As a child, every friday night we would go to the local chinese and have a good old sit down bogan meal with the family. That resturant was the Sing Wah in Balgowlah on the Northern Beaches. Last time I looked, that place was still open, but there have been occasions when it has been shut due to insect infestations and the like.
I don't really care, my point here is, that the Sing Wah restaurant in Balgowlah NSW made the best short soup I have ever tasted and I NEVER, EVER, EVER have tasted anything like it again. I have searched high, I have searched low..... I am not sure what was in that wonton soup (cockroaches maybe) but it was named the 'Holy Grail of Short Shoup' by my family.
Well Listen up people. Ming Dragon is home of the Holy Grail. I am in no way insinuating that Ming Dragon possible have insects in their wontons, I'm more than sure their hygeine levels are superb. It's just.....the only time I have ever tasted Wonton Soup like those cockroach laden wontons of joy I grew up on.
Look, the Ming Dragon do everything well, i'll just put that out there. EVERYTHING. It all tastes just like awesome. For me it's about the short soup.
Yes I am basing my review on one bowl of soup. It still counts because I have actually eaten a rather large portion of their menu, quite regularly. It's all good, I said that. Forget all that. SOUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPP
The people who run the restaurant even remind me of the same people who were at the Sing Wah, there is your token big asian mumma, the funny happy skinny husband, some random kids scattered around the restaurant doing colouring in, and the pre-requiste five caucasian waitresses that smart asian restaurants know they have to employ to deal with drunk whiteys who can't hear very well or understand chingrish.
I flippin love this place. its good, Go there. The wrost thing they could ever say to me is... 'NO SOUP FOR YOU!!'
Just on a side note..... This restaurant is within Mingara Recreation Club. So you have a couple of choices..... you can get drunk, then get hungry, and stumble two metres to a table and stuff your face. Do it! They will still be nice to you...they are like that!
Failing that you can eat first, then get drunk, and to top it off, Mingara seems to me like some wierd Los Vegas Nevada type place, thats been dropped in boganville central, so you can waste any money you have left over in the poker machines.
So lets wrap this up here.....At Ming Dragon, You may eat the holy grail of soup and win your booze money back, all in one night. It's a win win.
