Dear Red Panda Owner,

The Red Panda I visited was the one in Antrim, next the Junction One.



It offered more than I expected actually.

It has an English menu with Chinese character at the side.

I must say the chinese male waiter has very good attitude.

He even can make recommendations on what you prefer to eat.



Believe it or not, this tasty King Prawn with butter garlic sauce only cost 1 pound with main meal ordered.



This chilly pork also only cost 1 pound with main meal ordered.



For the main meal, I ordered the asparagus wrapped by beef, for me, the pepper was too much.



The 'hor fun' or 'flat noodle' was nice, the beef was very tender. I didn't even bother to order rice.



The deep fried ice-cream was nice. White cream on top, with crispy covering and coconut power taste. And they certainly used high quality ice-cream in it.



I also ordered a pint of Stella, the total cost was about 33 pounds.

Dear Water Margin Owner,

I again visited Water Margin in Belfast last week.

I noticed that the menu has already changed and they actually added the carrots into the menu now. It's not temporarily anymore.

Good.

I did not order the 'Cheung Fun' this time as I thought the skin was too thick for me.



The 'black bean pork' or 'pai guat' was good, big portion and tasty, although I always prefer more garlic in in.

The 'har gaw' was generous with the prawns, and they provided 4 pieces whereas other restaurants only provide 3 normally. A plus point for this.

The 'wor tek' or 'fried dumpling' was not too bad, I like the 'vege' taste in it.

Lastly it was the rice, which was new in the menu. I ordered the 'preserved meat' rice. They came with pork, chicken feet. It was ok only.

Dear Candy Lovers,

Not a lot of us who do not like sweets or candies.

Chocolates, sweeties, you name them.

Cadburys, Thorntons, Quality Street.



But today I am going to discuss a different type of candy.

For me, a good candy must be:

1. Chewy
2. Of various flavor
3. Creamy
4. Sweet
5. Not sticky

It's called: Meiji.



It is, I believe Japanese, and not widely available in Europe, but you still can find it with difficulty.



I can tell you, it is addictive.



One tube is not enough.



You will just keep eating and chewing without knowing it's finishing.



Speaking of it, I want to eat it now!

Dear Belfast Dim Sum Cravers / Searchers,

Tell me, how many Chinese Restaurants in Belfast that you know offer Dim Sum?

I meant proper Dim Sum, not just a few 'Har Gaw' or 'Siew Mai'.

Most people will say, well there is only one.

Lee Garden.



Yes it has a reasonable menu.
Pretty cosy place with 2 floors.
Very crowded on Saturdays or Sundays.
The desserts are not very good choice.



But this one is less known, further away:

Water Margin Restaurant, Belfast.





I will tell you about it.

The presentation is good.
The variety is not bad.
Delicious.
The carrots are must try!
I will keep a secret here on what it is. But I can tell you they are not normal carrots in anyhow.



It looks like a church outside.





And as always, Chinese Food is cheap. Less than 10 pounds and you eat till you can't eat anymore.
