WANTAN MEE @ SUPERCHEF BBQ
Market City, Sydney, Australia - September, 2013
Craving for some oriental food after four days in Sydney (... see Sydney 2013 Day 4 blog), we dropped by Market City in Chinatown. On recommendations by a cousin residing in Sydney, we are going to try out this place called "Super Chef BBQ" that serves one of the best roast duck and wantan noodles in the land down under.
Super Chef BBQ is one of many stalls in the food court of Market City in Chinatown, Sydney. To get to the food court, go to Markety City on Hay Street, take the escalator from the ground floor (Paddy's Market is on the ground floor) up to the second floor (Level 3), the food court is at one end of this floor.
The two of us ordered slightly different. Lynn ordered the dry wantan noodles with BBQ duck and wantans, with a small bowl of soup served separately. I had the soup wantan noodles with BBQ duck and large prawns - my cousin did say that their BBQ duck is one of the best, so we both had the duck.
But we forget that food in Australia is served in generous portions! Both came with a good quantity of noodles, many pieces of duck, wantans and prawns. Looks like we will not be able to finish all of these!
Let's start with the overall dishes themselves before we go into details of the ingredients.
The dry "konloh" noodles was tasty but lacked a good dose of thick soy sauce that I am used to. The noodles themselves were the round type but still have that slight bouncy bite.
The soup had a strong taste of duck with a underlying flavour of prawns. The prawny taste must be because the prawns were cooked in the soup and the ducky taste from the dunking of the duck meat into it. Both dishes came with some vegetable in the form "choy sum" and garnished with a sprinkling of bits of spring onion.
The wanton dumplings were of larger size than what I am used too and had a slightly thicker skin. The meat inside was mince not to finely (as it should be) and was seasoned with some salt and pepper. Although good, I would have preferred more skin and less meat.
Like all most seafood in Sydney, the prawns were very fresh. The type of prawns they used must have been the "white-shell" type as the meat were not tough and the taste good.
I am saving the best for last - the duck meat. These came is good thick cuts, the meat itself being surprisingly tender with that underlying ducky aroma. The slightly thick skin was nicely barbecued to give it a crispy bite. A thin layer of fat below the skin gave that final flavour and scent to the meat. YummY!
The stall operates under an open concept, the kitchen and preparation areas can be viewed by the public, there is nothing to hide.
To one corner, fresh whole ducks with their bodily openings sealed are hung up to dry in preparation for the following day barbecuing.
The menu including pricing is on a lighted box hung up above the box. They serve noodles, rice and even curries, & tomyam. Prices range from AUD9-00 to AUD11-50 for the main dishes.
A second menu is placed on the side wall and counter. Side orders are listed here too.
I did not try the pork dishes as on advise from my cousin, pork here tastes different on account of their different feed. Perhaps if someone tries it, they could let me know.
