Gold Leaf (Sunshine)

Gold leaf is the place to eat if you want authentic Chinese, they offer Yum Cha brunch and large functions too (Banquet style). I've been to most Gold Leaf from Docklands to Springvale, to their all you can eat hot pot and here (they are scattered all over Melbourne), I must admit they do rarely go wrong. Everything I've tried has been just right, and your pocket would be happy here too, they don't overcharge. 

I think dishes below are from their banquet menu, and dessert and fruit were all inclusive, I'm not quiet sure because this was an invite only 1st birthday party. 

Staff do sound rude but thats because of their Asian background, their strong broken English can come out wrong, just look through that and you'll enjoy it more here. They all have proper uniform, the place looks nice and clean, and well decked out to suit with the Chinese red and gold lucky coloured theme. 

 cold entree: duck feet (YUM!), jelly fish, pork, octopus and salted beef (this was a lil salty)

 XO Oysters & Ginger Oysters

 Ginger Crab on Egg Noodle

 Whole Fish Steamed in Special Soya Sauce

Ask for rice anytime, as the dishes below all can be enjoyed with rice

 Fried Chicken, this is better then KFC, kids will devour it in a jiffy

 Clay Pot: tofu, mushroom, veggies, octopus, fish

Stir Fried Beans and Beef

FIRST TASTE

• 
First taste is an authentic Chinese/Asian restaurant in Footscray, it’s got an extensive herbal soup and claypot range; majority is good if you like the bitterness in soup. I’m not a fan of soup or hard, crunchy, crusty rice in claypots but my partner loves this stuff. Other than that they have added crab on the menu, and if you are going to order dishes to share with steamed rice, overall, dishes here are good and prices are very decent especially for cooked crab (about $50 a pound depending on the season, but its always top quality grab).
I like dinner here for price, service and quality, do try it.

Claypot and Chinese herbal soup is the most renown here, but at lunch people tend to order the wonton noodle soup as well (good too)

Black Pepper Crab, it's really good even better then Chef Lagenda but not as good as Omah (the best in my opinion)

Chilli Crab is delicious too, but they don't provide roti or bread so B.Y.O (you are allowed to hehehe, we do it all the time). I've tried this crab mixed with egg noodles but it made the crab more boring and you get full too quick

Stir fried beef eggs and veggies - don't know how they make the beef tender and crunchy, its good. I wouldn't order this if I didn't eat with a group of people.

Boring Mie Goreng - don't try it, make the 2 min packet at home cheaper and you get the same result.

Chilli shrimp paste stir fried Okra - gooeyness, saltiness, fishiness, chilliness ...yummy, hehehe may turn people off but this makes a good dish with steamed rice.
