They say that two's company and three's a crowd. There were two of my closest Asian friends who wanted to come here for dinner, and I was asked to come along and have dinner with them at the last minute. Despite a few late meeting dramas; we finally arrived at
Chin Chin on Flinders Lane on a Sunday night. This place gets busy, and if you can it would be advisable to ring ahead and book your table - however the dumb thing is you need a group of 12 people to make this happen. Three's a crowd worked out really well considering.
The spicy prawn, the crispy duck and some other meat dishes my friends ordered (my memory was somewhat blurred) made for a great night, as we sat on stools at the bar at the end of the restaurant.
The cloaking service was fantastic and the waiters wore distinctive aprons, so you know the one with "wine bar" written on his apron was the drinks guy, who actually needs to learn how to listen to his customers. Sadly. After I enquired about the flavours of one cocktail, surprisingly a cocktail arrived at our table,
what is happening here? I
asked about the cocktail - I did not
order it; I actually wanted wine. Two strikes down already.
However third time lucky; the food service was faultless and one of my friends was intrigued with what one of the chefs was making, so he (this particular attention grabbing chef) offered us a free sample of this fish delicacy for what it's worth; yummo.
Overall great food and a great ambience, although slightly spoken too highly of. Will I return? Yes I will, although not in a hurry.
