Sichuan hot boiled fish when done right.

The heat is just right for us. Generally order this a couple of times a month.

That soup travels well as a take out dish?  How long from when they make it to when it's delivered to your house?

My favourite takeaway would be a Chilli Chicken and Fried Rice, specifically from a takeaway shop in the Ashfield Mall (I lived across the road). The place is no longer there unfortunately (replaced by another Chinese takeaway).

You may ask, with so many options available, why is some cheap food court Chinese takeaway meal my favourite? Partly nostalgia, as I used to get that some times after school. And whenever my grandmother was over, she'd buy it for me as she knew how much I liked it. The shop owner's mother used to work there and she got to know me so well, whenever she'd see me coming, she'd automatically start getting the meal ready for me (with a few spring rolls thrown in for free). All throughout high school I'd stop by at least once a week, and even after i moved away from the area, I'd still stop in to grab my usual dish.

Unfortunately, I'd go there fewer and fewer times, until I stopped going about 6 years ago. I miss it, not just because it was something from my childhood, but it also tasted really good.

Full Mud Crab local $30 a Kilo. Has been like that for a year at least. Blunder Road Fish market. 

On my way - though the fact I can't actually go in to to your country just now, let alone the cost of the flight means I'll have to just go with Maine lobster for now....

It's about 2 miles away. We typically go pick it up versus waiting for delivery. Still quite hot when we serve.
