Pudding or Dessert- Its Your Take

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece. —quote Miguel de Cervantes. It is always nice to end your meals especially the spicy and hot ones with a contrasting sweet note . Though we have not much dessert range on our menu the selected type of sweets we offer generally goes down well with our customers.

An enormous serve of timeless Australian favourite namely the Banana Fritter. This is a quintessential sweet dish popular enough to be on most Chinese restaurant 'afters' menu .For a full photographic effect of this picture on the internet click on the photo itself to enlarge and click back arrow on top left corner to return.

Dom's Teahouse By Night

ot everyone has been to the Teahouse down at Blackman's Bay in Hobart. But if you do you'll soon realise just how small the dining room is compared to all the other premises which I have operated over the years. Considering the demand pull of our small outlet's service to the residents of the ever sprawling suburb down here chances are by the weekend we shall be running out of room if you don't book early enough for your table or if you turn up at our eating house in an impromptu manner. You might feel like you have wasted your movement since you have done your commuting distance or disappointed because your nightout or dining time fail your planned expectation. Perhaps you will find this tidbits of information useful; our restaurant telephone number being 62297633. Generally speaking you will find us here around 3 p.m. in the afternoon because we just trade at night. The only exception being Monday because it is our only day off from work.


Accessibility is easy. There is lots of free parking space here unlike over-crowded places like Salamanca Place during the weekend. Parking after hours any night here at the shopping centre is just as easy as parking right outside the premises. This is not to forget mentioning a fair few car parking space made available for the disabled The picture looks rather desolate in the dark. But upon entering the dining room it can be quite the opposite. The shopping centre has been renovated recently since a change of ownership. Interior decorations refurbishments and exterior downlighting are at my own expense I dread to see the next rental price increase.
A good thing about the development here is the existence of a bottle shop as it would be such a complimentary thing to be operating next to a restaurant. Unfortunately that shuts around 6.30 p.m. every night.
Entrees are a plenty to choose from at the legendary Teahouse. There are Malaysian curry puffs, Thai Spring Rolls, Skewered Chicken Satay with peanut sauce, Vegetarian Spring Roll, including home-made Dim Sums.We get occasional scoreboard for some Chinese Lup Cheon and soup dish like Wonton still.


Photos are unavoidably repetitive because there is no attempt at plagiarism here. Most work are the author's originals unless otherwise specified and sourced. We attain to stay on the right side of authenticity and originality.
The input of material and ingredients into every dish here generally exceed that of average Asian Eating Houses around town. There is more variety and choice and the serving is plainly speaking far generous. Consider the versatility of Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine. The number of flavors that can be achieved by preparing ingredients, spices and chilies in different angles can be very inspiring and titillating.

The cheers the exuberance the hospitality and the human happiness


Insofar as dining matters are concerned this is what it will look like when a small restaurant is full and the small dining room fills up in no time. So once again I suggest try and book early to avoid disappointment. Meantime cheers to all my readers wherever you are!

Everlasting Memories

his is really a tribute to all those in the public young and old that gave me their unrequited and full support over the years that I were down at Salamanca area. It is the sort of overwhelming support and warmth that gave me a cause for its continuance to what is the type of Teahouse today. These are not the high profile celebrities or the ever attention vying tactical politicians . Neither is it the prominent public figures nor our self-appointed ever 'know all' luminaries and media anointed food critics but really this is just the ordinary daily common folks like you and me that ultimately formulates the success of a place or perhaps many other places all over Australia. Many a history has been born and buried. But there is no better a time than now to reminisce and recapture the sweet memories. Sweet as they are an aching void the world would never fill...the pictures say it all.

Have A happy Easter

Nearly all restaurants depend on weekend trade especially on Friday and Saturday nights being the main bulk of their trade activity for the week. This is here where you can conserve and perhaps convert that weekend surplus to cushion and cover for the other slacker and leaner odd weeknight’s trade But on a night such as the ‘Good Friday’ night and nights like Christmas Eve I know for a fact that most eateries will do Zilch or ‘bugger all’ trade as they said in Australia unless there are lots of tourists about. If I let my calendar be dictated by the social events of the day I’ll very soon be paddling up the wrong creek.

When it comes to Easter I know for a fact my sisters abroad were being religious. They observe Ash Wednesday. Then they strictly observe Good Friday by attending masses fasting and abstaining from having meat. And on Palm Sunday they will celebrate and rejoice over the Resurrection. About the only Easter eggs I have ever seen were their real hard boiled eggs that they painted in red colour. But that’s all I understood from my past.


Over here in Australia it is quite different. It is perhaps particularly interesting to note that the trend nowadays is not to abstain from meat but to have a change in a choice of taste. They go for fish, seafood and vegetarian dish. Fishmongers and supermarkets over the place do make a brisking trade this week. Congregation do not count a lot. I once had a real estate salesperson that approached me for a sale of a disused church in West Hobart. Some brokers come to think of it will sell you anything ranging from grandmothers to a kitchen sink. What on earth would I make use of a church for? Another nightclub in the pipeline perhaps? That means I have to employ more bouncers. Or some town pad condominium. But the ceiling would be too high. Think of the next heating bill in a place like this.

For the children the hunt is for the Easter eggs and bugs bunny marshmallow and perhaps a bite or two of the hot cross buns. Usually the goods will be packaged on Saturday evening and hunting for them comes earnest on Sunday morning, by which time they have been mysteriously hidden all over the house and garden.
According to the children's stories, the eggs were hidden overnight and other treats delivered by the bunnies in an Easter basket which children find waiting for them when they wake up. The more grown ups will attend musical rock concerts and Royal agricultural shows. The parents will probably take a holiday in their holiday shacks or visit friends and relatives interstate. And others well, they will go fishing.

Yet there is another exciting hunt that is really going on in Tasmania. Rumours had it abound that Tassal Tasmania one of the big aquaculture type of Fishery company in nearby Dover southern suburb of Hobart that breeds live Atlantic Sea salmon had in place sizable stock earmarked for the markets over the Easter week. Before they’re ready for sale the stock has to be flushed with fresh water in their enclosed reservoir. But during the process of flushing the net enclosure became entangled and got ruptured on the adjoining reef and soon it was discovered that more than 50,000 of the company’s full-grown size Atlantic salmon had swam towards their freedom into the open seas.

Tasmania is an island state surrounded by water and it is estimated that nearly one out of every five householders have a boat or watercraft of some sorts and fishing has been such a popular hobby locally and especially this time of the year when the weather is still reasonable before the fall. But if fish is becoming more popular with Australians regularly purchasing a wide variety of fish species for consumption and as demand increases put pressure on wild fish stocks then whether inadvertently or not releasing of some fresh water stock may truly be a blessing. A sizeable catch indeed if the rumour is right then this Easter’s treasure hunt may well turn out to be more than a ‘finder’s keepers’ game by anyone’s judgement.
