Yes yes yes YES. After a long journey and a rather severe hangover, all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and eat Chinese food in by hotel room. Luck would have it that just round the corner was one of the best Cantonese restaurants in the city - mother may I?! Yes I may!
So I ordered pretty much as much as I could. Starting with the prawn dumplings and Sui mi - the prawn dumpling were made to perfection fluffy on the outside and a large prawn in the middle. The Sui mi too were very meaty and exactly what I'd want and expect.
Next the meat spring rolls - really great size and absolutely packed with rich meaty goodness. One of my favourite dishes by far.
Then a quarter duck with all the trimmings. The quarter duck was a large portion and was perfectly crispy with beautifully textured meat once you broke through the skin. Delicious.
Lastly a special chow mien with a side of curry sauce (I love my curry sauce). The chow mien was a drastic ratio meat and veg to noodles - the prawns in particular were huge. Not overly greasy and there was no lack of sauce either. The curry save for me was a tad on the coconut side but this was Cantonese curry not Chinese so it worked.
For all this plus a sweet and sour chicken and a steak in Cantonese sauce it came to £50. Which is an absolute bargain if you ask me - all the portions were large and of a fantastic quality and if I ever head to the area again I would definitely return for a sit down meal.
A true must if in the area. read more
