Just in case you were thinking I was starving myself - not the case at all! In fact this afternoon a friend and I were stuffing ourselves silly at the Grand Buffet at Kylin. I hadn't visited before but had heard good things about the place and indeed I was impressed. And Chinese new year too - what an auspicious day to visit!
So, from the street through the double doors into a roomy foyer and then into the restaurant proper. The former Leveys DIY store has been transformed into a palace! Comfortable chairs and tables, a respectable distance apart; beautiful decor; friendly and helpful staff but not too overpowering; good-looking tasty food! What more could you want? We sat and chatted and munched our way through seaweed, dim sum, noodles, chicken in various forms, rice, duck - all your favourites are here - and there's even puds! Puds are a bit English i.e. cheesecake and icecream but I'm not complaining. However, I did once have an amazing coconut pud in another chinese buffet and have heard rumours about toffee apple balls? (can this be right??)
All in all, a clean, friendly, happy place and a credit to South Shields!
