This weeks foray into Manchester’s Chinatown took Eej and myself to this inviting restaurant, and after the long upward slog that was the staircase we were seated quickly.
The restaurant had a small number of visitors this evening, and it was apparent the table adjacent housed what must have been a "comedy family from London". Think TittyBangBang and Duck’n’Chips. I digress.
Eej and I quickly settled for the combination dum sum for two, which we both enjoyed immensly. New to me were the onion cakes, which were very tasty, with beef dumplings, sesame prawn toast, spring rolls, deep-fried prawns in filo pastry and seaweed. The usual sweet’n’sour and worcester sauce dips were present.
Delving into mains I went for the bo kung spicy chicken with egg fried rice, and some pan-fried noodles. Eej had sweet’n’sour chicken with ginger, also with egg fried rice. This time, for a nice change, my dish was tastier, maybe a little too many cashew nuts, but the thinly sliced red chillis set the chicken and its accompanying sauce off beautifully. Eej’s chicken had some rather phat wedges of ginger in it, avoided by myself when offered. And the pan fried noodles? Why do I do that? A plate of dishevelled shredded wheats. Avoid.
All in all a pleasent experience (after the comedy family had left), a little on the expensive side though, £51 which included three Calsbergs, a pint of diet Coke and a JD chaser.
