Review:
I went there with a group of friends and we had the set meal A at £17.50 per head. There was a set meal B at £22.50 per head and an a la carte that includes thai and malaysian dishes.

The set meal A offers a starter of “dim sum” followed by 5 other dishes including a fried rice.

To cut the story short, this is a place for westernised oriental food.The starter consisted of ribs coated with a yogurty sauce – sharp and sour, the spring rolls were filled with a cheesy curd, the deep fried prawn and the sea weed (cabbage) were ok.

The main course of 4 dishes were, beef, prawn, duck and pork. 2 taste of sweet (not sour) and the other two savory.Nearly everything came with brocolli florets and carrots – which made it look very pretty. We also added a portion of crispy duck which was ok.

Althought the place was pretty full, this is the sort of place that ethnic chinese are unlikely to eat in as there were too much sugar and MSG in the cooking.

We had 2 bottles of sparking chardonny brut at £16 each. It was drinkable and taste like cheap supermarket champagne.

The portions are generous and thats about the only good thing.

There is a car park outside which can take 20 cars.
