What new chinese meal should I try tonight?

What's your fave chinese meal? Looking for inspiration. :)

[Alan Medic]

I don't know but while you're waiting for an answer you should play The Song Remains the Same thread. It will stop you worrying about it.

Silk Road homestyle aubergine.

[yeknomyeknom]

Thanks Mustard.

[Mustard]

Their dumplings and homestyle cabbage is also delicious.

[yeknomyeknom]

Anyone got a menu for Silk Road?

[DaveR]

Belly pork with preserved vegetables in hotpot at Hong Kong City on New Cross Road and the aforementioned home style cabbage at Silk Road.

Spare ribs

I often don't like Chinese food (too sweet, too oily, but I think that's because it's often done badly). I did, however, have an incredible meal at Bar Shu recently (a friend who spent a long time in China said it was her favourite, I can see why). The fish fragrant aubergines, potato slivers with chilli's and gong bao prawns were all revelatory. If they or anyone else as good did deliveries I'd be in big trouble.

Not tried Silk Road, but keep hearing good things.

Oh and apparently Fuchsia Dunlop's recipe books are very good for chinese food.

[KidKruger]

Wot Mustard said. Plus their middle plate chicken.

[aquarius moon]

Mushroom curry with chips from Moon Lam Hong, Cheltenham Rd.

Are there any 'new' Chinese meals?

[Henry_17]

I like the Kung Poa fish from Uncle Wrinkle in New Cross, although it is some time since I've been.

[edcam]

Definitely Silk Road. Try the pork with fungus. Sounds awful, tastes amazing.

[KrackersMaracas]

Question - do Silk Road do take away or delivery? A lot of people have been saying it's hard to get a table after their recent award from the observer (best cheap eat 2014), and I was unsure if a cheeky delivery might be an alternative!!

[Mustard]

They definitely do take-away.

[SLad]

They do take away, collection only, but (as far as I've heard them say to people who ask for a take away menu) you need to know the menu as they don't run as a take away.

The food is, to a dish, spectacular. None of this msg, sugar filled Anglo Chinese food and all beautifully spiced xingian blow your head off cuisine.

Cumin spiced lamb with hand pulled noodles and middle plate chicken are amazing. The cucumber, three sprout salad and aubergine all travel very well.

Enjoy!

[KrackersMaracas]

Ah thank you both!!! My tummy is rumbling just reading about the food...can't wait to try it.

[Jeremy]

If you need delivery rather than takeaway... try the twice-cooked pork from Wulli Wulli.

[Alan Medic]

'Tonight' was two days ago Jeremy. S/he must be very hungry if s/he hasn't eaten since then.

[Jeremy]

And this person never wants to eat again? They really will be hungry then!!
