Saw people recommending on social media so decided to try my favourite dish, grilled fish, in this restaurant. 1st red flag: This restaurant called steamed bun restaurant but they are doing Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine at the same time, which are completely different. One is extremely spicy and the other is not spicy AT ALL AT ALL. Anyway I still ordered my grilled fish. The peanuts in it are not crispy at all so who knows how long they were kept in the fridge. 2nd: this is the first grilled fish I ever had that has rice cake in it like literally and the cheapest bean sprout. The fish is also really small and apart from the rice cake, not crispy peanuts and cheapest bean sprout it only has black fungus in it. I ordered spicy grilled fish but somehow my grilled fish doesn’t taste spicy at all. I didn’t say anything because I thought Oh this must be their spicy level. Later on, on the docket I saw this is the cumin flavour. This ruined my meal and my day. But have to say their black truffle xiaolongbao did taste nice.

Read moreMy first trip to melbourne led me to discover this place on a quest for a late night feed. sitting down with my friends, there were orders of pork belly, chicken wontons in chili sauce and steamed pork buns.
the pork belly came out first, with a fragrant broth and the most tender pork i've had in a long time. the broth was hearty, full of home style flavours that satisfied the soul, and the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
the chicken wonton in chili sauce was exactly the right amount of spice, full of flavour and kept ypu going back for more.
the steamed pork buns were classic and perfect; sweet dough and full flavoured meat combining to make a masterpiece.
to finish, we had the fried ice cream. cononut in the batter with chocolate sauce encasing a vanilla scoop makes for the best finisher to the most satisfying meal i've had in a long, long time.
this place is amazing. i will make an effort to come back here again before i leave, and look for an excuse to come to melbourne just to eat here again.
i would suggest this place to anyone who likes great...
