Randomness Guide to London Menu

Chinese restaurant/takeaway on Tower Bridge Road. They also do delivery, and you can order online from Just-Eat or from Hungry House.

Prior to Autumn 2008, it was known as Sanh Hing, SE1 4TP, and despite the change of name the menu seems to be pretty much exactly the same.

Kake and doop tried the delivery option on a Friday evening in November 2008. We ordered from Hungry House with no problems. Food arrived hot and on time.

Grilled peking dumplings (£3.50) were fine, with thick, chewy wrappers and decently-seasoned filling; they were a little haphazardly fried, though not in a way that really made much difference (the browned part is supposed to be on the bottom of the dumpling, whereas here they seemed to have just browned a random surface). Kake would happily order them again.

Spare ribs peking style (£4.50) were a bit rubbish; the meat was very dry and overcooked, and there seemed to be some attempt at a batter coating which had completely failed to stick to the ribs. Wouldn't order these again.

Gluten mock "chicken" with mushrooms (£4.80) and mock "duck" with black bean and chilli (£4.80) were both fine - a definite improvement on the rather rubbish mock "pork" we had from the previous incarnation of this place a year and a half ago. Most of the mushrooms in the chicken dish were just plain old button mushrooms, but there were one or two more interesting ones as well. The chilli in the duck dish was not very apparent.

Steamed rice in lotus leaf (£5) was OK but a little disappointing; they'd just used normal rice rather than glutinous sticky rice, but it was fine apart from that.

Kake's verdict: Will order from here again if I fancy mock meat and/or I don't feel justified in dragging Dream Taste's driver all the way to SE16.
