Love is in the air 💕
To stay in or go out for Valentines that is the question? Hasn’t 2020 been a damp squid so far? ⛈
It was dry for a few hours last night so we decided to give Amber Regent, voted one of Glasgow’s best Chinese 🇨🇳 restaurants a go.
With fans such as Billy Connolly and Matt Lucas we thought this suited our classy nature 🙋🏼‍♂️🤣
They were extremely accommodating squeezing us in so last minute and we can’t thank them enough because guys and gals, think we have possibly discovered the best Chinese in Glasgow!
As one of my all time fave foods growing up, it’s fair to say that Glasgow city centre is severely lacking in amazing Chinese restaurants when you compare to the likes of other metropolitan China Town offerings. A rare find some might say.. 🧐
We shared a Chinese Platter which was Devine, my goodness! What to say! Prawn dishes are never my highlight but Prawn Toast and Tempura stole the show with amazing seasoning and light batter. Incredibly moreish! Honestly I prefer chicken satay and ribs any day but these two platter dishes were incredibly impressive! Will be back for this platter and maybe have it all to myself? 🤣
For Mains I indulged in a Crispy Pork Belly, Bao Bun. I was not expecting this great presentation but at first I’m not going to lie, I’ve had Crispy Pork Belly elsewhere and not seen that much fat attached to it.
Let me tell you right now, this was the best thing ever! The fat was so crispy and mouth watering (sorry vegetarians), never tasted fat like that 🤣and the accompaniments for my Bao Bun were so lush! Will be back for this dish.
My ball and chain had the Beef with ginger, shallots and fried rice. It was very satisfying, the beef was tender and juicy, but we were both a bit hammered by the end of the meal so.. 🥴🤣
The service was brilliant, the manageress was fantastic. All the staff were chirpy. Subsequent research shows it’s been going for 30 years strong and it’s not hard to see why! Well done guys! We shall be back! @amberregent #chinese #glasgow #instadaily #instafood #reviews #critics #foodblog #glasgowfoodblogger
