4 Chinese Restaurants in Gold Coast

Most of us have favourite dishes that we look forward to enjoying time and time again when we visit our favourite Chinese restaurants on the Gold Coast. These old friends include classics like lemon chicken, a light and zingy dish that is packed with flavour – where fruity elements combine with mild spice. Sweet and sour pork is another popular dish, and its bright orange colour is a familiar sight on tables of the Gold Coast's Chinese restaurants where the sauce combination of sweet sugar and sour vinegar creates a well-balanced and tasty dish. Gong Bao chicken adds a little spice to the mix, with dried chillies and fried peanuts combined with chicken in this medium-hot dish from Sichuan. Peking duck is also always popular and the little pancakes with their delicious sauce, crispy duck and cucumber are one of the familiar icons of Chinese restaurants on the Gold Coast, particularly when eating with groups!

Australia has such a rich variety of excellent local ingredients that it is perhaps no wonder that the creative chefs in the kitchens of the Gold Coast's Chinese restaurants are incorporating them into some fantastic new dishes. For example, Australia is rightly famous for the quality of its beef and this is becoming a star ingredient in dishes such as braised beef with soy and star anise. The local seafood is similarly excellent and is extensively used in dishes like shrimp with broccoli and garlic sauce. Vegetarians are not forgotten either, with excellent recipes such as stir-fried sesame vegetables in ginger, garlic and peanut sauce on menus too.
