Golden Horse Dinner Sep 29 2009

Date: 29/9/2009
Restaurant: Golden Horse Restaurant
Address: 374 Great South Rd, Greenlane, Auckland
Website: None
Party size: 2

Parking: They have no official parking, but there are a couple across the street which you should be able to park at night
When we get seated: 6:45pm
When we left: 7:45pm


Today's experience:

Food ordered: 3.2 pound Lobster, grouper pot ($124)

Presentation: standard cantonese cuisine

Overall comment: Pretty good. A 3 pound lobster is usually eaten by a whole table (12 people) but we are sharing with just 2 tonight. So we would be able to eat lobster pieces after pieces without reserve. It is cook in standard cantonese style and they did a fine job with it. Lobster, compare to other cantonese food are more forgiving to the kitchen. Meaning if a chinese kitchen make poor lobster, they really sucks. The grouper pot is also good, the size is larger than I expect with only $16.

Environment: Maybe because it is a weekday and it is raining, they only have 2-3 tables in the entire restaurant. Other than that there is no fault to pick on for the environment. Nothing special, but nothing bad.

Final comment: Golden Horse is relatively cheap compare to other restaurant and you can easily spend less than $20 per person if you are not ordering pricy item like lobsters. Their food is decent so it provide good value to the customer

Final grade: B-
