After buying some Chinese pastries from Caffé Chino in Birmingham China Town, we continued looking for the Chinese restaurant which was recommended by TripAdvisor.
We found the restaurant easily. It was within walking distance from China Town.
The interior of the restaurant was rather small but homely and comfortable.
We were lucky to arrive early at the restaurant because it was very packed subsequently. It took us quite some time to decide what to have since they had an extensive menu. Our orders arrived rather fast. We started our dinner with a famous Chinese cold dish, Sichuan spicy sliced chicken (口水鸡). Priced at £5.50, this dish was exceptionally good, thick succulent slices of white chopped chicken were served cold in spicy dark red oil. The serving was generous, and it was definitely a good appetiser to start with!
For our mains, we had a minced pork with vermicelli (蚂蚁上树) for £6.50. The dish was served piping hot, and the serving was rather big. Thin silky vermicelli was cooked with minced pork with chili bean sauce. It was moderately spicy, very fragrant and delicious. Something worth trying out if you like Sichuan cuisine.
Our chili and garlic aubergine casserole (鱼香茄子煲) was served rather late due to a mistaken order. But it was worth the wait. Priced at £6.50, the aubergine strips were soaked in the spicy garlic sauce and very flavourful when eaten with white rice. Do check this dish out if you happen to visit this restaurant!
Overall it was a very scrumptious and filling meal. Service was rather moderate but food was very authentic and delicious. We would recommend this Chinese restaurant to any persons residing in or visiting Birmingham.
