well, that’s what i said driving back from the multiplex last night. there’s a recent trend of halal chinese restaurants in britain lately. an example is chopstix at oxford street and charing cross road (nearest tube: tottenham court road) where i finally could enjoy lemon chicken and egg char fan without guilt. being peckish, i decided to head for noodle inn on london road for a little take-away.

had deep fried sotong in garlic and chilli and sizzling chicken in black bean sauce. i’ve been here a couple of times with friends and the food here is simply yum. their pak choi masak oyster sauce, albeit so simple, is just one of my favourites.

i know if you are in malaysia, all these are pretty much tak heran (muhibbah restaurant in taman tun, my favourite!) kind of fare. suppose that i’d just like to point out that i find this halal trend a welcoming one, especially when one could only order king prawn dishes every time one goes out for a chinese meal in this neck of the woods!
