We came for a Saturday lunch and it was packed. We ordered a Hainan chicken rice and a Har Mee. The Hainan chicken rice was good, the chicken was very smooth.

However, the Har Mee was a disappointment. It was barely spicy, and unsatisfying. I had to ask for extra chilli (and I don't eat super chilli) for the soup base to taste like a Har Mee soup. The prawns were only lukewarm, which meant they were sitting there cold and they didn't even reheat them properly.

Maybe we should have gone as a big group and ordered their more expensive dishes. But I say somewhere else in Campsie serves better Hainan chicken rice and Har Mee than Temasek!

We came here for a late lunch at the deli and it was excellent! We had the ham, brie, salad on toasted turkish bread and it was very good for only $8.50! This is a hidden gem of a place for lunch in the Hunter Valley!

We ordered the kingfish and the lamb. They were both very good quality dishes, but the food lacked a bit of excitement for the price we paid, $62 for two courses. (You can get excellent 4 courses somewhere else in Sydney for $75). However, this is the Hunter Valley where food prices are inflated.

Came here for lunch the other day with friends and we all ordered different types of dishes. They have a variety of cuisines, Italian, Japanese, Thai, Australian (i.e. cafe food). I ordered yakisoba, it was very oily and salty, not something I would order again. A friend ordered pasta, and she found it too salty. Another friend ordered foccacia and thought it was good. So it seemed that sandwiches etc are your safest bet. This is not the place to get quality food. It's a place to go if you want somewhere quiet and not too expensive.
