More information on Flower Drum

Praise pours in from all quarters for this upscale restaurant just off Little Bourke Street, Chinatown's main drag. Take a slow elevator up to the restaurant, which has widely spaced tables (perfect for politicians and businesspeople to clinch their deals). Take note of the specials -- the chefs are extremely creative and utilize the best ingredients they find in the markets each day. The signature dish is Peking duck; buttered garfish is my favorite. King crab dumplings in soup is a great starter. One or 2 days in advance, you can order a banquet for two or more diners that includes more unusual dishes, such as abalone. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
