Cheung Sing BBQ House Maroubra

695 Anzac Parade Maroubra NSW 2035

I have previously raved about this restaurant on eatability click here to read full review and it is fast becoming somewhat of a local institution in Maroubra. Frequently full, there is a sense of slapdash to both the art of ordering and service in this place. You take a seat. You order in a no-nonsense fashion. You wait. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes for your order. You eat. You pay cash. You leave. It's no frills dining at best, and that is the first thing I love about it. The second thing I love and the brainchild of this blog is the salt and pepper squid. It is a huge serving and well priced at $12.00. The squid is not battered, but lightly coated in a salty peppery flour mix. They also use a mix of baby octopus and calamari. The dish is garnished with chopped chilli, garlic, ginger and crispy fried shallots, so not only do you get the crispy light crunch as you bite into the calamari but your senses get whacked with the heady aromas and heat of the garlic, ginger and chilli.
