[Dine out in Lake District] The golden mountain Chinese restaurant

Okok,  we have done it again.  Visiting a local Chinese restaurant in countryside of England.  Last time when we were in New Forest, we were SHOCKED when they served us the "Crispy Duck" which all the duck meat are chopped and diced in very very little pieces!!!  This is absolutely weird to us.    Never mind, I always want a bowl of rice as my comfort food when away from home, so we did it again and went to local Chinese restaurant, this time in Windermere, which having a very good rating in trip advisor.

To play safe, I know their food are target to western people, so we will not order any crispy duck again.  I have ordered "Beef with XO sauce", "roast pork and mushroom foo yung", "sizzling squid", "salt and pepper wings".  Their service was excellent.  The food was not bad.  And I had my comfort food - a bowl of rice.  The bill came to £37.  At the end, we had two very very lovely fortune cookies, as u can see below.  It made our day.  :-)

[Dine out in Loch Lomond] The Cruin

We were attending a very good friend's wedding in the Cruin.  The food was very nice as u can see  :-)

[Dine out in Loch Lomond] Duck bay restaurant

It was a very nice lunch indeed.  Mr Chen had the scallops and king prawns spaghetti, and I had a seafood dish.  It was fillet of haddock, over a bed of photo mash with creamy sauce.  Very delicious.  However I do not like the side vegetables, they are simply overcooked :-S

It was around £40, two drinks two teas two main courses.   Things are definitely cheaper in Scotland, when u compare it with London.

[Dine out in Loch Lomond] Brewers Fayre restaurant

  

  

Well, we chosen this place just because it is next to Premier Inn, where we were stayed while in Loch Lomonn.  Good value, pub food, u get what u paid for.   They are not super yummy but ok.   3 of us, 3 starters, 3 main courses, 2 extra side dishes, 2 teas, 1 desserts, 3 drinks, £49.    bargain!! 

[Dine out in Loch Lomond] The little cafe in Balloch Castle country park

Strictly speaking, this is not a dine out.  Just a small cafe in the Balloch castle country park, oh not a cafe coz there was no any seating area, it was just a small shop selling food.  And I had my very very very yummy roll and sausage, the crusty rolls that available only in Scotland.  Mr Chen had a not very exciting hotdog but a very scottish Irn Bru.  Apparently the bees in Balloch likes the Irn Bru very much, as soon as he moved his mouth away from the can, the bees will be there!!!    Eventually we need to use an iphone to cover the can in order to get rid of the bees!!!   Iphone can do everything!!!

[Dine out in Glasgow] Seewoo Chinese Restaurant

Mr Chen, me and my brother, 3 of us, we ordered a Seafood set for 4 people.
Starts with soup, steam scallops, fried lobsters, steam fish (forgot to take photo sorry), roast pork, roast duck, and fried noodles, and 4 bowls of rice,  then we ordered an extra Tofu dish (琵琶tofu, sorry forgot to take photo again) 

Such a wonderful dinner, and we even have fruits and cakes for desserts too!!!!

The bill came to £88.80.  What a bargain!!!

The best thing is, my brother not having Chinese dinner very often, particular a seafood one.  What a treat to him!!! :-)

[Dine out in Glasgow] Frankie and Benny's

This is the first lunch we had when we arrived Glasgow.  I found this place only because it is quite near the airport, and I love American's style restaurant which portions are always huge :)  it makes me happy.

The first one is garlic bread dough balls, with a "bowl" of butter!!!
And Mr Chen having his full rack of ribs while I was having chicken carbonara calzone.
With 2 drinks, the bill came to £35.85. 
Absolutely not bad at all.

Ok, we delayed our dinner to 8pm on that day because of this.

自製麵 / homemade noodles

These noodles are made from the dumplings dough leftover.  Not bad at all!!!

大葱豬肉餃子

Encore!!

Stir fry: beancurd, mushrooms, leeks

放leek一齊炒係因為包餃子剩嘅, 同埋garnish下蝶餸, 香啲又靚啲!
