We held a small party here last Oct. when my sisters came for a visit from Hong Kong. They craved for a nice Chinese meal in Brisbane, particularly the Qld mud crab. Therefore, I suggested to ask the owner of this restaurant-Wei Ge to help. He arranged dishes of live eel, mud crab, steamed oysters, pig trotter, steamed chicken and Chinese vegetable with preserved egg. Honestly, Wei Ge never lets me down. The live eel in two way (steamed and braised in hot pot) deserves everybody’s thumb-up. My sisters comment that they never have such good live eel in their life. Also, the steamed chicken is so juicy and tenderized that they are shocked of WeiGe’s culinary skill. Needless to say, the two mud crabs done in two way (stir-fried with ginger & shallots and stir-fried with vermicelli) are so tasteful that win their appreciation as well.
What a good job! Thanks for Wei Ge.

So, how could we not try the eel that the in-laws raved about? They used live eel (not the frozen ones) prior to cooking and you could taste the freshness of the meat, in this spicy black bean sauce. Not every chef can cook this well, and Lily's Kitchen's chef has definitely aced it!
Delicious tasty traditional chinese restaurant food - no MSG! Good variety on the menu with lots of the traditional choices and everything has lots of flavour. Like the food you remember getting as a child when the family going to a chinese restaurant, was an exciting thing to do! The food is fresh and reasonably priced with an extensive menu. The venue is clean and they now have booths since the renovation but don't expect anything flashy. You see families of asians coming in so you know that's got to be a good thing. They are tucked away in the commerical/industrial end of Coopers Plains. Plenty of off street parking. Some of the staff just need to smile once in a while.
