My friend Pak Sen was visiting London over the weekend and we managed to catch-up on Sunday (the day after Eurovision in case you need some context). I knew Pak Sen from when I was living in Singapore back in 2000 when we lived in Club St, near Chinatown in Singapore. Pak Sen now lives in Sydney so it is difficult to take him to a place to eat, when where he comes from has some of the best food. Pak Sen tells me that Wagammama is hugely popular in Sydney. In his opinion, the food is better in the London branches.
So I thought I would take him to Cha Cha Moon, the most recent enterprise of Alan Yau. I have not been to Cha Cha Moon for awhile - prices used to be as low as 3.50 quid per plate. Now you are hard-pressed to find something for 5 quid. I ordered the Seafood Ho Fun, Pak Sen ordered the Beef Ho Fun, we shared choi sum and the mooli (carrot cake style). I must admit the quality is disappointing - both ho funs were too oily, and the mooli was acceptable only. Perhaps I have been to Cha Cha Moon too many times now?
