Is anyone still around who knows me? If you are it would be great to hear from you. Leave me a message in my guest book to let me know that you are all ok and I will contact you back. It would be nice to know how everyone is doing.
It does not only do food but has shops and small cafes and a few restuarants inside too.
It is a big long complex based on two floors.
The buffet section is on the ground floor and has many different huts serving different types of Chinese food. I love Chinese and so does my partner, considering he is from a Chinese background it helps because he has an idea of what I will and will not like. Since going out with him he has introduced me to many types of Chinese foods that I did not know existed.
The buffet has many diiferent small huts ranging from Thai, Dim Sum, Vietemise, Malyasian and many more. Each serving their own dishes.
Now Dim Sum you may never of heard of because I didn't until he introduced me to it. Dim Sum is dumplings filled with minced meat, crab, prawns and is steamed. It is great tasting and great value at Oriental City. You get 4 and they are quite big. Prices are between £1.70 and £2.20 depending on what you have in them. They also do Chinese Pasta and I had never had this before and this is nice too. Especially with the sauce they put over it.
Now all the pictures and prices are posted all over the huts so you get and idea what you are eating before you order it.
We usually eat rice noodles from the Cafe Centoza but last time we went we decided to try them from the Vietemise counter and they costed slgihtly more and tasted no way near as good.
The portion costs about £4.30 and is a served mountain high from the cafe Centoza.
What you do is order and pay for your food and like a deli counter you get a ticket and are called when your food is ready to collect it.
The buffet can seat around 150 people at a time but whenever we have gone it has never been that busy.
I like Oriental City, well their buffet because you have a wide choice. Although I tend to eat the same things each time I go it is not expensive at all. A meal for the 2 of us is just over 10 pounds and I usually always end up having indegestion when I eat there because the food is great and I don't want it to go to waste and I am also paying for it.
Anyone who lives in this area or in London and loves Chinese. I recomend you try it and you will love it. You may even try things that you didn't know about and love them.Like I did.
It is so so cheap and is also clean and you can see them cooking your food and what they do.
They are open 7 days a week and open until 8pm during the week.
I wouldn't say it was a romantic place to eat by far but is cheap and is ideal if you do not want to cook and you fancy a cheap but tasty Chinese meal.
