Flower Drum . Cantonese Restaurant

A decade is quite a long time when it comes to the age of a restaurant - especially in Melbourne, the land of fickle diners. This Cantonese restaurant has kept it going for 46 years. The restaurant always maintains the policy that is to care about service and take care of customers to every detail. The service staff is very enthusiastic from the moment you step foot in the Market Lane lobby. They will greet you with a friendly handshake and call your name informally. Here you can reserve a table in advance with menu items.

Jason, son of Anthony, has taken over the operation of this restaurant. He still keeps his father's dedicated service style, which is to monitor the customer's facial expression to serve immediately if the customer has any request or encounters any obstacles while eating, in addition to Direct staff to serve each table. With Jason, he really brought a new era to Flower Drum. There is a fairly new concept to restaurant service today that you should prepare a list of special and seasonal dishes that are not on the normal menu. And this was fixed by Jason. He has brought the restaurant into the digital age and revived the long old menu, to entice diners to keep coming back to the restaurant.

At Flower Drum, there are many delicious dishes such as Xiao long bao, which is a dish consisting of delicious fresh sea crab balls served with a rich seafood soup. This soup is a rich, sweet-tasting broth that is cooked in an earthen pot over low heat for a long time to create a mild flavor. Or you can also try sea bass which is made into delicate fish noodles stir-fried with tangerine peel, shallots and pork sausage. Coming to a Cantonese restaurant, you must definitely try Peking Duck, because this is one of the most delicious and unique dishes in Chinese dishes. A trolley was brought out with scallions, plum sauce and crispy duck skin perfect with pancakes still being kept warm over a small fire. You will see the waiter wrap the duck skin inside the pancake with just a few quick and skillful movements like an art performance.

The quality of service as well as the taste of food here are always timeless and if Flower Drum continues to do so, Flower Drum will definitely remain the most popular Cantonese restaurant in Melbourne.
