Had a similar version at Chang's Noodle in Bloomsbury (they have a few Western Chinese dishes on their menu) - the bread felt pretty spot on but the filling was so greasy (like, oil running down my arm greasy) that it was a bit off putting.Sharmilahttp://www.riceandpickle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-49091627601000974412013-02-23T00:37:36.545+00:002013-02-23T00:37:36.545+00:00Anon - not sure what you mean by 'dumbed down ...Anon - not sure what you mean by 'dumbed down for the dull British tastebuds'. It's not as if roujiamo is meant to be particularly spicy or anything. If the point you're trying to make is that it's underseasoned then say so.

I find it a nice idea, but quite lacking in flavour. It feels like it has been dumbed down for the dull British tastebuds. Kinda crying out for some heat and spice, and yep, yer star anise or ginger. Even some bleedin soy sauce would help.<br /><br />A lovely idea and cheap as chips, but not something I'd go back for right now. Shame. <br /><br />Bruno's cakes, however...

Soda farls ... interesting - will look into it, thanks!. Another possibility is some kind of mini naan/flatbread to mimic China Poblano in Las Vegas.<br /><br />We made our own 'mo' when testing out the dish but quickly realised it would be a logistical nightmare at this stage to produce them in large quantities - plus longer term we'll be making our own hand-ripped Biang Biang Noodles too. Hopefully one day ... BTW Lizzie we're supporting the relaunch of Catford Broadway Market (round the corner from me) on March 3 - nearer than Archway!Chris O'Bhttp://www.mamawangskitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-61271487235299670202013-02-19T14:04:25.635+00:002013-02-19T14:04:25.635+00:00Archway's still in Zone 2 - and it's not s...Archway's still in Zone 2 - and it's not so far, it's just outside my flat! ;) <br /><br />I grabbed one of these two weeks ago on my way home from the supermarket, not knowing anything other than 'pork in bun, plus spices' and I thought it was fab. I liked the crunch of the carrots, although I agree flavour-wise it wasn't really necessary.
