Dai's Golden Crown Restaurant

This week on my food blog is all about Cremorne! It was a coincidence really - one night at Taronga Zoo and the next at the incredible Cremorne Orpheum for a movie, needing a meal on both evenings. Dai's Golden Crown is a small, unassuming restaurant that serves Chinese and Malaysian cuisine. We started with deep-fried wontons and san choi bao. Our main dishes were delicious mussels in black bean and chili sauce and steamed duck in crab sauce. Initially, I thought the food was simple and straightforward Chinese fare, but upon further reflection, I realized that the quality of the dishes was actually quite high. The meal was very tasty, and at under $80 for two people, including a glass of wine each, it was reasonably priced (we also received a discount with my Entertainment card).

Beautiful meal, good service. I recommend the prawns here we had the prawn laksa as well as the salt and pepper prawns. Both dishes were delicious, evidently made with very fresh large prawns. We also enjoyed the deep fried ice cream at the end as a throwback to our childhood. It is a Chinese restaurant with a nostalgic feel to it, as if you have entered a time warp 20 years ago with some dated decor. This atmosphere makes it all the more authentic and true to style, it serves tasty authentic Chinese cuisine.

One of the best chinese option in Cremorne Mosman area. They deliver from menulog as well. Ingredient taste fresh and also cooking technique is perfect. Also the pricing is reasonable for the area. Highly recommend to anyone in the area and craving chinese food.

OMG. Do not go here. I found an intact, large cockroach wing in my food here. How disgusting! This restaurant had already been reported for foul hygiene but we thought it had mended its ways. I am sick with disgust.

Because we dine with Dai's on a regular basis, tonight's meal was free! Bonus we thought! But what a disappointment! The very same meal we always order arrived with half of it missing. A normally delicious combination wonton soup served with the combination in one container and the broth in another to be combined when ready to eat arrived a thick gooey stodgy mess in one container. Shame on you Dai's!
