LOTS TO EAT AT @birkenheadpoint
Birkenhead Point Outlet Drummoyne
Birkenhead Point is my favorite place in Sydney for outlet shopping, partly because of the beautiful water views, partly because of the Nike outlet store and their 40% off storewide days (IYKYK) ) and all of the other great shopping deals you'll find here, and also now partly because of the food! After visiting Gozleme Turkish House and trying Rukiye's incredible food there not long ago, I'm back at Birkenhead to try another great spot!
How often do you find a whole Chinese restaurant in a shopping center? Let alone one that hasn't been known for their food in the past. Panda@ is on the ground floor, a short walk from the main food court. You'll walk past it if you're not looking. Classic great signs you'll see - an aunty making fresh dumplings at the window and an uncle dressed in casual clothes running the wok. Their menu's a mix of dumplings, noodles and stir-fry.
The most impressive dish here was the pickled mustard greens and fish soup. I believe it's Sichuan-style and they use mackerel. The soup came out on a colossal bowl at a very reasonable $31. It's not a soup you see often at these sorts of non-flashy Chinese restaurants in Sydney but it's very tasty if you feel like adventuring away from your regular order. They also do 'orange chicken' here! It was my first time seeing this in Sydney, though it's a popular order at Panda Express in the States. Aussies are more accustomed to lemon chicken, so just think that but with a more orange juice-y profile. We also tried their xiao long bao ๅฐ็ฌผๅ and sheng jian bao ็็ ๅ (pan-fried pork buns), both nice and soupy, and their Lanzhou beef...

ย ย ย Read moreA very upsetting dining experience. We regularly dine at this cafe restaurant, and usually spend over $300 per visit. Generally the food and service is quite impressive, but unfortunately today we were very disappointed with the quality of service that we received when we ordered the main size of garlic prawns that came with minimal amount of sauce over the prawns. So we asked the waiter if we could have some extra sauce on top of the prawns. We waited around 10 minutes before they brought a bowl of sauce and we thanked them for that. But unfortunately, when we received the bill they charged us four dollars for the extra sauce that was supposed to be on the dish in the first place. This was a shortcoming on the chefs part .When asked why we were charged four dollars on the receipt, the waitress said โ I was told to charge you for the sauceโ . This clearly does not portray a sense of goodwill from the kitchen/chef/restaurant owner and management. We will not be dining at this restaurant ever again, and will be cancelling our Christmas function that we have already booked...
