Chatswood BBQ & Hotpot

You come for the barbecue, the crackling, flavourful fat, the succulent flesh of roast duck and pork, the special hock and ears, the duck's tongues and wings. You succumb to the long menu, to inspired combos of chopped preserved egg and salty egg with spinach in a light stock and the satisfying contrast of scrambled egg, bitter melon and preserved vegetables. Hotpots are crammed full, flavours clean and well defined in the mixed veg with tofu. Forty rice-based varieties are cooked to order in 20 minutes. Service is fast, friendly. You leave to the thwack of the barbecue cleaver - a rhythmic reminder to take a carton home.
