My saturday nights are usually reserved for dining out. Last night, we chose to eat at Lychie Restaurant in Glenelg (South Australia) for the second time. The first time we ate there, many months ago, it was newly opened. We tried their yum cha after seeing an article on a magazine. Although their take on yum cha wasn't exactly traditional, we did enjoy it and so we thought we should come back to try their a la carte menu.
On our second visit, we ordered 3 dishes - China Roast Duck, Bok Choy & Peking Style Pork Ribs. Here's what I though of the dishes...
We really liked the Roast Duck, the best among the dishes we ordered. Although it wasn't perfect, the skin was really crispy and there weren't much fat between the skin & meat. The pork is alright. I like the sauce but I thought the meat could be a little more tender. The bok choy on the otherhand was cooked well. It remained crispy and served with just the right amount of sauce.
Overall, it was a pleasant meal. It was not by any means traditional nor cheap compared to the restaurants in Chinatown but it was not bad at all. I think they are catering more to the Australian market with their menu, pricing and location rather the Asians, who would probably go to the Chinatown to eat Chinese rather than this part of town. Nevertheless the food and service was good enough for us to come back again, even just so we could try their Peking Duck.
