We went to a fab Chinese last night in China Town. Having not eaten there for a while we went on a walk about to select a place. I looked for the fullest and the one with the most Chinese in.
The one we selected was full of Chinese.
It served a Chinese hot pot which I have not seen before. The centre of the table heats up and a metal dish is put in the middle and you add your own food. It looked great and different. It was £18.00 for 2 people and you could add as much as you liked of a menu.
We will defo go back and try it . I just watched last night so I did not look like a complete pleb at not knowing what to do so ordered off the menu.
There were meals I had not seen before. I had Dim Sum to start and salt and pepper king prawns for main. My better half had spicy beef. and then we ordered rice and noodles......way too much...they are massive portions and watching around me they are meant for sharing.
The food was really good
If you like a more traditional feel then this was it...if you are looking for more of an English style Chinese then one of the other restaurants may be better. It was called red n hot on Hurst Street.
We were in there at around 6.30 and as we were leaving at just after 8 there was a queue, don't know if you can book
I will for sure be going back and if any one else goes I would like to know what you think of it

We look forward to a report - perhaps not too detailed...

just a side note that this is not a candle lit restaurant scenario...it is a good eating place though

sorry for detail, I think I have been reading too many trip advisor posts

No, no, not you - I was worried that basil might go into too much detail - if she does turn out to be a goer...
I will be the last person to criticise you for over-posting.

Dhooo.
Could 'goer' be classed as a Bloomism?

We did visit red n hot and selected chilli chicken a dish where the chicken was outnumbered 10:1 by small fried whole chillies and the garlic in the black bean chicken may well have been smelled anyone within a mile radius. The fried noodles with bean sprouts and the egg fried rice were just fine. All in all not one of our best choice of eateries......

Scored...... in extra time.......
Was it from play - or from a dead-ball situation?
