..this is what I've been told, the regulars get good food.

Shouldn't they look after every customer ???

Yes they should or its descrimination IMO.

There is a lot of types of Chinese dishes not just fried rice, lemon chicken and dim sums... LOL!

So lets say your Asian they probley give you the menu with more 'Traditional' dishes and if your Western they give you the menu with a more Westernised/Asian dishes / flavours.

But hey, if you know what your ordering and know of many traditional Asian dishes, then go right ahead and order it and they will give it to you. They probley be quite suprised if you did know and more than happy to prepare and serve it to you.

For example there is a fish dish where it is deep fried fillets in batter mixed with a sweet corn soup type of sauce, I guess that would be more appealing to Western customers as opposed to an entire steamed fish where the head, tail, and bones are left and you pick the meat off, dip it in soya sauce and eat it would be a more traditional dish.

Yes Iam serious, we Asian steam a whole fish and eat the meat out of the cheeks / head and there is a bit of meat towards the end before the tail. LMAO!!!

But I have seen western ppl order and eat the same dish. So if you know what you want just order it and they give it to you.

you gotta be a regular to appreciate it.

whenever i walk in the dude's already written down pork ribs with spicy salt and mixed fried rice on his piece of paper. and the food... well at 3am nothing tastes better.

Its not the best food, and to be honest if you're a Evo driving yuppie you'll never come back once you've eaten there... and it's probably better kept that way too. But for a night with the lads its a decent meal, and a good setting for a fortnightly catchup.

Anything tastes good @ 3am :D

But we just went in there, ordered, it was average.

I could name a dozen places in the CBD as i eat Asian about 3-4 times a week that are all better than RK :D

Agree 100%

It doesnt claim to be the best restaurant in Melbourne. Its not aiming at the elite clientele, and doesnt boast how good its sevice is.

What it does do is offer a decent feed for a fair price. I know that each time i go there, I get a seat, my Chinese tea and a BBQ Pork on Rice for like $8.50. I have never had a bad meal there, but i dont expect it to be absolutely the most amazing meal ever either!

When i recommend it, its because its BYO, you can get a table for 12 people and you can have a good feed for under $20 per head

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
