THE RED CHAMBER

Last night for the first time I ate at The Red Chamber,its a Chinese restaurant in Hyde Park, the food was divine,atmosphere enjoyable and relaxing and the restaurant almost fully booked.

Apparently they have been around since Hyde Park shopping centre was built and any restaurant that can last that long should definitly be a hot spot to go for lunch or dinner.

We started with wonton soup which was not their strong point interms of authentic taste and flavour but good nontheless, we then had beef noodles which was one of the best things I have eaten in a while, sizzling prawns with a satay sauce which when they say sizzling thats what they mean, they were so tantalizing we could have ate bucket loads, we tried the pork dumplings and then to finish off we had the half peking duck with pancakes, plum sauce, cucumber and springonion, there were no words for that dish and little left on the plate after.

This is definitly a place to try, very well priced for both food and wine and just a fantastic restaurant all round.
