If you need a Far East fix — and you need it fast! — this contemporary, Ikea-style diner is your immediate destination diner. You won’t find prawn crackers and pork balls here; instead, a much hipper (and much more authentic) range of exotic delights are within reach. There aren’t any starters — instead, the punter is steered gently towards a range of side dishes to accompany an extensive selection of mains divided under three headings: rice dishes, noodles and soup. It may look like a straightforward formula, but the choice is exhaustive (if not exhausting): beef, chicken, duck, prawns, pork, vegetables, tofu, coconut, fruit, chilli and on and on and on, in various degrees of attention-grabbing, ‘try me’ combinations, all at rock-bottom prices. Okay, so the location isn’t that great: HKB currently sits on the side of a building site. But it’ll come into its own when the Southgate development is completed.
