Storm Village Restaurant

I had a great experience here! We had the pig’s feet and an eggplant and capsicum dish - both were super tasty and delicious! The pig’s feet were cooked really well in a very tasty sauce, and the eggplant dish was also so flavoursome! The sauce was super delicious, I couldn’t get enough of it!!!

Storm village in Ultimo occupies a prominant spot on Broadway surrounded by other established eateries. The restaurant looks spacious, bright and appealing at night and is nicely fitted out with wooden partitions, Chinese paintings and caligraphy. The story behind the name to the restaurant centres around martial arts and Storm village was headquaters of all martial artists overseas. They say that the menu items all reflect martial arts in some form but this must refer to the Chinese names of dishes as it was not the case for the English menu.

The menu certainly cooks up a storm of biblical proportions covering almost 10 pages spanning the vast regions of China from Szechuan to Shanghai all the way down to Canton; however most dishes lean towards Szechuan. You are given a paper and pencil to write down the code for the dishes you desire. 

The food:

Rice and Meat Dumplings ($3.80 each), pork balls encase pieces of egg yolk and covered in glutinous rice. The size was generous and the balls were not too dense and flavoured well .The only megative was that the temperature was luke warm, otherwise it's something worth trying.

Special Tofu and Beef Mince Soup ($12.80) could have easily fed four people and was a classic homely style soup made well and nourishing.

Deep-Fried Diced Chicken with Chilli ($18.80) - Classic Szechuan dish of fried chicken but this time, the chicken was more like pop corn chicken which was better than the deep fried crunchy chicken that is more the traditional form. 

Pork Intestine with Chilli - If this is your thing, this is perhaps on par with fried pork intestines but only stir fried in a perfectly balanced rich chilli bean sauce. The intestines itself had perfect texture and when combined with the sauce made this the dish of the night.

The restaurant prides itself more on the food than service, not to say it was bad but your standard fare students with little hospitality experience but who are at least polite. What I found bizarre was the amount of chips on the crockery being such a new restaurant and the cutlery definately needed the old Chinese tea rinse. 

Overall, the food is good, reasonably priced and the restaurant is comfortable and ambient.
