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?

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.

All People Chinese Restaurant, Burwood East, seafood omelette

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?

All People Chinese Restaurant, Burwood East, crispy fried chicken

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.

All People Chinese Restaurant, Burwood East, fried calamari

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.

All People Chinese Restaurant, Burwood East, chicken fried rice

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).
