We went to Chrysanthemum House in Doncaster. Its on 843 Doncaster road so give it a go if you're there. As the name suggests its a chinese restaurant but I've never been there so it was an experience for me as well.
I was told by my friends later that this place has recently been sold so its under new management which in a way is good because my friends notice that they have new sets of cutlery and table cloths! A good change from the chipped tea cups and bowls found in some chinese restaurants! Haha.
Don't know why its called the Chrysanthemum House because I couldn't find a single chrysanthemum there and the chinese name doesn't translate to chrysanthemum either. Eh, my chinese is poor but I do recognise the 2 characters on the right to suggest that it doesn't mean chrysanthemum alright!
We ordered the typical chinese dishes with rice like long beans, beef, crispy skin chicken, steamed barramundi fish, etc... The fish turned out to be a bit fishy but I liked the crispy skin chicken best! Nothing too extraordinary so not going to pin a medal on the restaurant! But we were there to celebrate my friend's birthday and he did pay for it and it was a good night out!
After dinner we adjourned to the birthday boy's house for cake and coffee. Happy XX birthday Mr.V! Will be my turn in a couple of weeks so better think of a place. Any suggestion anyone?
