Lyalena Lounge, City Road, Cardiff: review
On December 14, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanYour starter for ten. ‘All the men want it…I don’t know why! All the men love it. Women, they don’t seem so keen. But men? They always want it…’ We’ll find out soon enough what my server, the lovely Haja, was talking about. And no, it’s not that. Among City Road’s vape shops, barbers, peri

U Mi Chinese Noodle and Rice Restaurant, Churchill Way, Cardiff city centre: review

Cuisines Negombo Sri Lankan restaurant, Canton, Cardiff: review
On June 14, 2025 by The Plate Licked CleanCuisines Negombo sits where the interesting but short-lived Rasathi did. Unlike Rasathi, though, you can now eat in on a solitary table: so there is no need now to eat your Sri Lankan order in Victoria Park, though its demise means I never got to pitch them my ‘Patty in the Park’ idea.
