Enticing guests with tantalising aromas and a captivating demeanour, discover culinary delights held by Emerald Gardens, a Newcastle institution for Chinese cuisine. Feel drawn in by moody aesthetics with a suave vibe oozing from authentic Chinese decor and framed fabrics depicting characters of Chinese origin adorning exposed brick walls, while soft lighting adds a touch of romance. Slide into a booth for a little seclusion and open a bottle of High Paddock 2011 Shiraz by Scott Mc William from the Hunter Valley with appetisers like the satay chicken skewers with marinated chicken tenderloin served with a peanut satay sauce. For the main affair, opt for the braised pork with ginger, shallots and snow peas or perhaps the tempura King prawns with honey, lemon and sweet and sour sauce.
