The Eight Modern Chinese Restaurant

The Eight Modern Chinese Restaurant

Its yum cha with a ritzy twist at The Eight, a seafood restaurant by night, tucked away in Sydney Central shopping complex. The number eight symbolizes luck and wealth to the Chinese, so expect to find I woven into the carpet, twisted into screens, and repeated in the menu and pone number of this barn like 750-seater. With the kitchen serving so many people, it’s probably best to throw any expectation of pacing to the wind, and prepare for a dish deluge. We had succulent prawn (the dumpling dishes are $3.80-$4.80 a serve) as starters. Worth sampling are the dumplings with tasty barbecued pork, peanuts and crispy vegetables. The dishes are big on individual flavors and generous of portion. Next was a prawn ball with herbs and cheese ad barbecued pork, the latte being juicy and tasty but served cold. With stomachs beginning to sag, we opt for seafood and pork dumplings (with the fillings exquis itely wrapped in the parcels), dim sim and green beans. There were limp and disappointing. Green tea and gorgeous mango pancakes made for a delightful end to proceeding for $65 for two.
