The Crane - Review - 212 Little Bourke Street Melbourne, VIC 3000

The Crane restaurant in Chinatown is a nice budget Chinese restaurant.  It is always a good sign if there are plenty of customers so rest assured that The Crane is pretty good as far as a cheap and cheerful Chinese restaurant goes.

Crowded and popular

Hainan special chicken is always a favourite of mind.  I've always wondered why it is often declared Hainan as to my own personal history its very Cantonese.  I digress.  Anyway, this was kind of what you expect but if you make the effort to cook this at home you can do better.

A bit of spice is always good.  I love my chilly and this looks hotter than it actually is.  Anyway, a nice dish to quench the taste buds.

Hot and spicy chicken

Vietnamese inspired fried quail is a personal favourite of mine.  When I dine Vietnamese this is always so tempting.  It's not so much the quail as the combination of the quail with the other ingredients.  Anyway, this was great although I can get better in Footscray.
