18ctea Bubble Tea Belfast in Belfast

Me dieron un vale groupon como un regalo que valen £35 por 'sabrosos bocados' (dos cursos para dos). No estaba seguro de qué esperar, como pedí una pizza para llevar a este lugar un año antes, cuando era conocido como Bella Italia. La cosa más rara cosa era que había cambiado su nombre a 'sabrosos bocados', sin embargo el sitio web dieron era 'basilrestaurant.moonfruit.com' - la misma dirección; 155 upper Lisburn Road. Cuando llegué también pude ver que había un cartel en el restaurante que dijo "Bella Italia". Parece muy extraño que este restaurante cambiaría su nombre tan a menudo. Le dije al personal que tenía un bono groupon, y me dijeron que el cupón se canceló y tengo que contactar groupon sobre un reembolso. aún Tengo que volver a oír groupon, pero el personal no me dio razón por qué este bono repentinamente nula. todo parecía un poco extraño, y simplemente, mal negocio. El horrible servicio y muy extraño que ha cambiado su nombre tan a menudo.

Ok this is a warning to anyone thinking of going to this grim place to eat. I walked by at 10:45am and the shutters were still down but there was a considerable amount of already pre cooked food sitting in Bain Marie’s. There was a wok well filled with beef, green peppers and black bean. It was just sitting there when the ‘cook’ came over, turned on the heat and tipped in a considerable amount of white sugar and white mushrooms and began ‘cooking’. I find this disgusting and unacceptable. These places really give Chinese food a bad reputation - here only profit matters it’s one of the ‘do ya rightly’ places that has no place on any serious food scene. The main trade here starts lunch time so the food was going to sit about 75 minutes at the least - I mean Chinese food is fast fried chicken, beef and so on, with crispy vegetables certainly not meat stewed and vegetables sautéed for over an hour in sugar laced/monosodium glutamate corn starch thickened sauces. Any battered chicken (and it’s almost all chicken here) sitting for well over an hour poaching will become stringy and fibrous. The only reason this chicken will remain crisp ish in this situation is all credit to the chemical industry - potato starch that can be fried for 3 minutes to crisp or 45 minutes and remain un effected. Not only would I avoid this place at all costs I’d close it down as offensive to good food.

I don't understand the bad reviews here. I also think it's wrongly listed here - it's really not that expensive for what you get. Here are some of the things I appreciate about Camile Thai: 1. Biodegradable takeaway packaging (that is also super pretty). Nobody needs more plastic takeaway containers. Paper bag too. 2. I love that they offer a brown/wild rice mix as well as jasmine rice. 3. Great vegan options, great kids meal options. Something for everyone, in my family at least. 4. The food is really delicious. Nothing feels artificial; doesn't leave you with grease coming out of your pores or an msg headache. 5. The portion sizes are good. 2 meals could feed 3 people. There are meal deals online which they'll give you if you ask for them over the phone too (the website is iffy). Hope that helps someone!

I have used chi chi for a good few years, though I hadn't been for a while as the last few times I felt the food was below par & very salty. However, I decided to give them another go tonight, 4.10.24, and I was not disappointed ! The chow mein was lovely - thin noodles, not greasy and loads of veg and spices. I don't know if they've changed the chef, but whatever they've done has made all the difference. Back to the good old chi chi.
