Taste Gallery | Market Square, SUNNYBANK QLD 4109
My
dad arrived from China on Tuesday. As he only flies over to Australia
to visit twice a year, the other travel bunnie and I were extremely
excited about taking my parents somewhere for dinner to welcome him.
Perhaps
it was my baby bump talking but I had massive cravings for Peking
Duck and feeling lost as to where to go for it, I picked up the phone
and made a reservation at Taste Gallery. The other travel bunnie and
I had been to Taste Gallery a long time ago when they first opened
and neither of us were too impressed with the experience. I was
hoping that that would change.
Unfortunately,
it didn’t.
The
Peking Duck Three Ways,
albeit extremely cheap at $48.80, was nowhere near as nice as what a
properly cooked Peking Duck is supposed to be. To start with, the
duck was not sliced in front of us at the table. The pre-sliced skin
were placed on prawn crackers and brought to us with chunks of
unevenly sliced cucumbers. The waiter that took our order had little
knowledge about the dish and didn’t even know how many pancakes
were supposed to come with the order. The noodles were really oily
but the soup was tasty (and it was perhaps the most popular dish of
the night). In addition, we also ordered braised chicken
fillets with super spicy sauce ($14.80),
stewed eggplant with Szechuan sauce ($15.80)
and lemon chicken ($15.80).
The
lemon chicken was the worst of all. It was bland, covered in a thick
layer of flour and for the price that we paid I was expecting more
than just food-court quality lemon chicken. Having said all that, I
did enjoy the braised chicken fillets with super spicy sauce. The
chicken fillets were extremely tender and the fiery sauce left me
wanting more.
The
service was unfortunately equally as disappointing as the duck and
the lemon chicken dishes.
I
can’t see myself going back there ever again.
Total
Bunnie Dollars Spent: $110.40
