ha ha!
DDDDDDDRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
