Wendover Peeking Restaurant

As it was my Birthday we visited my Parents in Buckinghamshire, Whilst there we went out for dinner to a Chinese restaurant in Wendover called Wendover Peeking.

They had lots of signs up stating that they had achieved a five star rating on their environmental "Scores on the Doors" visit, this was quite nice as all of my favourite restaurants in Crawley seem to repeatedly score zero stars, the restaurant was good but there did seem to be slightly too many staff and it felt a bit over bearing at times. The food was first class however, I was slightly worried when instead of Singapore Style Special Fried Vermicelli the menu had the much more simplistic name of Spicy Noodles, however after ordering them I found that they were Singapore style and in fact some of the best I have had for a while.

And best of all, unlike the properties in the adjacent estate agents the food was not overpriced with a few reasonable set menus and a very tempting "Surprise Me" option, although we did not quite feel brave enough for this.

Genghis Khan's BBQ - Brighton

Tonight we went to Genghis Khan's Mongolian barbecue in Brighton. I have been to a Mongolian barbecue once before when we found one in a shopping mall food court whilst travelling across America, that was good and a surprise to find something like that in a mall, between McDonald's and Taco Bell but the one in Brighton is great, it costs a very reasonable £10.95 (14.50 at weekends) and is great fun.
If you have never been to a Mongolian barbecue before it is a good concept, you take your bowl and fill it from the cold buffet, there is a choice of meat (lamb, beef, chicken, pork) or fish (prawns, white fish, mussels, calamari) and mix it with the plethora of sauces (satay, curry, BBQ to name just a few) and vegetables, spices etc...
You take these too a grill area where it is stir fried and returned ready for eating, after which you can start again.
Anyway, the only draw back I found was too much choice which made it hard to stop, the drinks were also good, if not a touch pricey, the rest of my party had a pitcher of cocktails - the Wrath of Khan which was a mind blower, as the designated driver I stuck to the non-alcholic ones, I also heartily recommend the Khan's Platter for the dessert.

The barbecue can be found at 15-17 Middle Street Brighton, 01273 323605 for booking.
