The Chairman and Yip
It was rainy and cold. We came all the way to Canberra for NightFest but it was cancelled because of the bad weather condition. We were very disappointed but yeah shit happens… Fortunately we had Plan B.
Before we arrived in Canberra we researched a bit on the restaurants. We found this place looking to be quite interesting. They have a restaurant in Hong Kong (大班樓) which serves very tradition Hong Kong food and was awarded with Michelin One Star in 2011. The Chairman and Yip is in the same group so we hoped it would be equally good.
Restaurant: The Chairman and Yip (http://thechairmanandyip.chairmangroup.com.au/)
Where: Address: 108 Bunda Street, Civic, Canberra, ACT 2601
The menu
Chardonnay – I didn’t know what wine to order so I asked the waitress to recommend
Pan-seared fishcakes with five spiced tomato mayonnaise
Fried king prawns with ginger infused chili
Chairman’s duck pancakes
Char grilled field mushroom with herb & cashew pesto
– the pesto sauce is a very good mix with the mushroom
Sesame crusted Ocean Trout with cinnamon infused soy
Beef & scallops ground pepper hot pot – our favourite dish of the day
Left: Creme Brulee, Right: Cinnamon and Chilli Semi Fredo and poached Pear
It was a dinner for two set which is $68 per person. The set comes with complementary tea or coffee.
Service: 9/10 – The waiters and waitresses are very well-mannered and very friendly
Rating: 8/10 – The food type is probably described as Modern Chinese Fusion for Australian’s. The food is quite delicious, food came in on time, and the staff were friendly. No complaints.
Will we go again? No, as we prefer traditional Chinese food. But we would definitely recommend people to come and experience this set Banquet.
