The Scene: Ring in a bold new age of Chinese cuisine with the arrival of Wild Ginger Restaurant. Conveniently located a level below the Cinemark Theatre at Tinseltown, Wild Ginger is the perfect destination for lunch or dinner before catching a movie. Tantalizing fusion cuisine mixes local flavours with those of the Far East. Fun dishes to try include Kung Pao Power, Sticky Ribs, Mayo Mayo, and Spring Blossom Rolls. Tables are equipped with Korean-style barbeque grills, for a sizzling feast of meat or seafood. Lunchtime specials are a steal at $6.99 including a complimentary cold beverage.

A small wine list featuring Australian wines is outdone only by an impressively researched selection of teas. Fragrant flower and fruit-infused teas are imported from the Fujian province, tea capital of China. The lychee ball tea, a flowering part of the lychee plant, slowly blossoms and releases sweet lychee flavour as the tea brews.

Ample underground parking is validated for customers. Open seven days a week.
