Friendship Oriental Restaraunt

Hi guys, last night (for valentines day) we went up to Beverly Hills (near Hurstville) for a nice seafood dinner. Check it out. We ended up ordering a lot, and it was all fantastic!


Above is a shark-fin and crab meat soup for two, it was really good, the best of this kind of soup i have had.


This little fella became the centre of of meal, see below. He was about $78 per kilo. We had it cooked with ginger, garlic and schallots.

The Bargain of the night, below, was half a crispy skin chicken with some ymmy sauces - for $1.80! haha, but limit of one per table, and only as an additional dish, still - bargain.
This is braised prawns and abalone! it was fantastic, it was my first time to have abalone, and the mushrooms were the best i have ever had.My first taste of abalone.
All of that food was between 2 people! just kate and i... but we finished it, and rice, and wine! See below, there was very little left after 2 hours of solid eating!
So i would really reccomend this place to anyone wanting to try a chinese seafood restaraunt. The prices were a little higher than others for some dishes ($37 for prawn and abalone) but the quality of the ingrediants accounted for that. And the specials ($8.80pp for the soup, $1.80 for chicken and $85 for the lobster) were all very reasonable. And corkage was just $2.
a solid 3.75 stars! (out of 5)
(short of 4 because the atmosphere, decor and service
were not as good as they could have been)
