Just reporting back on a lovely Fodorite lunch in China Town today with Julian, Mandy, Dennis and Thom. Dennis and Thom came into town from Heathrow as they had a few hours before their onward flight to Lusaka. Julian came down from Oxford and Mandy and I are based in London already.

Was lovely to meet everyone and put a few more faces to names!

Looking forward to your trip report and link to photos! ;-)

ROFL

No photos taken (oops) and no trip report... I could report back on food I guess!

Hi Michael,

Too bad I didn't have my camera -- Mandy and I went to The Parlour at Sketch for tea afterwards, and the decor in that place would have put Singita Lembombo to shame! The loos were particulalry psychdelic...imagine a modern art gallery crossed with a five-star place designed by someone on acid.

The food was excellent, though...almost too pretty to eat, but we managed!

Here's the website if you're curious:

Cheers,

I take it fish and chips was not the order of the day.

At the Chinese restaurant Mandy, Dennis and Thom all went for sweet and sour pork from the regular menu. Julian and I had dim sum - lots of little bursts of flavour from lobster dumplings to bbq pork puff pastries to squid rings to paper wrapped prawns to pork dumplings and a couple of others... YUM!

Oh man, I just finished lunch and now I'm hungry all over again!

No photos??? No fair!!!!!! ;-)

Glad you all had fun!
