WoWo – Chinese language quick meals – Nottingham

This new addition to the town centre claims to “Discover the authenticity and pleasure of a real Chinese language Takeaway”. Their polished web site, that feels prefer it’s been written by AI, claims they’ve been “taming the wok since 1968”. I wander previous one night and determine I ought to give it a go. They’ve had a fairly swish match out with some trendy chairs, which mix with the uncovered brick and work of Asian streets to all appear disconnected. It’s fairly a large menu, not simply bins of noodles however Bao, loaded fries and extra. I’m eager to be a bit wholesome and to check their claims of authenticity so I am going for ‘spicy Szechuan Tofu’ for £7.50.

I knew I had ordered a major dish with out rice, however nonetheless felt such as you didn’t get rather a lot in your cash. There was no rebound from the preliminary disappointment, the meals nearer to candy and bitter with just a few added chilli flakes than true Szechuan type. The sauce was candy and cloying, the opposite redeeming function the tofu which was properly cooked and nonetheless had an excellent texture regardless of being lined within the woeful sauce.

My favorite of a lot of these locations, significantly for worth, is undoubtedly Scorching Wok who’re quickly to return from hiatus. No seating there however noodle bins at with nice flavour and full to the brim so look previous their low cost indicators of field meals and provides them a go as an alternative. If you’d like one thing somewhat extra upmarket Kokoro might be the choose. If you wish to Szechuan meals then Shangahi Shangahi has nonetheless obtained it after one other good go to earlier this month.
