Superbowl - Cabramatta

Today, I ended up in Cabramatta searching for a place to dine and came across 'Superbowl'. For those that don't know Superbowl is a very popular supper (10pm-2am) dining place located in Chinatown. I was surprised that they had one in Cabramatta and as such decided to dine here this evening.

The whole design of the restaurant is MUCH MUCH better and cleaner than their Chinatown counterpart, and overall I think a very nice place for a casual dinner.

At entry, knowing this IS the under the same establishment as the Chinatown Superbowl, I wasn't really expecting much... however, on entry we were greeted and offered a nice table to sit at. The menus came and  we quickly made our orders. 

After ordering, we were offered complimentary soup and some snacks, the soup was very very nice and the flavouring of the 'dried vegetables' in the soup was very imminent..

Also bought coke, they looked awesome so I thought I'd take a photo. Don't see these often. (300mL tall cans)

Quickly following the soup, came the Salt and Pepper Prawns. Their Salt and Pepper cooking style was top-notch, crunchy-ness was well controlled, the spices well balanced and wasn't too salty, nor too spicy. Very nice!

 After that came the Peking Duck pancakes. Peking Duck in most restaurants provide a 2-course choice, first is the pancake and second, a selection between Shredded Duck Noodles or Duck Sang Chow Bow. as Traditional Peking Duck pancakes only use the skin and little meat of the duck, thus the remaining meat of the duck will be used on your second course. We picked the Sang Chow Bow.

The Peking Duck here was of very top quality, good Peking Duck is defined by golden crunchy skin, with a touch of meat and tiny bit of fat, most, if not all pieces of the duck for the pancakes met these requirements. As with all Peking duck pancakes, there is some green inside each, these are normally raw cucumber, shallots or radish. Here we had cucumber and shallots. Cucumber was fresh and the shallots were very juicy and easy to bite through.
They provided 12 pancakes for a full duck and 6 for half.

 This is the Sang Chow Bow it came with, 6 pieces for full and 3 pieces for half. Very well fried with a touch of lightly fried red onions creating a different and delicious taste.

 Following up we had Ginger Shallot Steamed Baby Abalone, it looked too good when they presented it as such this is all I had left after I quickly consumed it. The amount of ginger and shallot provided was very abundant and was steamed to a point where it was easy to bite through.Baby Abalones are fresh picked from the tank and you can see them pick them out of the tank. The Sweet Seafood Soy Sauce was very well mixed and overall a very nice dish.

I'm not sure when this arrived on the table, but this is the Curry Calamari. It follows closely with the original Hong Kong taste of Curry Fishballs but made with Calamari. Little bit hot for my liking but as I said, the 'original Hong Kong taste'. It should be immediately available as these are readily available for purchase at the front counter in a pan.

When we were done with all the food, we were offered complimentary dessert 'Bitter Melon Pudding'. Their Bitter Melon Pudding was very very nice. Didn't taste the bitterness in the bitter melon at all, soft and jelly and topped with coconut cream with sago at the bottom of the bowl, just perfect.

All in all, this was a VERY pleasant dining experience for me, especially for a casual dinner and I practically have nothing bad  to say about this place, service was great, food was great and pricing is very reasonable.

Casual Dinner

My Rating: 9.5/10
