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.

Wing Wah in Chester

Hello!

We've been on the road for a few years, but new phones lost passwords have meant I've not kept the blog up! Today sees me starting it up again. So for new readers of this blog I'll explain what it's all about. We're a pair of folkies who spend a lot of time on the road. My other half  has a lot of allergies and intolerances. Tomatoes, wheat, potatoes, soya, lentils just to start with. We've found that Chinese takeaway is safe to eat, as long as we ask for no soya sauce. It can be hit and miss, but at least there are no tomatoes, potatoes or wheat. So here I am sat waiting in the takeaway typing away on my smart phone ready to sample the delights of rice in a tub. Well it be nice? Will we end up with soya and the need for antacids later? Will I get the receipt? Will the fork be too bendy and snap? I've ordered our usual meal, two special fried rice (one with no soy sauce) and a receipt. Even after nearly four years, it's still the same usual!

The result?

Maybe we were very hungry, maybe sitting at a proper table with knives and forks or maybe the this was the perfect takeaway. We both instantly agree, 10 out of 10. On top of the perfectly fried rice was an eggy omelette style addition with some pork mixed in. The sweet and sour sauce was the perfect gloopiness and a lovely rich taste. All in all absolutely delicious!

A great way to start the Rice on the Road blog again.

Orient in Keighley

Hello!

We're on the road again! Well we're on the road a lot, but now we're starting to return to the same place a second time. Usually the same results come out, which is good. We've not been to this club for a while, so we've not blogged this area yet. We used google to find the evenings food. A lovely looking restaurant with dry ice water features, very nice indeed. Yeung Chow rice was ordered, one without soya.

China Garden in Baldock

Hello!

We're in the middle of our seasonal work, most of which means we can eat at home or hit Ming Kee in Warwick. But tonight we've travelled over to Baldock for an extra special performance. This means that I ordered the food in full victorian costume. Did I get funny looks? Probably not as funny as in medieval hat, but funny looks none the less! So the usual was ordered. The result? A usual 8/10.

Ming Garden in Newport

Hello!

After a really, really early start on the Saturday morning and playing Christmas carols all day we were starving. We've been on the road for a couple of weeks now and we thought it was about time to go out and have a meal together. Our B&B was on a farm in the middle of no-where so we drove on down and into Newport and into the first chinese. Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style with rice. Chicken with ginger and pineapple. It was delicious! Maybe it was because we were in a restaurant or that we were hungry. But the food was delicious! It was expensive, but it always is when you sit in. The chairs were quite low and had a comedy moment of plonking further down than expected. So the score? 8/10. Only 8 because the food should have been wonderful and it was. Yum.

The Avenue in Southampton

Hello!

We're down in Southampton on our way from Salford down to the Isle of Wight. We were quite starving after our long drive. Tonight we had the luxury of ordering the food and taking it back up to our hotel room nearby. So we ate with proper seats and a table. I don't think this made the food taste better but it was very tastey indeed. Overall we gave a very respectible 8/10.
