Gordons Kitchen Manchester

This is the best example of a 'Chinese Chippy'.. a gloriously northern institution. It's the endless possibilities that excite me... mixing Hollands pies with Salt and Pepper Chips..or a mixed meat curry with sausage starter. Superb. It does solid chippy fare and good Chinese food... If you want to stick to genres....but why do that! ?

Gordon's Kitchen: 'Fish & Chips and Delicious Chinese Meals'. Dishes: numbered 1-208 as per British Chinese take-away tradition. Menu: dirty white. Hmm, doesn't bode well... Food: absolutely amazing. Prices: unbelievably cheap. Delivery Speed: speed of light. Gordon's Kitchen is the best Chinese take-away I've been to in Manchester, without a shadow of a doubt. The selection of main meals is the same as any Chinese take-away, with nothing left out. The prices range from £4.40 to £5, for the King Prawn dishes. Also, you don't even have to buy rice separately as every dish comes with either boiled rice or chips, which can be upgraded to egg fried rice for just 40p, to Chow Mein for 60p or to Udon noodles for £1. Starters are also ridiculously cheap, with the standard prawn toast and spring roles at £2 and the more extravagant going right up to a hardy extortionate £2.50. I always get the Siu Mai pork and prawn dumplings, which are honestly as good Dim Sum as I've had in many a posh Dim Sum restaurant. For a main I recommend the Chilli & Garlic Sauce with your meat or choice, but I must warn its much much spicier than any Chinese I've had before so for those less inclined towards a pleasantly simmering mouth and a slight reddening of the ears, I would suggest the Ginger & Spring Onion Sauce, which is very similar but considerably less spicy. Also, one portion of prawn crackers is two huge bags full, enough to alleviate famine in a small desert ecosystem. I do live fairly close but they deliver in an incredibly fast time, and unlike all other take-aways I use, don't panic and descend into paranoid mania when they realize they have to deliver to a block of flats.
