Chinese Chic and Cheap

Hided in a gallery near Carnaby Street (which is a very fashionable street in Soho), there is Chinese restaurant chain: Cha Cha Moon. The point is very stylish and, at first glance, it may seems to be over budget for students. However, it serves really cheap meals. From about £5 to £7 you can have many kinds of noodles- their speciality. One of my favourite dishes calls ‘XO Vermicelli’, which is basically prawn, Xo sauce (?) and rice vermicelli. A bit spicy though, but I love it! If you are not in a mood for spicy food, you should try the ‘Crispy duck tao mian’ or the ‘Seafoof ho fun’, both are delicious. All are pretty big, so don’t order a starter if you are not starving or with friends around to share. For drink? Definitely, the Shibuya Casual, a very girlie drink mixed with lychee, sake and martini. Open from breakfast till late in the evening. Last tip: try to don’t go in rush hours, specially in the weekend; otherwise you may find yourself joining the queue. -MARINA PETTI
