Maharaja Haveli at Quakers' Hill

The Chowdharys invited us, along with Heidi and Paul Cordato. Phil C was late, got lost. He does not have a SatNav and can't read his directory without his glasses.

The restaurant is huge with a sweet section, a cafe and the restaurant proper. The service is lacking and the waiters/waitresses don't seem to comprehend requests.

But the food is very good. We had spicy dry fish and a prawn dish for entree. For mains, Kulwant ordered chicken briyani, fish curry (?Goan), sarg (spinach with paneer) and chicken curry.

Choptsticks at Harris Park

We were expected the worst at this Indian Chinese restaurant. Service was indeed slow so luckily we ate before 1800h on Sunday.

We had Schewan (sic) fried rice with chicken which was like nasi goreng. Tasty
The 'dry' fish on sizzling hot plate was good too.
The prawn masala has tamarind in it and was nice, too.
The battered mushroom with pepper, an entree, was served with the mains at my request.
We all loved the dry gobi manchuria. A sauce would have dampened the crispiness of the batter. It is not as good Woodlands' version but it was still delicious.

The cook and owner is Tibetan!

With Eunice's mango lassi, the bill came to under $66.

Next time, we will try the spicy eggplant.

Golden Kingdom

We had a dinner with Chris and Fran, and Eunice. The owner was supposed to have changed and the food has deteriorated. Not true. It was still good and cheap.

The Peking duck on Wed to Fri is under $30!

We had salted fish fried rice, shangtong chicken, Peking shredded beef, duck with taro and pipa tofu. Very nice and cheap and good service.

We note that mud crab is under $30 per lb.
