China Tea Club Lyneham Balmain bug

Chinese food @ China Tea Club

China Tea Club in Lyneham is a fancier Chinese restaurant – plush carpet, linen tablecloth, and more sophisticated furniture than your regular cheap and cheerful Chinese spot. I have only dined at China Tea Club once, several years ago, and honestly don’t remember it. So when there was a 50% discount deal on the Fork […] Read more…

Chinese food @ Tang Dynasty (Kingston Foreshore)

I’d only been to Tang Dynasty on the Kingston Foreshore once when it first opened a few years ago. After seeing a 50% discount on The Fork app, I booked in (a couple of times) with some friends.
