It is Saturday night and we have lots to celebrate;
Matt and Sally won basketball Grand finals and Lisa won her netball grand final, term 3 has finished and the kids are doing well. All good.
We walk into this overly bright restaurant as an unhappy bunch; Sally dropped her phone on Lisa's head and we are never going to hear the end of it. Really, people lucky enough to have iPhones should treat them with more respect.
As I mentioned, the restaurant was overly bright, sporting countless naked light bulbs in weird shapes. A great big red coffee machine sits incongruously on a counter. Chinese food and expresso coffee - it could only work in Melbourne. The other noteworthy feature is a Barbara Streisand vinyl record and cover hanging on the wall. Maybe that has something to do with the name "Princess"? It is all beyond me. To the food...

Mark asks us what we want to eat and Matt replies with "meat". We all laugh and the iPhone on the head issue is forgotten.
We order prawn dumpling and BBQ pork buns for entree. Then we have cantonese beef, peking steak, chilli prawn, chow mien, chicken curry and fried rice. The kids are given glass jars with a handle, lid and straw. Very different.
No one is dining here. It is just us and Babs.

| Cantonese Beef |
The pork buns are ok, maybe a bit rubbery. The chow mien was fresh veggies with a deep fried something on top. Not bad. The cantonese beef is like popcorn. Yummy. The Peking Beef was the highlight and the special fried rice has pineapple on top.
A nice, simple chinese restaurant which will not break the bank with our bill reaching $125. It is just a bot lonely sitting here with no one else.
