I think the Mainland Chinese actually outnumber the locals in some parts of Melbourne. Announcements at the Melbourne airport, and in major department stores like Myers and David Jones, are done in English … and Mandarin!
He’s right about there being no good Cantonese in Sydney - even the much-heralded Golden Century falls short. I, for one, will not be seeking out Cantonese food in Sydney or Melbourne (I’d rather have a meat pie.
). But I guess the restaurateurs know where the money is coming from.
