Fortuna Palace Restaurant — Restaurant in Wollongong City Council

This is a trip through time ; a delicious ,nostalgic dip into the Australian~Chinese restaurants of my childhood. I still remember my father coming home on my 11th Birthday ,announcing that a Chinese restaurant had just opened up in the heart of town and suggesting we all eat there .It was the first time I had tasted cuisine from another culture. I wasn't to know at the time, that the food had been adapted to suit the Western palate, but I loved it ! Even though my youngest son is now 18 and the experience was a long time ago I have very fond memories which I can re-live in the Fortuna Palace.

I have never had a Combination chow mein where noodles is almost nonexistent. Combination veg should not look like food scraps or a stage shy of compost. And when everything taste the same, u know there is something seriously wrong with the chef. I am sure this restaurant has seen better days and the steam rice was still eatable. I wouldn't take the family back...
