I have tried many Chinese takeaways and there is always that little something missing that stops me giving a full 5 stars. I have finally found my 5 star in the De Bao and its right on my doorstep.
My phone was on constant speed dial for over half hour before my phone was answered an it had only just opened up; that's always a good sign.
My order, from left to right was Sweet n Sour Spare Ribs, Honey & Chilli King Prawn in batter and Singapore Style Chow Mein. The obligatory bag of chips with curry sauce dip complete the meal.
Don't be fooled by those dark ribs; they are slightly crispy on the outer edge but beautifully soft iside. The sweet n sour sauce has to be home made. Its not that thick orangey-red stuff you usually get, this sauce is light, delicately spiced and slightly more sour than sweet, but its difficult to tell because the flavour changes then changes back again. Its a merry-go-round on the taste buds.
The chow mein comprised of perfectly cooked noodles, veg, various meats and prawns and was deliciously flavoured.
And finally those prawns. Wow! They are very different. Cooked in a thin batter and bathed in a honey and hot spicy sauce.
This was my perfect meal and believe me, I am very fussy. I love the heat from this meal. Not too much, but may be a little too warm for some. If you aren't keen on heat or spices choose from the menu carefully.
I have marked 'Atmosphere' as a 5 because I couldn't remove it. As I used a delivery service so used the mark for the guy that delivered. He was very friendly and helpful.
Just had a delicious takeaway 😋 it was so delicious 😋 a long wait 35 mins but certainly worth it for the piping hot food still red hot when I walked in with it this Chinese takeaway is on busy main road parking not always good its just on road parking 😋 delicious fresh and piping hot certainly would go again oh dear I went again wasn't very good this time I will leave the 4 stars because last time it was amazing salt and pepper chips very dry sweet and sour sauce very watery it's a shame 🫠 I didn't eat much of it if I go again I hope its as delicious as the first time if I go again that is
Ordered a Takeaway from this place while on holiday in Skegness this past week, Wednesday evening, delivered to our Holiday Haven Site ( Used to be Richmond) No doubt it was the nicest Chinese Takeaway we have ever had , even better than from our favourite Takeaway in our home town we have on a regular basis. Best everything! And delivery and price was spot on. Delicious! A highlight of our week 😁👍
