Chinese/Thai/Malaysian takeaway place near the top of Old Kent Road.
Kake and bob ordered a takeaway from here on a Wednesday night in December (New Year's Eve) through Hungry House.
Salt and pepper spare ribs (£5) were okay with lots of chopped vegetables and red chillies. They cut them into triangular pieces which made it hard to eat the meat. Prawn dumplings (£5.50) were okay, and we got more than we expected. We think the vegetable dumplings (£5.50) didn't turn up and we got curried potato samosas instead, which were fine. The Malaysian chicken satay (£4.70) had some heat to them and were actually quite good, though the crispy shredded beef (£6) was just adequate. The sweet and sour pork balls (£4.75) were actually very good, not too large and had a nice crispy batter (the sweet and sour sauce wasn't good though). Noodles with bean sprouts (£4) were fine.
We also ordered some extra homemade chilli oil, which was terribly burnt. We were supposed to get a free bottle of wine but this didn't materialise, so we think the order was slightly confused.
Verdict: In bob's opinion, it was an adequate meal but nothing special. The confusion with our order didn't help. The Malaysian curries may be worth a go. There are certainly better Chinese restaurants to order from.
