This week it's Chinese.
Feast Chinese
85 Dalry Road, Haymarket, Edinburgh
Claire C indulges in the Set Menu B. "There is a lot of food to eat," she remarks, including "sticky ribs, satay, and spring rolls" to start. Where the mains are concerned, she highly recommends the "crispy shredded duck, sweet and sour battered prawns, and beef in ginger".
Asia Style
185 St Georges Road, Charing Cross, Glasgow
Lex G recommends that you "dine on ultra-savoury Malaysian pancakes which you generously coat with a luscious curry sauce with a kick. Crispy chilli and salt squid and soft shell crab are not to miss, nor are the noodles or the duck!"
New Lee On
4-5 Bruntsfield Place, Bruntsfield, Edinburgh
"I love it!" swoons Alex J. "It's not fancy, but it's colourfully decorated inside and has some lovely staff". She dines in with a bowl of "sweet and sour soup" and heaped helping of "Singapore noodles".
Lychee Oriental
59 Mitchell Street, Glasgow City Centre
Jules M "chose the vegetable spring rolls with a chili dip and salad to start, followed by vegetables in black bean sauce and egg fried rice". The lunch menu is £9.80 for a starter and main!
Kweilin Restaurant
19-21 Dundas Street, New Town, Edinburgh
"One of the classic old gentlemen of the Cantonese restaurant scene in Edinburgh", this is where Cheryl C goes to fill up on "lemon chicken and the everlastingly good chow mein". Even after all that she still manages a banana fritter. "Tremendous".
Banana Leaf
67 Cambridge Street, Glasgow City Centre
"The stand outs for me were the squid and scallops - perfectly cooked, they just melted in your mouth. I also really liked the beef brisket curry and happily devoured it with the rice," raves Austen M.
Stack Dim Sum
42 Dalmeny Street, Leith, Edinburgh
"Stack is full of surprises," says Richard C. "The asparagus and salmon dumplings were a bit of a highlight for me, and I particularly love the smashed squid cakes - these flash-fried little packages of loveliness are a delight."
Ho Wong
82 York Street, Glasgow City Centre
Scott C sampled the business lunch menu - £11.90 for two courses. "Lovely fried rice and the beef gumbo was delicious; the thick beef strips and peppers working their magic in my mouth."
Karen's Unicorn
8b Abercromby Place, New Town, Edinburgh
Michelle P has been "waiting for a long time to find a place that compares to the quality I was used to in the SF bay area, but Karen's Unicorn delivered. I was impressed by the light and fresh vegetable spring rolls and the warm towels between courses."
Opium
191 Hope Street, Glasgow City Centre
The real star on this menu is the dim sum, as Hayley M agrees. "You can choose from steamed or fried. I opted for the crab meat and chive dumpling which was meltingly good! We also got chilli & salt pepper squid which was battered lightly and XO tiger prawns and scallops which were tasty and not too spicy."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
