The already delicious catering offerings at St George Leagues Club just got a huge boost, with the opening of a new Chinese restaurant on the first floor.
Teams of builders have worked hard to complete the landmark new Crown Dragon Restaurant, which veteran restaurateur Ricky Char promises will cater the very best “true blue Chinese” offerings.
With 30 years in hospitality and several leading club restaurants behind him, Ricky knows how to entice new diners as well as the all important task of keeping his regulars happy.
To this end, visitors to the club’s sprawling new restaurant are able to choose from a wide and varied yum cha or á la carte lunch menu, and a special á la carte menu at dinner.
Crown Dragon is a huge undertaking, with seating for 250. It is open seven days and nights and offers a high level of service. Ricky promised that the combination of amazing food “cooked with love” and his highly trained, welcoming staff would provide a new level of dining experience for Leagues Club members and guests – be they looking for a special event dinner or a quick yum cha feast.
“Our team wants to turn this new dragon into the place of choice for Chinese cuisine lovers in this area,” he says.
And while there are all the favourites, such as sweet and sour pork or popular yum cha delights like dim sims and spring rolls, Ricky’s extended menu of swimmingly fresh seafood and traditional Chinese offerings will draw both the gourmet and the adventurous.
His specials menu include an enticing white bait and king prawns in chilli salt as well as the classic two course Peking duck including delicious pancakes and a rich broth.
Ricky has been running Chinese restaurants for more than 30 years and his Tingha Palace chain now spreads as far as Lithgow Blacktown Workers Club in the West, south to Unanderra and north to Tweed Heads.
“Crown Dragon is going to be my first new restaurant in 30 years in Sydney’s south, after I started my first one in the 1970s at Miranda RSL,” he says.
“I am looking forward to showing everyone in the area just how good Chinese food can be.”
