Four Seasons BBQ House, Bayswater

Four Seasons BBQ House has been in operation for over 10 years in Bayswater and we have been there several times. There is good wok hei in their dishes. I would say it is an authentic Cantonese restaurant that can give the 'chow lous' (fancy Canto dinner restaurants) a run for their money. I am not sure if their name copies the famous Four Seasons in London but they do sell some good roast meats here, like roast duck and roast pork. 

I have fond memories of Four Seasons in London where I ate my first HK style chow hor fun with roast duck. OMG, it was so so good. The hor fun had wok hei, and the roast duck is just unlike anything I have eaten in Malaysia. The sweet, salty, fragrant roast duck was fabulous. Then I came to Australia and all Cantonese roast ducks are like that and there are plenty of HK chefs around. That's when I vowed not to leave... 

Last year when we went to California, I discovered there are even better HK style food around. I think these foods are even better than the ones I had eaten as a kid in the island of Hong Kong. If I ever go back to the US, it would be for the HK food. 

Anyway, back to Four Seasons BBQ House's review. We ordered the Duck with Taro and Salted Egg Tofu ($23). 

I did not expect the duck to be covered in white creamy taro sauce. It was different, it was like West Lake Duck, but with gravy. West Lake Duck is a duck dish where mashed taro is pasted to duck slices then deep fried. 

The salted egg tamago tofu ($23). I was unsure what tamago tofu was until I realised tamago = egg in Japanese so it's the Japanese egg tofu that is used in this dish. I love the Japanese egg tofu for the fragrant egg smell and taste so it was an auto order for me. Luckily we had some kind of gravy from the duck taro dish otherwise our meal would have been very dry. 

 The latest reviews from Google shows that the restaurant has had some renovations and a change in the menu. They are no longer offering roast meats, in which case a rebranding of their restaurant name may be in order!
