Jun Ming (Twickenham)

• Jun Ming Is a relaxed spacious restaurant with welcoming staff and when we walked in
• The waitress offered us more than one seating arrangement which was quite nice
• The restaurant itself is a mix of Chinese and Thai food
• I developed an infatuation with it throughout the meal
• The crab had a pleasant salt and pepper coating with finely diced spring onion and chilli
• To be honest I couldn't really get to the heart of the crab meat as mostly it was over powered by the coating
• The dumplings unfortunately were like loosely flitted pouches so when we bit into them
• The texture of the dumpling itself was good and they served a healthy portion of 6 dumplings
• The sauce accompanying the dumplings was not too apetising but we had the magic red sauce
• Birds nest (delicious) and of course Peking duck (complete with authentic certificate)
• Traditionally Peking duck is served sliced into 120 pieces with flat cornflour pancakes
• On this occasion the aromatic duck was severed &
• The duck was dry and stringy in texture but it did have plenty of flavour and the skin was perfectly crispy
• It may not look like much but it is deceptively delicious
• Despite the duck being dry as a bone there was so much flavour from the crispy skin
• The wine (floral) clashed too much with favours and beer is a stable match for all the flavours
• The sizzling prawns were good enough but by far the enjoyable dish was definitely the duck
• The desserts are just a selection of pre made order board styled sweets
• The room had lots of buzz with people enjoying their food and their drink
• Neon lit bar and glittering ceiling) with decent food
• I was amazed to hear that the kitchen in the hotel I was staying in closed early
• I didn't have much hopes since there was only one table occupied
• I had to double check if I was barging into a private party
• After confirming that I was ushered to my table close to the corner with a view of the deserted road and deserted shops reminding me how lucky I was to be having some food
• I ordered some chowmein with a lot of veggies and black pepper sauce for the main course the food was served pretty quickly and the noodles was cooked to perfection and the veggies blend in just well
• The sauce was not all that great would have been perfect if the sauce was done well nonetheless I think it was more to do with my explaining skills than the food itself was the problem
• The service was quick and good
• They didn't know to explain the menu well which I felt was a bit of a let down
• Definitely the free munchies ( akki hapla ) was drool worthy
• Not a big one the food is priced reasonably well and they have a huge bar and is stocked well
