This old-school regional Chinese restaurant is a delicious time-warp to the 1970s
Shandong chicken is a highlight, with vinegar-sharp skin and juicy-enough flesh under a foliage of coriander. Mapo tofu eats more like a Country Women's casserole than anything from Sichuan, but it's exactly what you want on a cold Bowral night. The fried ice-cream is as good as it gets. Before Teresa and Michael took the keys, the dining room was shuttered for two months. Many locals were worried it wouldn't reopen – a place of countless first dates, final birthdays and celebrations gone forever. Like the wonderful Chan's Canton Village in Casula, which did permanently close last year, it's the kind of place that invites calls of 'It should be heritage-listed'. Maybe, but a listing can also bring about increased maintenance costs, and these Australian-Chinese institutions should function as restaurants, not museums. The best way to keep these regional institutions alive? Stop in for a Crown Lager and ham roll when next in town. Good Food Guide.
