Golden Century, Chinatown Sydney

By June 16, 2009 Foodie, Travel 4 Comments

I forgot to mention that Chinatown is around 2 New York blocks from the hotel- so it is nearby too.  Our first meal was lunch and we chose Golden Century which was recommended by almost everyone we had asked.  And this became Dad and Mom’s favorite that we ate here 3 times!  And you will be surprised how long the lines are even if the restaurant fits maybe 300 people- it is 2 floors!

Fresh! Live! Tasmanian crabs!!

Fresh water tanks with all seafood!! WOW!!!  You shop for your seafood by the kilo and they weigh it and show it to you,

then you decide how you want it cooked

Here is the Tasmanian crab we got- it was big because we are quite a big family

The waiter was giving it to me to carry – I did not want, so did Javier- he was scared

We had the crab 3 ways- All were really good but we were too full to eat the noodles which came last

with Ginger and shallot

The second time around, Dad wanted to try the snow crab which is a white crab and it is smaller than the tazmanian crab. YUMMY TOO!

They had other Chinese food just like any Chinese restaurant but I did not feature the others that we ordered like siomai, pork ribs, spring rolls – they were also good but it was the fresh seafood that really caught our attention!

Here is some mixed seafood  salt and peppered also – I like those small fish!

3rd time we went back was Dad’s choice since it was his birthday!  So, he wanted the Tasmanian crab again!
