It is huge and can more than feed two hungry people.jacknharrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167429562329909333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-4146525170057183512013-06-21T00:18:42.227+01:002013-06-21T00:18:42.227+01:00Hmmm.

Thought the old name was a joke, was pretty shocked when I realised it's real, glad they changed it!

The interior wasn't what i expected either but whatever, as long as the food was good.<br /><br />Everything we tried was pretty bland, a complete lack of chilli throughout, and the red braised pork i make much better myself (why i ordered this i don't know..).<br />Tea was from a tea bag, brought to us in the cup and the whole thing was made weirder by being watched by an army of staff - we were the only people in the place.<br /><br />pricing i couldn't understand either, veg dishes were all really expensive.Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-77043232733565294562013-06-17T10:50:38.423+01:002013-06-17T10:50:38.423+01:00I went over the weekend.

It's interesting that they renamed the place Baiwei but the Chinese sign and menus still say 'Big Leap Forward'.<br />The menu seems to be mainly northern Chinese. Try the mustard chicken and shredded sliced tofu with minced pork in chilli sauce next time. Both great.Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-59606619670207063522013-06-17T10:46:48.213+01:002013-06-17T10:46:48.213+01:00Mr Noodles - as am I!
