All People Chinese Restaurant, Burwood East by Obelix

I've always had a chuckle with the name of All People Chinese Restaurant.  It sounds simultaneously all-inclusive and propaganda-ish.  Would a patron there be swallowed up in a group hug or asked to recite from Mao's Little Red Book?


Chinese greens with tofu and mushroom

P has been to dine in at All People a few times with his friends and recommended we order take away from there one night when we were both too disorganised to cook anything.


P had been previously impressed with their seafood omelette.  He thought it was substantial (large serves entice him) as well as abundant with seafood.  He was a bit disappointed this time around.  It was still substantial but P complained it was a touch watery - perhaps to do with less filling so it was more eggy?


I was very happy with my choice of crispy fried chicken (rather unceremoniously decanted on plate but I was too hungry to rearrange!).  Crispy and consisted of a half a chook, this was a good choice to please most.


Speaking of all things fried and crispy, their calamari were also equally well executed.  There was a decent kick of fresh chili without being over powering.


Kiddo was straining at the reins to have at the chicken fried rice.  Also an all-round pleaser, perfect for kids.  As was the spring rolls.

With all the deep fried dishes, we felt compelled to at least throw in a veg.  This was our token veg dish - Chinese greens with tofu and mushroom (see first pic).  Probably claggier with corn starch than I would have preferred but that is typical of suburban Chinese restaurants.

P also ordered a small wee serve of roast pork from the roast-meat-chop-chop section but we don't have pictures of that because he ate it all whilst waiting for the other items (insert eye roll).


Spring rolls

The above plus a large serve of rice amounted to approx $90.

Verdict

We really liked it.

Mid value.

Overall

All People Chinese Restaurant is a good solid contender for Chinese food in the suburbs.
