The more informal ones also have set menus, as in, for 2 people it's a mixture of a starter, a main, etc. It's probably quite reasonably priced, as my friends who were dining with me didn't seem that surprised with the price, guess I'm not used to having that expensive meals! :)monchichihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417576256438593820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104350470414924764.post-60283843791389829712009-01-30T01:36:00.000+08:002009-01-30T01:36:00.000+08:00Hi monchichi,Soup aside, the rest of the dishes lo...Hi monchichi,<BR/><BR/>Soup aside, the rest of the dishes look quite good. In fact, it does not sound too expensive! Out of curiosity: do Chinese restaurants in the UK offer fixed price menus? The ones here, for a table of 10 (on ONE table, hehehehe), 8 to 10 dishes can cost around CAD$500 to CAD$600 (tips included, that would be around ~350GBP). Of course, that depends on the restaurant itself and the exact menu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104350470414924764.post-1942358169710678122009-01-29T18:25:00.000+08:002009-01-29T18:25:00.000+08:00Quite a few people have mentioned Gold Mine as a w...Quite a few people have mentioned Gold Mine as a worthy competitor of Four Seasons, so I'll try it out next time I'm there, thanks for the tip.
