Tai Tung (Purley)

• Tai Tung is one of the best Chinese restaurants in South London
• They serve up incredibly tasty Chinese food that is popular with both orientals and non orientals alike
• I would recommend their Dim Sum at it is scrumptious
• Tai Tung really is a hidden gem
• The service is quick but unfriendly
• Its only major downside is that it is a little difficult to get to and it doesn't deliver (though you can collect food)
• If you can get there then it is really worth it
• One of the best Chinese restaurants outside of London's Chinatown
• Though tend to stick to my own personal favourites unless I'm with a party and we have a 'tasting' banquet
• Salt and the Cantonese Sizzling Beef along with the crispy noodles and copious amounts of Chinese tea
• The wing yip centre alone is something extraordinary but last time I visited the centre I got a take away here and was delicious
• This restaurant is your standard Chinese restaurant like any other
• Chicken claws with blackbean sauce
• Turnip paste and chicken with Chinese mushroom rice claypot
• The chicken claws in blackbean sauce was good and had a little spicyness to it
• Shui mei was ok though the prawns were smaller like shrimps rather being actual prawns
• The claypot rice was didn't have the wow factor rather plain in texture and no seasoning
• The char sui cheung fun was nothing special
• I couldn't taste the 'roast' flavour in the pork which was somewhat disappointing
