I came by to get takeaway for lunch. They have lunch specials for only $6.80 a protein with a side of fried rice. What a bargain! I ordered the sweet and sour pork with fried rice. The meal was ready in 5 minutes. Straightaway when I opened the container I noticed there was a generous serve of veggies and meat and a little rice, which was great for lunch because you don’t want to be too full. The fried rice was OK there wasn’t anything special about it but it wasn’t bad. The veggies were fresh and cooked well. The sauce was good it wasn’t one of the bright red sickly sweet ones you get in the food courts it’s proper sweet and sour sauce. The only letdown was the pork each piece I bit into was mostly batter and very tiny pieces of pork. I have to say the batter was nice and chewy and deep fried well, not oily at all. But I felt as though I was eating batter with fried rice. At the price that I paid though, I can’t really complain, but next time I’ll try something else instead. The place looked clean and the lady boss was very sweet and polite.

The quality of the food and service were both very good. The standout dish was the banana fritter, which was wonderfully light and crispy - the best we've had in Melbourne.

Formica tables make this not a great eat in date place. Fantastic takeaway though.
