Chop chip in Liverpool

Hello!

We're back on the road. :) Tonight we're playing in Liverpool, so we entered our usual search criteria into Google. The closest takeaway seemed to be Chop Chop. We drove straight past it and missed the tiny little shop. But having got out of the car we found the smallest takeaway. I stood there looking at the menu on the wall, it didn't look very familiar, we had navigated ourselves to a Korean takeaway. I managed to figure out what was closest to special fried rice. This ended up being plain rice with mixed salad and beef on the top with a separate chili sauce. 

The result? It was really really lovely. A wonderful refreshing bowl of rice with very tasty beef. The chili sauce was quite strong and added a nice kick to the rice.

My score? 9/10

Millennium Wok in Warwick

Hello!

We're in Warwick for the folk club this evening. We tried all three of our usual takeaways and all three were shut. So we decided to head on down to Tesco and make sandwiches. Low and behold there was a fourth Chinese takeaway and it was open. Hurrah!!

We do like to grab a takeaway. With Jonny's allergies it can be difficult on the road, so this is the best way forward - rice. It's quite surprising how few pubs do rice, it's all chips and tomatoes, neither of which are good. So it is rather a little ritual of finding a Chinese takeaway. You've probably gathered this by now from this blog. So I sit waiting and typing away on my phone wondering what we're going to grade the takeaway. What will it be today? Will this be our next takeaway of choice next time we're here?

The conclusion? Perfectly serviceable with a score of 6/10. We were so happy it was open and was very nice.

Today we played for an excellent dance in Coventry. Zesty Playford. We had a great time at the dance and stopped off on our way home in Kettering. 

We were hungry....8/10

Jun Ming Xuan in Colindale

Hello!

Today we're in London. Colindale near Edgeware. We left home quite early to make sure we didn't have any problems on the M25. So of course we got to the venue really early. This meant we could find a very nice Chinese takeaway. We drove past a restaurant on the way in, so we headed back to it. As a restaurant it had some parking out the front and the food was put carefully into the little plastic tubs instead of rammed and tamped down. The usual special fried rice was ordered. The sweet and sour sauce was the perfect mix of tasty and not too runny. It was the perfect compliment to the rice, which had gorgeous prawns, succulent peas and a light garnishing of spring onion. I wasn't especially hungry, but I polished the lot off, it was that nice. We settled on a very good 9/10. I would have been tempted by a 10/10, but Jonny wasn't quite as effusive. This is a restaurant we'll definitely keep the postcode for! As a bonus there was a tesco express close by, so we could have a pudding of yoghurt. Yum.

And now, off to the gig.

East Ocean Peking & Cantonese in Kirkham

Hello!

We're on day five of a little five day tour and are now up in Kirkham near Preston. It rained all day and has been thoroughly miserable. After yesterday's glorious weather it was very wet and damp. We had aimed for a different takeaway just down the road, but it was due for some reason. In this place the special fried rice dishes were all with a sauce, so today's dish of choice is Young chow fried rice, one without soya, two forks and a receipt.

Having eaten too much bad on the road food at lunch and being a bit thirsty we were both not expecting the same wondrous meal as yesterday....

The result?

The meal itself was very nice. Good sauce, forks that were nice and robust (for scooping up rice anyway). It did the job and filled us up very nicely. So the score is a nice enough 8/10.
