Laiwah in Staffordshire Moorlands

Decided to sample a good portion of popular items from the menu: Salt and Chilli Chips, Chicken and Ribs, Duck in Black Pepper Sauce, Hot and Sour Soup, Chow Mein, Egg Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Sauce and some free Vegetable Spring Rolls thrown in. Salt and Chilli flavour wasn't necessarily what I was used to from other takeaways, however was fairly flavourful especially on the ribs, which were enjoyable. The quality of the chicken pieces seemed poor - they were fairly dry to the point that even the Sweet and Sour sauce couldn't save them. Chow Mein noodles were a little too soft but otherwise what you would expect. Hot and Sour Soup tasted like Sweet and Sour sauce I missed the other flavours I would usually associate with this soup, no vinegar or umami notes made it through the sweetness. While not unpleasant, the soup lacked depth. Black Pepper sauce flavours were strong, punchy pepper balanced with a slight sweetness, a spot-on consistency and selection of vegetables, I especially enjoyed the inclusion of water chestnut and mushroom for added texture. This was paired with a well-seasoned Egg Fried Rice. Overall, not a bad Chinese takeaway, but there are better options five minutes up the road in Cheadle.

Great takeaway Chinese, quick service good quality food, can either call in or phone for delivery's, friendly helpful staff.
