Just for Chinese New Year, there is a Chinese meal that costs $888 for two at Jamie's Italian which is served until the 13th of Feb!!

All these dishes are from Jamie's recipe so you can try them here without having to cook it yourself.

I was really impressed with the Chinese inspired dishes such as the fish, rice, chicken wings and the side of cabbage.

The only thing that was missing for that complete Chinese experience were chopsticks.

Here was what we had:
+++
Roasted sweet potato and quinoa salad:
 1 讚好

This was a nice fibre rich salad containing mushy sweet potato, quinoa and my favourite buffalo cheese.
+++
Crispy spinach and ricotta ravioli:

These were crispy pieces of ravioli filled with spinach.
+++
Honey and ginger chicken wings:
 1 讚好

I have never liked Chinese style chicken wings because they are too oily and sweet but this was perfect because the wings have been grilled and the honey was not cloyingly sweet.
+++
Crispy duck and squash salad:

The salad was well balanced with lots of greens complimented by the crispy duck.
+++
Rice:

I am not sure how the locals will react to this but it tasted like the rice I had for school dinners so I loved it.
+++
Oven baked fish of the day:

Although the menu says it is oven baked, it looks like Chinese steamed fish and the fish texture was silky and soft.
+++
Seasonal greens:

Basically it was braised sliced cabbage slices with a chili and garlic kick.
+++
For drinks I had the lychee lemonade which was an interesting pairing because the sweet and fragrant lychee went well with the refreshing lemon.

+++
Pineapple and pomegranite yoghurt:

The texture of the yoghurt was different because it was a bit like chalky sorbet but you could taste the yoghurt paired with tart pineapple and sweet pomegranite.
+++
Black rice pudding:

The rice pudding wasn't sticky and it was quite tart because of the passionfruit and the mango wasn't strong which worked for me because I don't eat mango.
