Located in the heart of Carlingford Court is a reputable Chinese restaurant by the name of "Hou Hou"; in fobby English translation - Excellent.
Why does this place stand out amongst the zillions of Chinese restaurants in Sydney you ask?
Two words:
VERMICELLI CRAB (actually it's glass noodles but vermicelli sounds a lot fancier) :)
So when you go to a Chinese restaurant, you can choose a crab and have it cooked any way - the three main ways to cook a crab would be: crab with shallots and XO, crab with tamarind (more Vietnamese than Chinese), salt and pepper crab and of course, Vermicelli crab (basically marinated crab with vermicelli noodles).
CRAB is my all time, ultimate, favourite food in the whole entire world - there is no way I would miss the opportunity of eating crabs for ANYTHING! I dream, i literally salivate by the thought of sucking the crab claws (yes, sad!). Therefore, I would allow myself to have the knowledge and authority to recommend this place and it's famous vermicelli crab! GO TRY IT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! Allergies? Pffft for this? I'd rather suffer and have a lumpy face for a week! :)
Of course there are other great dishes the restaurant has to offer - I personally LOVE the chicken feet soup, the braised chinese mushrooms with bok choy and also the pork spare ribs!
Here are some photos from my recent visit:

Peking Duck - the dough was too thick
