New Xiong Mao

Uuuuuh… New Xiong Mao, you dropped the ball. For over a year you have been fantastic, in your service and delivery of good quality takeaway Chinese food. Unfortunately you recently served me up a poor House special fried rice. The rice was boiled, not fried, whilst the flavour was non existent. I do hope this will not be a growing trend. You are good, but clearly not perfect. I am docking you a star.

Xiong Mao took me back to the Cuba days of ordering food through barred windows from round little ladies with busy kitchens and questionable crockery. My partner and I braved this locale and all it’s possible food standard violations to ease our undeniable hunger and packed schedule.
This take away is evidently intended for delivery only, as the scooter got the priority spot in front of the counter leaving us leaning over it whilst ordering. The customer service was also a little bare bones but my food was served hot and quick and that’s all that really matter in take-​away terms.
The special fried noodles and special crispy noodles were surprisingly good. The grease level was low, the meat was fresh & plentiful and they included a voluptuous bag of prawn crackers to munch for free.
Long story short, I’ll definitely hit this little take-​away again but vitto going in person and instead vote for calling it in.
