Having been to East Ocean previously it was important that we took others back to enjoy the fantasmic new phenomenon we had discovered and called "Amazing Rice" and convince them that we weren't overplaying it's sensationalisation. And MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. East Ocean was hidden away behind a maze of outdoor eating options the night we attempted to go back - which nearly distracted us from our target. We persisted to fight through the crowds and let the waiter know we were on a tight time frame - we had theatre tickets.
The last time we ventured for our East Ocean delights our menu choices revolved too much around the prawn. We ventured out a little this time - but didn't neglect out friend the prawn.

Amazing Rice - or as they call it East Ocean Fried Rice with Chopped Seafood and Salmon Roe
Crispy skin chicken with vinaigrette
Mushrooms & green vegetables with oyster sauce.
Salt & Pepper Pork Spare Ribs
Prawn Dumplings
Every dish was as good as each other but the "Amazing Rice" lived up to its' name. The delight of it "popping" in your mouth each time you bite down on the Salmon Roe is as exciting for an adult as Magic Gum is to a kid. OK as exciting as Magic Gum still is to me.
*Apologies to Des and the Jay for my tardiness in posting this review. It had nothing to do with my enjoyment levels of the evening or the food and everything to do with new computers/old computers/travel without computers/excessive laziness.
**We also saw "Wicked" again the same night we went to East Ocean so some Oz-ian language may have made it into this post.
