alistair Shout out to Zenxi in Chelmsford. Best Oriental/ Chinese restaurant there. Comparable with Hakkasan but nowhere near as expensive. Had the seafood set menu with my wife last night 👌
RichM alistair never been, but Driink across the road does the best coffee in Chelmsford by a long way
Smallman1 Whenever the words Dave and China come together I think one thing and one thing only. Wade-Giles transliteration!
alistair Mad_Cyril XO sauce or ginger scallion for me on seafood. Scrub that, plunge it all in Satay 🤣
Along_the_Wire I’m sure that some of the finest Chinese chefs in the land thought that Chelmsford would be the perfect spot for the Hakkasan of Essex.
hugopal Along_the_Wire nowhere, Essex is largely shit Yes I’m aware it’s largely shit, but “the Hakkasan of Essex” would still have to be somewhere in Essex. “The finest Chinese chefs in the land” couldn’t create “the Hakkasan of Essex” in Devon, for instance.
Christian This evening I shall be dining in back in time in Chelmsford. Not been there for at least 30 years and according to the web site, it looks exactly the same. Can’t imagine the menu has changed either
