Chinese restaurants have been a bit overtaken by the influx of other types of Asian food. Most times, I would prefer to get Thai, Japanese or Vietnamese, but occasionally, you can’t beat a good old Chinese. The Regent Garden is probably Molesey’s best Chinese restaurant. I make a point of going their over the others because they do not put MSG in any of their dishes, and also make their food GM-free. Plus I think their food is tastier then the rivals. When I get a takeaway I usually go for the deep fried aubergines in salt and pepper with chillies. It is delicious, but calorie wise, I can only afford to have this about once a year. Less fattening choices, but equally as good, are the fish and sea food dishes. I like the salmon stir fried with ginger and spring onions, or the scallops with asparagus. The duck is particularly good here too. The portions are large and the food is reasonably inexpensive, around £5 or £6 for a main dish. Another thing I like about this place — somehow I must have given them my details when I first came here, i. e date of birth and address — so on my birthday, I always get a card through the post from them, and it is always one of those cards that start singing when you open them. Genius.
