The formula here is beautifully simple: bring your own booze, take a seat at one of the plain wooden benches, eat your fill of tasty, ludicrously inexpensive pan-Asian fast food and go. All perfectly straightforward – unless, that is, you're feeling indecisive, as the menu offers a bewildering array of

more than 100 different dishes. Crispy won ton (dumplings) were deliciously more-ish, while red chicken curry was light and flavoursome, with unusually tender meat. A ‘chef's favourite' special of mee hoon – stir-fried vermicelli with beancurd, king prawns, fishcake and beansprouts – was also pleasant enough, if a little salty. But all paled into insignificance beside the glorious grilled meat dumplings, served with red vinegar. Plump, seasoned to perfection and unbelievably succulent, they were an absolute steal at £3.50 for four.
