Seng Hing Gourmet - Caulfield East

3.5<br/ <br/ Gee whiz, this place has been around for as long as I can recall back to my uni days dating well over a decade ago! <br/ <br/ Up until recently, I haven’t been back since graduating and moving away from Caulfield. Well, nothing really much has changed inside out albeit a little worn and tattered now, and it was nice seeing the same two sisters still running it.<br/ <br/ We arrived just before the lunch rush and no sooner after we placed our orders, people started continuously pouring in. I suppose it goes to show how popular it remains even after all these years.<br/ <br/ With quite an extensive menu, making a decision was sure no easy feat. As we scrolled through the 70 odd options of noodles and rice dishes (no exaggeration here), I took a gamble with the Beef With Black Pepper Stir Fried Spaghetti while my partner ended up zeroing in on the Duck With Scrambled Egg On Rice.<br/ <br/ All we wanted that day was something simple yet satisfying without being too heavy and that was exactly how both our mains turned out.<br/ <br/ As enjoyable as the above two meals were, our Mixed Appetisers was rather forgettable a tired and dull ”plethora” of deep fried seafood that didn’t taste too fresh.<br/ <br/ Anticipating the same out of the Oyster Omelette that came after, it wasn’t the case much to our relief! Light and fluffy with a reasonable amount of oysters incorporated, it was one decent omelette.<br/ <br/ I truly take my hat off to the elderly crew who ran a smooth operation despite a full house, bearing in mind they also have a mezzanine dining area which they physically carry food up to!<br/ <br/ Look, ain’t no fancy venue or food to be found here, but it has survived the test of time, proving to be a reliable place for some good feed with prices that won’t break anyone’s budget.

Food is definitely worth the price, as for the staffs, they’re old people so it can be a little bit overwhelming for them sometimes, however will definitely try their best to serve. Overall one of the better tasting food near uni

Pretty good n cheap duck and scrambled egg on rice!! although the staff and ambience have a lot room for improvements, and they also need to work on their marketing strategies

Probably my favourite restaurant in all of Melbourne, which is saying something. have been coming here for years now, the staff are awesome, make us feel like we're part of a family. The restaurant is quaint, cute and cosy, especially on a rainy and dreary Melbourne day. The food is the real star though, in particular the deep fried spicy meat (choice of pork, calamari or chicken) on rice, its seriously delicious, and is comparable to a similar dish I've tried at Spice Temple in crown, though several times cheaper. I'll never let more than a few months go by before eating here, and suggest it to everyone.

This is my go to place for many many years. Good pork chops and beef brisket. Best value for money. Another highlight is their homemade chili sauce.
