I would recommend the Penang at lunchtime for an excellent Malaysian all-you-can-eat buffet.

They vary the menu too from day to day. 2 sittings - 1200 and 1330. Reservation a must at 0161 228 6668. May I recommend the Far East, Berry Street, Liverpool (up stairs) for dim-sums. Always good and always full of Chinese people. Richard Corbett

In London I usually go to Joy King Lau in Leicester Street, just off Leicester Square, for dim sum. It's small and they don't wheel the food around in trolleys like some of the bigger restaurants, such as Chung Cheng Ku in Wardour Street, but it's probably fresher that way.

I think) and buy yourself a Char siu CHAN bau. This is the oven-baked version in sweet pastry. It makes a brilliant lunch/snack. Cost about £1 last time I bought one. If you are really hungry have an eqq-tart for desert. Ask for an "Eh!-Tar!" Which appears to be Cantonese for Egg Tart!! Salivating!

They used to use trolleys but I think that stopped before the fire. Sadly, their dimsum menu has also got smaller over the years and in recent times never changes. dim sum main serving time is lunchtimes, where they deserve their own menu. In the evening there's just the usual ones you find everywhere else. cha siu and wind dried oyster parcels, chilli stuffed with prawn, cuttlefish cake with lemongrass, fried glutinous rice with wind dried sausage, chicken feet in blackbean sauce, minced dace fish cake, ox tripe, sharks fin soup dumpling , chicken and glutinous rice in lotus leaf, various steamed and fried bau. Lots more I cant remember (you really must try the cs&wdo parcels, ive even ordered more portions to take home afterwards <g>) for the 2 of us it usually costs us £30 for 5-6 portions, a large portion of their fried noodles with beansprouts (drool), a couple of drinks plus tip. After there, everywhere else is depressingly the same. Always prawn on toast, sui mai, won ton, crab claws etc etc -- Claire Richard C. wrote: > > Fongyee W. wrote in > message news:zhuD9.3069$[email removed]... > > DC wrote: > > > > <snip > > > Doesn't Yan Sing (sp?) in Manchester also do dimsum?
