Wimbledon has a lovely indian restaurant, thankfully just a few minutes from my front door. It was the first place we visited after moving in and there’s been no reason to go elsewhere.
The same cannot be said for chinese takeaways. Obviously this is a punishment for having a nice curry house, so there’s been trial and error to find somewhere else:
Nu - Kingston Road, SW19 [gmap]
Looks nice from the outside with a modern interior and friendly staff. Didn’t look dingy from the outside. Order: 2x sweet & sour chicken, rice and prawn crackers.
The sticky rice was good and the prawn crackers were very thin and greasy, but the chicken balls, well, lacked chicken. They were huge but each one had the tiniest bit of chicken in it, the rest being made up of tasteless, uncooked, doughy batter. On the international scale of chicken ball crispyness they’d get a 0. 10/10 for soggyness though. Sauce was also disgusting, that lovely radioactive colour that only chinese restaurants know how to produce.
Total cost: £13.40. Won’t go back.
