Chinese Herbal King Seafood Restaurant
Leslie Chan is a third generation Chinese Physician, and this newly opened restaurant combines his interest in Chinese herbs with a range of Chinese and Equatorial dishes. Leslie believes the herbs make his dishes healthier and tastier, and after trying his cuisine, I’m inclined to agree. This stance about health is backed up by him not offering soft drinks ‘ just tea and juice. Leslie writes the recipes (he says timing is crucial) and his wife Demi Chan performs the magic in the kitchen. His marketing claim ‘probably the best Singapore Chilli Crab in Sydney‘ holds true for me ‘ eating the divine sauce on roti had me moaning with pleasure! The close-by Sydney Fish Market helps ‘ you can taste freshness and quality in the wonderful Malay dish of Deep Fried Prawns in Shell with Coconut Butter. While you’re there, why not change everyone’s fortune for the better with the Good Fortune dish’ To achieve this you all sprinkle a package of sesame seeds over an excellent salad flavoured with raw salmon, jellyfish and grapefruit, then mix it with chopsticks as a group. It’s generally served in Singapore and Malaysia at New Year, but here you can have it every day from 8am-midnight – park across the road for free between 10am and 3pm, or after 7pm.
