Nearly a decade ago, Dustin Osuch, senior project manager at F&B Capital Projects, was tasked with the massive undertaking of revitalising The Star in Gold Coast. During the last eight years, Osuch’s team transformed Kiyome and Cucina Vivo. They also opened the Garden Kitchen and Bar, Mei Wei, Harvest Buffet and Nineteen at The Star. The latest chapter of the transformation was to revitalise the Imperial at The Star—a Chinese restaurant that brought flavours from various regions in China to the shores of Australia. With incredible head chef, Chef Song, and B+S Commercial Kitchens on his team, Osuch successfully transformed Imperial at The Star into Uncle Su at The Star.
Uncle Su was the amalgamation of Osuch and Chef Song’s desire to expand the dining area to seat twice as many guests without expanding the kitchen, while still serving their customers a higher standard of food.
In order to keep up with the new demands of the restaurant without altering the kitchen space, Uncle Su required more powerful wok burners. B+S Commercial Kitchens worked tirelessly to redesign their current technology and create something special for Uncle Su. The new wok burners designed for the project are more powerful than ever and feature the B+S Commercial Kitchen’s exclusive hot brick setting—designed to protect chefs. In addition, the burner’s power output ensures that woks can reach a much higher temperature. This not only increases the speed of production in the kitchen—decreasing cooking times by half—but increases the quality of food, as it allows for the development of flavours exclusive to Chinese cuisine.
Uncle Su’s kitchen now features two double-hole Hi Pac wok burners with a prep table and one single-hole Hi Pac wok burner. That gives Uncle Su a total of five wok burners that can be used at once, allowing them to double their capacity.
The Flower Drum is the ultimate Melbourne institution for excellent Cantonese cuisine. Having opened its doors in 1975, it is almost as old as us. But our similarities don’t end there. Just as we pride ourselves on only using the best quality steel and parts and insist on finishing our products by hand, The Flower Drum similarly only use the best local seasonal ingredients and greet their clients with the highest customer service. We both have established a reputation for excellence and no compromise.
The Flower Drum is not only renowned within our local Melbourne community but also by many international guests who have had the pleasure of enjoying The Flower Drum’s excellent culinary talents. The Flower Drum is by far the most recognised Cantonese restaurant in Australia and has won many awards over the years.
When The Flower Drum moved to their current premises back in the 1980s, Gilbert Lau approached us to help them fit out their kitchen to meet the demands of an ever-growing clientele. A number of decades later, it was time for a kitchen refresh so the old B+S was moved out to make way for the new B+S. We worked together with their Head Chef and owner, Anthony Liu to understand the requirements of their kitchen and of the kitchen staff. They needed greater flexibility to assist with the workflow of their kitchen and to ensure a more efficient & timely output of their meals. Given the layout of The Flower Drum kitchen, we needed to design our units to their specific kitchen configuration and measurements without compromising on the aesthetics or functionality of the products. With the new customised woks and HiPacs, The Flower Drum was again equipped with the ultimate in kitchen equipment and ready to tackle the next few decades of servicing the hungry crowds of Melbourne.
The best, choose to work with the best, in order to deliver the best. There simply is no compromise. We have celebrated many a milestone together and look forward to continuing this partnership in the future.
Established in 1965, The Pancake Parlour is a much loved Aussie favourite. With a career spanning almost as long as ours, they’ve seen the hospitality landscape change and grow and have successfully evolved along with it.
They now have 11 stores and continue to offer their delicious pancakes to the crowds of Melbourne.
Whether you’re after something savoury or something sweet, The Pancake Parlour has developed their menu over the years to address both. From family meals to after-theatre treats, they cater to every craving. I mean who doesn’t remember visiting The Pancake parlour as a child for their short stack with maple syrup and whipped butter right!
When the team at The Pancake Parlour approached us about their kitchen needs, we were humbled that we could help improve one of our family favourites. The Pancake Parlour had their own version of a grill plate in mind to meet with their needs in the kitchen. We worked with them to fine-tune the details and then developed the product for them. This included the team from The Pancake Parlour coming out to our workshop and testing the unit to ensure their complete satisfaction before we had it certified to Australian Standards. The grill plates were specifically designed to provide even heat across the whole surface area of the plate which was a requirement in order for their pancake to be cooked consistently.
The Pancake Parlour chose us to help them design and develop their custom product given our long history and years of experience along with our innovative approach to product design. Simply put, they trusted us to deliver the quality and expertise that they needed.
