Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
V Hotel.
Ordered the 300g scotchie with surf n turf, they got my plate mixed up and alerted me just after I had cut one piece (delivered the 300g rump s'n't instead), they asked me what I wanted to do and I said "I'd prefer to have my scotch fillet" they then offered me to have both then the idiot next to me said "He said he wanted his scotch fillet" so they took the rump away as they put down the scotchie.
The GF and i always order separate dishes and then half them, she ordered to salt and pepper squid, it was huge and absolutely sensational.
My only gripe is something I will rectify next time, the serve too many chips, I'm not much of a chip fan but I will order a side of gravy next time.
Overall 8.5.
Mandarin Coin (Northeast Road).
GF suggested takeaway, I said we should just dine.
The prices are a bit higher dining in but the serves are larger and the owner even pointed out that dining in is a better experience and that he will look after us even better next time.
Special Fried Rice was OK, it's hard being satisfied after experiencing the House of the Red Dragon's SFR. ($14 for extra large)
Satay Chicken entree: Very nice and well worth it. ($10 for 3 sticks)
Mongolian Fillet Beef: Amazing taste, meat was tender as can be. ($25.50)
Chicken Chop Suey: Tasted good,I was disappointed once the GF ordered it as it has too many vegies for it's price IMO ($26)
You get a basket of complimentary prawn crackers once seated too, they didn't say a word the whole time though.
I'll definitely be returning, after seeing the MFB I'm sure the GF will order something a little more hearty next time too.
8.5 once again.
I had a good day on the punt so that's why we went, stopped in at the Grove on the way home where I put $15 in the "Big Red" pokie and took out $250 so went home after that, followed up yesterday with turning my last $3 in my Sportsbet account into $330 for afternoon while breaking in my new spit with a 2kg lamb yiros, I can't wait to host something big to have the smoker, the Weber, the spit and BBQ all cooking something each in tandem! Life Goals!!

Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
I've had the smoker doing ribs with apple wood and the spit with yiros over coals going together.
It's an erecting aroma.

Re: Restaurant & Pub Reviews
Before using the smoker/weber, make sure you rub your meat well
Helps get the flavours infused into it....
Worked a treat with the piece of scotch fillet we whacked on the weber last Sunday.

Yes been there a few times over the last couple of years cholesterol permitting. I've never complained. Schnitzels are comparable in size to the big ones you can get at the Coopers Alehouse/Earl of Aberdeen on Hurtle Square (I think 600g?).
