Mum and I have heard many good things about this restaurant but we haven't had the opportunity to visit it until now. As expected, the dishes were pretty spicy, but thankfully, not as oily as some Sichuan restaurant food I've had. All the dishes were great: the fish in the soup wasn't overcooked and the ham choi gave it the right amount of sourness, the eggplant was crispy (and slightly sweet) on the outside with a soft centre.

A2 had some friends over and mum wanted to give her some privacy, so the rest of us went out for dinner with a family friend. Mum changed her mind about the location a few times but finally decided on No. 8 in Crown. It's a modern Australian restaurant that served mostly seafood.
