Gold Leaf (Sunshine)

Gold Leaf on Urbanspoon

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

7 Oak Tree

  • Seven Oak Tree on Urbanspoon
  • I work in Point Cook, but have never heard of 7 Oak Tree, until I decided to do some googling. The overall feel, food, services were great.



tea for two, cutleries and utensils here are very elegant from maxwell williams designer homeware

Slow cooked beef in some sort of mushroom gravy sauce with sides… sauce and sides all tasted great but one advice I would give this cook would be to add maybe pumpkin, sweet potato and/or potato! This would compliment even better then the steamed veggies.

Lamb riblets + special BBQ sauce… this reminded me of the American BBQ pork ribs and TGIF ribs, YUM, sweet, sour, salty oh so good. This is an Aussie twist to the infamous BBQ ribs of the USA, because instead of Pork this restaurant has used Lamb. It is tender, meat does fall off the bones and the sauce was just right. Fries were ok cause they were a bit salty. This was on the lunch menu + your choice of juice/soft drink for $9.90

Overall we had two mains and 2 drinks for under $36 at a fancy looking restaurant. I am happy I have found this new place (my dentist is just next door and I never knew this place existed).
