..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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
