13 Nov Ju Dumpling House, Hawthorn

My first visit to this restaurant, located where the first site of Sichuan Dining Room (Sichuan Dining Room relocated up the road but has since closed down for good, which is a shame). No special occasion; mum couldn’t be bothered cooking today.

The tofu dish was quite nice and may be worth attempting at home; the egg yolk in the sauce made it taste so much better than if it weren’t added. The menu actually said ‘egg tofu and prawns’ so I originally thought it would have Japanese-style egg tofu. The fish soup was also good, but very spicy. It didn’t look was there was that much chilli in it. Mongolian beef was ordinary.

Most Impressive: Tofu, Egg Yolk and Prawn
Least Impressive/Mediocre: Mongolian Beef
Remember:  Tofu, Egg Yolk and Prawn; Sichuan Style Fish Soup
