It's a bit of everything, it's an odd proposition. Huge takeaway menu, strange ordering system, uneven results. Thai, Korean, Szechuan, Cantonese etc. Piece up tomorrow

Quick heads up that 卡村饭馆 aka Cardiff Restaurant on Salisbury Road is now called 'Kachun.'

You might know how good Sunday lunch is at The Old Moat House, but here's another reason to book a visit: they have just signed up to StreetSmart again, so they're raising money for some of the most vulnerable people around.
Here's what I thought:

Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a new place this much (not in #Cardiff, anyway)
Went 3x last week, tipped a few off, everyone who has already been has loved it.
You need to know about this place. (The next Lahore, perhaps..?)

I was so impressed, I was messaging people during my meal. They've all been, they've all loved it. Give it a go, let me know how you find it

Weird! Although my reach has fallen off a cliff on there, others can see what I'm posting

Ha that bread..! Good selection. Loved that fahsa. Hope it was busy in there.

NEW on the blog:
It's two years since I first told you about the quiet revolution at The Flora: so it's time to go back for their new menu, where Steve Bennett continues to set the standard for casual pub dining in #Cardiff...

This started as a simple review and turned into...something else, I suppose.
Anyway. Here it is.

Indian Express in Caroline Street showing why they're one of my favourite cheap eats in the city centre. Fresh naan chicken tikka wrap: £7.50 and big enough to choke a donkey.

(Literally. Am now blacklisted by the RSPCA).
