I was dreading reviewing this
place. I had been there once before
and can honestly say that it was the
worst Chinese food I had ever had.
On that occasion I only ordered
from their Chinese menu...mostly
because I didn't know there were two
others as well, an Indonesian
and Indian one. I don't remember
exactly what I had but duck was
involved and was the worst part.
Most of the food ended up being
binned.
You can imagine how surprised I
was when on the day of the review I
was talking to a friend and fellow
British Expat only to find that he
had been there several times and
really liked it, especially for its
value. The portions here are massive
and relatively cheap.
For the review I order from their
Main menu, the Chinese one and from
the Indonesian menu. I made sure to
include spring rolls as I had read
in another review that they were not
worthy so figured I wouldn't be too
bad off I the rest of the food met
the standards of my previous visit.
Note: What I ordered for 2 ended
up being enough for 6!
I was amazed!, Stunned! Gob
Smacked! Not only was this food
edible but most of it was quite good
and some of it excellent!
The spring rolls were the size of
burritos and just as packed. They
rocked! The coconut, mushroom and
chicken soup was excellent. The rest
made up of sweet and sour this, lamb
that and coconut whatever also did
Asian Aroma proud. Beware of the
chilly icons in the menu though,
they mean business.
To cut to the chase, I will be
going back and this time on my own
dime, and not just because its at
the end of my street!
If you're in doubt as to what to order,
ask!. The friendly staff usually
speak some English are good are
carefully directing your order.
Shame they don't have a web site
and delivery service!
