This Chinese restaurant recently opened up in Smith St Mall in Darwin City. I can hear the masses crying out already -”What?!? Another f*cking Chinese restaurant?!?” But fear not my homosapian colleagues for this one is rather different from the norm. You won’t find any freaking mongolian beef on the menu for example.

In fact, most of the dishes on the smallish menu (dinner menu that is, the lunch menu one is different) are quite differen’t to the usual Chinese restaurant fare that you get around here and all sound very tasty. I’m going to have to work my way down the list in future visits although there only seems to be one or two dishes without any meat in it - vegetarians better not visit.

The prices are damn cheap with mains ranging around the $12 mark if I can recall correctly. My babe and I had 2 starters, drinks, rice and 2 mains for about $40. You can’t spend 5 minutes in a nightclub without spending that kind of money these days.

Speaking of which, you could be forgiven you had walked into a club upon entering. High ceilings, shiny floor, tables and chairs, dark glossy paint job, lots of polished metal and a glass walled office on the second floor. Very swanky and impressive.

It wasn’t very busy when we visited, so the two young waiters were just twitching with every movement the diners made, eager to serve and please. I like good service.

Tasty House sure lives up to its name and I will be visiting again soon. I even spotted the owner of the mighty Hanuman restaurant eating there.

Tasty House is open for lunch and dinner and can be found on Smith Street Mall, Darwin City.
