Goodtime

The menu is divided into yum cha, kitchen snacks, mains and chef;s specials, with a generous all-you-can-eat banquet also available for $49pp (Kids $29)..

The wide selection of Yum Cha dishes includes squid ink prawn wasabi dumplings, BBQ pork buns, steamed vegetarian dumplings, pork ribs in black bean sauce, prok dumplings Szechuan style and Piggy custard buns (pig-shaped buns filled with custard).
For mains, there's a choice of noodle soups (vegetable or chicken laksa, prawn wonton or crispy chicken); chicken chow mein with black beans (flying noodles); crispy curry chicken or crispy black pepper chicken on rice; truffled fried rice or Uncle Roger's special fried rice.
The Chef's Specials come recommended and these include trout fillets with lychee, Bangkok style (sweet'n'sour); braised pork belly; and king prawns, Singapore style with bao.
