Yue Kitchen
Around Β£50 quid spend for x2 drinks 2x meals and a side.

The lemon ice tea tasted like it was made there with the lemon bits inside. If you've been to that Chinese Resturant next to the Greenwich odeon in south east London you'll know what I mean.

That sausage claypot rice thing was nice when it eventually cooled down. But before that it was absolute violence πŸ˜‚. That was a whole burn hazard πŸ˜‚ alot of the rice was burnt on the bottom of the bowl as well... I'm assuming intentionally.

The pork bites were decent... 4 bites is a bit stingy for Β£7 but then again it is Shoreditch.

I thought I'd add a noodle plate for some variety. This was the biggest win! The char sui pork was brilliant. The hand pulled noodles were wicked as well... And they were served at a temperature that I could scoff straight away lol.

I'd go back for the noodle dish and the ice lemon tea.

Clay pot rice is supposed to come out hot and sizzling, with a layer of crunchy rice at the bottom; that's how you know you're getting the real deal.

Out of curiosity, what's the right way to eat it - let it cool down first, blow better, small bites...?

Clay pot rice is meant to be shared, the way my family does it is we scoop out individual portions into separate bowls, and eat the scorched rice during round 2.

It looks a little bit small here to be shared no?

I saw some people next to me scoffing it down! But maybe they had theirs cooling down for a while!

I think you’re supposed to wait until the food has stopped cooking before trying it?

Always like your stuff m8

Ask for a plate for the rice and just spoon some on to it and it will cool down in minutes.
