Emperor’s Garden 2.0 open on Thomas St (we’ve been open since 1991, but google reviewers only gave us 2.6 stars, so no one gives us any love…maybe we can change that and win your love?)

We make wonton noodle soup too?
This menu hack is so hidden, even who spends every day fixing up Chinatown didn’t even know we make it.

Uncle Leong does the same tea routine every morning, so I asked him to tell me about it.

He migrated from Southern China back in the 80s and always gives me a smile and wave every time he sees me with my camera out.

Seriously, I have been craving this all week long! Picked up my takeaway box of soya chicken rice from 🥢 I have never…. NEVER been so excited to the unboxing of a take-away as I have tonight!

Let me just say, this was hands down the best serve of soy chicken I’ve ever had… Ever! This is why, I’m kinda fussy about my soya chicken. Firstly tonight I was granted my request for breast chicken meat… not always available from the usually militant person behind the counter, kinda like the episode from Seinfeld ‘No soup for you’. To be fair I guess They don’t always like to break up a whole chicken. My serve of soya breast chicken was super tender, with its signature deep flavour of soy! (Compared to others that were like eating cardboard with non existent flavour). The meal was served on a fluffy bed of seasoned rice, asian greens, with the perfect amount of ginger & shallots, all the stars was aligned making it this the perfect serving!

I’m still basking in the glow of this dish… I was in my happy place 😊 I will be dreaming about this all week long. Can you believe I still get this excited about food …. Get a grip Wongy 😆🥢
