We decided on Banquet A for two people which included Mixed Entree (moneybags, satay sticks, curry puffs and spring rolls) followed by Penang Curry and Deep-Fried Soft-Shell Crab with a glass of wine or coffee. All at the low price of $26 each.


At $26 a head it was very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious!

Includes: Mixed Entree for Two


Free glass of wine or coffee


Panang Curry



Deep-fried soft shell crab with thai sauce

One of the best restaurants in Wollongong is Chefs Choice. You cannot beat it for value. There is a large thermos of green tea on every table and unless your meal has noodles you will usually get a big bowl of free rice. There is something to please everyone here. My favuorite meal is the absolutely delicious Pippies in XO Sauce. Unfortunately it wasn't on the menu when I last visited so I settled on a firm favourite - Seafood Laksa hotpot

Seafood laksa

Perusing the menu - everything is such good value!

Laksa Wonton Noodle Soup - $7



My husband loved his meal - Chicken with Chinese mushroom hotpot. We love chinese mushroom and there was a sweetness to the sauce, almost like a chicken and sweet corn flavour. Delicious!

Located inside Wiseman Park Wollongong City Bowling Club is The Park restaurant. Being a local I really love it that a top class restaurant is so close by. Their chef is very friendly and will cater to those with low carb needs. I swear by his warm thai salad and the garlic prawns are amazing. Wanting to try something different we looked at the specials board.

Lamb Noisettes - lam rolled with spinach, sundried tomatoes and served with roasted vegetables, peas and corn - $13



Steak and Ribs - $26




Not a bad way to spend your time during the friday night meat raffle and members draw.

On February 15th Philip and I went up to Sydney so that I could attend the Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom seminar. For dinner we went to a lovely restaurant in Sydney's Chinatown (Haymarket) called Shinju Teppanyaki.

Valentines Day, Feb 14 2007 - Oriental Expressions in Keira Street Wollongong is offering a special banquet which we find too good to pass up.

Entree: Tempura King Prawns

Dinner: Peking Duck - three courses of duck, each course served with freshly made pancakes which you wrap the duck in. First course is aromatic duck - crispy duck that looks like it has been minced and fried. Very tasty!


Next is duck skin, which was decadent.



Then it was a stir fry of duck - my favourite!



Dessert: Green Tea Icecream

The banquet came with a glass of wine each but since we had a Rewards Club Card (1 free entree/yum cha or glass of house wine with any ala'carte main. 1 per card) we were rewarded with another glass. Halfway through the night our waitress brought over a rose hand carved out of carrot that had a bamboo stem. It was such a lovley touch, as was the candle on each table. Definitely a memorable night.
