Ordering Strategy

Strictly grab-and-go. Eat your fritters straight from the paper bag as you walk around Chinatown. Pro tip: ask for your fritter to get a quick re-dunk in the fryer if you want it extra steaming hot and crispy.

What to order

Safe first

Oyster Cake (海蛎油饼)

Often described as a 'golden flying saucer of joy', this is the undisputed star of the menu. It is a crispy, golden-brown snack packed with oysters, prawns, seaweed, cabbage, and bean sprouts.

Hungry

Pork Fritter

A deeply savory, meaty comfort that serves as a budget-friendly and substantial alternative to the oyster cake for under £4.

Wildcard

Red Bean Paste Bao

A steaming, fluffy sweet bun that provides a necessary contrast to the salty, umami-heavy fried snacks that dominate the menu.

Wildcard

Baozi

Recommended in the Vittles Chinatown guide as a standout order from the menu.

Good to know

Takeaway only with zero seating. Online user reviews frequently flag brusque service and distracted staff, but the prices and quality make it a must-visit regardless.
