==== Food court ====

The (covered) food court on the ground floor is a proper food court, with stalls arranged around the edges, and chairs and tables in the middle. You can have Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Indian, you name it. Select your favourite dishes from as many stalls as you like, and collect them when your number comes up.

Specific recommendations: there are two dim sum places, and the one that's called "Dim Sum House" has a better selection than the other. (Although their "Shanghai style" pork dumplings are not in fact soup dumplings; my quest continues. --[[Kake]])

==== Highlights ====

* The food court, of course!

Large South-East Asian mall and community centre in North London, reasonably close to Colindale Station.

Oriental City is due for closure and redevelopment, but will remain open until May 2008. The search is currently (July 2007) on for temporary premises to house the community while redevelopment takes place.

Highlights:

  • The food court! Japanese, Chinese (including a dim sum house), Thai, Indian, you name it. Select your favourite dishes from as many stalls as you like, and collect them when your number comes up.
  • Other food places, including a cafe that does bubble tea, and a sushi bar.
  • The Japanese crockery shop.
  • The Japanese supermarket — all kinds of interesting vegetables, sushi-grade fish, meats, noodles, rice, spices, oils, vinegars, exciting things in packets.
  • The durian shop. Located outside the main building, for reasons that will be obvious to anyone who's ever come within smelling distance of durian.
