Miss Kitty’s

Where can I start with Miss Kitty’s? Located above Motel (a personal favourite) and owned by the same group as Death Row Diner, Yardbird and the aforementioned bar (all more personal favourites), we already knew we were onto a winner.
After a hefty lunch at Slim’s Pork Chop Express, we booked to eat here at 9pm. Up the neon lit staircase, you may feel like you’re walking into a form of brothel, the staircase up to the toilets simply lit by candlelight. We were greeted and told our table wouldn’t be a minute, with the option either to stay at their bar or head down to Motel.
We stayed upstairs on this occasion and ordered two drinks — a beer and a Singapore Sling — and it was only moments before we were seated. Sat next to each other rather than across, this was actually a lovely surprise and provided a more intimate dining experience. Considering it’s more than likely you’ll end up sharing, it more than makes sense.
The menu isn’t vast but has an array of delicious dishes, including dim sum and steamed gyoza to ‘the duck course’ and chicken satay. We weren’t as indulgent (read: greedy) as we usually would be, but still managed to order a feast: prawn crackers with a sprinkling of chilli; steamed vegetable gyoza; duck spring rolls; jasmine rice; and pork char siu, served with pak choi.
The stand out for me was the pork, the tenderness really standing out, perfect with the sticky jasmine rice and spot of sriracha on the side.
Service was excellent throughout and totally reflective of the rest of their Liverpool empire; genuine, friendly, and attentive.
It’s a little bit of something different in this burger and fried chicken world (not that I’m complaining about these!) so I’m already looking forward to a return visit.
