Mini Kitchen , Cathays, Cardiff: Chinese restaurant review
On August 28, 2023 by The Plate Licked CleanGoogle has Cathays’ Mini Kitchen as part of Fortune House a couple of doors away. Ignore that: it isn’t, and the menu is a world away from chicken balls, pork chow mein and special fried rice topped with scarlet-sauced sliced meat: Chinese food through a British filter.

Mowlana, Adamsdown, Cardiff: 2023 revisit
On February 19, 2023 by The Plate Licked CleanFor those who pride themselves on the finer points of Cardiffian chicken arcana, Mowlana has long been a name to reckon with. The name, perhaps. Since 2013 in fact. Their delayed post-pandemic reopening (for refurbishment) brought more panicked update queries to my inbox than any other Cardiff restaurant. In short, it’s good to see it
