My girlfriend and I wanted to try some Chinese foods in Sydney CBD. We decided to go to Chef's Gallery near Town Hall. We came at six for dinner. It was fully-booked that Friday afternoon. Luckily, there were two bar seat that available.

Gourmet Dim Sims

 

For the dim sims, we ordered Prawn Dumplings and Steamed Chicken and Prawn Shiu Mai. The shiu mai topped with a seared scallop and garnished with red flying fish roe. The prawn dumplings was very nice. The prawn was freshly cooked so we could taste the crunchiness of the prawn. The scallop on top of the shiu mai was different from the others. Some was well-done, some was rarely cooked. But it was nothing compared with the taste of the shiu mai!

Vegetable and Tofu

 

We ordered chef's own handmade egg and spinach tofu. It was lightly pan fried and topped with preserved vegetables. The tofu was very soft and well cooked. The taste was very nice! It combines the salty flavor from the toppings, sweet flavor from the soy sauce and the tofu flavor.

Fried Rice

 

We ordered fried rice for the main meal for today. The fried rice comes with prawns and diced Chinese olive. Once again, the prawns were very freshly cooked! The prawns was very crunchy and taste nice. Overall, the fried rice was little bit salty but it still tasted awesome!

The whole meal cost about AUD$70 for the two of us. It was not too expensive for the quality of the foods. The environment was not really good because it was too noisy. We would definitely return to Chef's Gallery for another Chinese foods. A little advice, you better make a reservation first before coming to Chef's Gallery. Specially on weekend dinner time :)
