Blue Eye Dragon

From the same people who keep the unbelievably good value Taiwanese kitchen at Grain Tea Rice and Noodles (one of our regular favs), comes this charming little stunner on the other side of Harris St.

Blue Eye Dragon is a slightly dressier and grown up restaurant than it's sibling and lit perfectly for an intimate dinner (it's also big enough to accommodate a good sized group).

The dishes are made for sharing and include delicious fried crisp chicken with basil, five spice and a salt and pepper dipping blend on the side, tender stewed beef shin served cold but melting with sweet rice wine and soy flavour, succulent pork belly in star anise and soy sauce, tofu stuffed with pork and prawn, and truly elegant prawn and pork dumplings (that nearly disappeared before I could even snap a photo).

With BYO also on the cards, Blue Eye Dragon makes for a really great and affordably elegant night out. You're worth it.

Blue Eye Dragon is at Shop 2, 42 Harris Street, Pyrmont T: 02-9518 9955 and is only open for dinner Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday
