Seabay has been around for a very long time, it used to be an old, dark and dodgy little place on pitt street, but they have done it up the past couple of years. Its not so dodgy, but very bright and shinny - on some nights you definitely need your sunnies! It is so bright! Thankfully, the owner hasn't changed and you are guaranteed a delightful meal.
As much as I love just eating with hubby, the more the merrier right? More food and more choices, and who better than my brother and his gf to join - I know how much they both LOVE food :)We pretty much knew what we wanted to order - the usual choice of dumpling and noodles. Fried dumplings of course - slightly pan fried on the outside, and moist on the inside. I usually saturate my dumpling in vinegar and chilli! Although, everyone is different, some have it with just with soy sauce, and some just as it is! You get a good serving of dumplings - 12 on the plate.
The fried noodles is also quite generous - it's apparently 'hand made' and it comes with either beef / chicken or pork. We opted for the beef and it came out quickly. I am still not 100% sure if its handmade, I know the dumplings are as I have peeked in the kitchen and have seen a couple of older ladies sitting there tunning dumplings one by one!
We would usually order more dumplings, but thought we would try something different - salt and pepper pork. It came on a bed of shredded lettuce, and looked 'different'. But don't let that fool you! It was tasty! It had the right amount of salt and pepper! Personally, it could be a little bit more spicier, but I am big fan of chilli! Everything just tastes so much better with chilli!
We have never ever ordered this next dish, and I wish I had discovered it earlier - better late than never I guess. Eggplant with seabay 'special' sauce. I am not 100% sure what the sauce is, but it was a slightly saulty, yet sweet. Its like they put honey but it wasnt gooey like. The 'special' sauce was indeed special, and hubby is not usually a big fan of eggplant but surprisingly enjoyed it.
You can never go wrong with Seabay - don't let the door or the dodgy sign fool you! It is child friendly, and one of the best place for dumplings in the city. It is quite reasonable in price, and the staff are friendly, although, might not be as tentative as other chinese restaurant. It is value for money, and definitely worth a visit if you haven't been before.
