But the greatest horror was the food itself.<BR/><BR/>The scallops aside (which were not fresh, despite their being in season) almost everything we ordered came battered and fried and... goopy. What IS the gunk they put in the batter to ensure nothing has any texture other than... goop.<BR/><BR/>The chicken & cashew - free of goop and the single, comparitive highlight of the meal - should have been labelled 'cashew & chicken' but the stunner was the eggplant.<BR/><BR/>Who the hell came up with the eggplant? Eggplant swimming - drowning - in canola? It was truly nauseating: oily AND goopy, jesus, this was truly startling. <BR/><BR/>I cannot overstate how disappointed I am; not just with Golden Harbour and its ineptitude & truly wretched food, but with HRB for her recommendation. I like Mee Wah in LTN very much, too, and hope the southern offshoot shows Hobartians how interesting, delicate AND GOOP-FREE Chinese can be!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948346.post-56903537870760691252007-07-20T23:57:00.000+10:002007-07-20T23:57:00.000+10:00Hey Georgie,Just went there.
