Leading up to the festive period, we tried out new restaurants to try. One of the new restaurants we went to was Shaun's Kitchen in Mitcham. It is a small place, the seating was only for about 8 people. Most people takeaway, or buy frozen dim sum to steam at home. But one of the must have item here is the rice noodle rolls or cheung fun which are prepared freshly on the spot. Paired with a heavenly soy sauce blend that is so delicious it will make you want to order more.
There are limited items on the menu like pork dumplings, hargow which are steamed on order. Shaun's Kitchen has many other frozen dim sum items for sale, like chicken feet.
We ordered the beef cheung fun (so delicious) and other items. As the cheung fun stood out, I cannot remember clearly what else we ordered. I do remember thinking the dumpling skin on the hargow was a bit on the thicker side so I can probably skip that the next time.
A great bargain is the theme for the next restaurant with a Kitchen in its name. I stumbled across a promotion for $6.60 dishes at Malay Kitchen in Box Hill during their 6th anniversary celebration in November. Kiasu me had to try it out, especially since the dish of the day that was priced at $6.60 was pork intestine soup (original price $23). I love a good peppery pork intestine soup!
Although I would have thought no one else would share my love for pepper pork intestine soup, it turned out that at least 50 other people did. We had to queue up for nearly an hour before we got a seat and ordered.
Though the volume of order was crazy, the dish did not disappoint. It arrived very quickly and steaming hot. It was peppery, hearty, full of intestines and chicken, and came with rice. I was actually feeling under the weather that day, the starting of a cold but this dish warmed me up straightaway!
Malay Kitchen is an authentic Malaysian restaurant but the normal price is a bit pricey. I have tried their prawn mee and laksa, and they're both very good.
