Chin Chin!!!

Hello.. I have finally organised pictures on my laptop and phone and wow..there are a lot of piks of food..sometimes many of one dish from every angle and many of my one and only nephew! I love LACHLAN!! haha 

Anyways...I am slowly making my way through this.. but I have a mind of a goldfish and need time to remember what I ate..hahaha

So, 2 weeks ago I went to eat at a restaurant called CHIN CHIN. Situated at 125 Flinders Lane (competitively close to CODA) hehe, it is a modern Thai eatery. Very funky and spacious..did I mention delicious as well?

Oyster Omelette

I ordered this because it reminded me of my trip to Penang. creamy oysters with egg served with fresh herbs and bean shoots. The sauce was sweet and tangy with a hint of chilli. I'm not sure what that crispy thing on top is, but it added crunch to the dish.

Kingfish Sashimi

I apologise for the almost eaten dish picture...hahaha and poor lighting... I forgot to take a photo and devoured it only to remember at the last minute with one left. It was delicious, that's why it was almost gone..just like that. The fresh kingfish was complimented with a lime type nam jihm sauce. Sweet and tangy with drops of coconut milk/cream. Scattered on top were picked thai basil leaves and julienne kaffir lime leaves with little pieces of chopped lime segments.

Caramelised pork 

So, I decided that my main dishes had to look better than the entrees and threw all pride out the door when I turned on my flash. hehehe Then I could imagine the other customers sitting nearby labelling me as one of the 'typical asian chicks who takes photos of every dish'..I might as well get used to it! The colour is amazing hahah and you guys can see the details. The pork was soft and tasty and sweet with more fresh herbs to garnish.

Mandarin Duck

This sweet succulent dish was wonderful!! The meat was juicy, the skin so crispy. And the sauce..sweet and tangy.

Son in law eggs

Soft poached and flash fried, these eggs were delicious with the chilli sauce they came with. I love runny yolk goodness and it didn't disappoint..

..but with every dish being Sweet and tangy..I was all sugared out to have desserts. I would love to go back to Chin Chin but with a lot more people to try other interesting items on the menu..and hopefully pick a balance of sweet and tangy, or salty dishes.
