Jasmine Moon Chinese in Barsha - any good?

I see... I suppose there's some of that in Aus too but I've always preferred the authentic restaurants that cater less to western tastebuds! Also... CHIPS AND CURRY?! Wow. That's a new one! Best Chinese in Dubai is Lan Kwai Fong which is near Lamcy Plaza. Owned and run by a Hong Kong Chinese. They do the most amazing Peking Duck.

jwal you were right....it was very mediocre... it was "nice" (pet hate word of mine) but really nowt much. We had: Crispy Honey Chilli Chicken which himself said was nice - I didn't even try it as deep fried little bits of meat like that really doesn't do it for me. When I told him I would be reporting back to you esteemed lot he said "It was lovely.....but missing something...I'm not sure what...and I'm not in a rush to go back". Earthquake balls... quite liked these - thanks Sniffy! But they were a bit soggy when they arrived - bet they're lovely fresh - we went for "medium" and they had a quite a bit of poke (basically ground chicken with spice). I had the JM Special Chicken - which turned out to basically be the above chicken mix wrapped in a Bernard Matthews type chicken shell but with a very lovely sauce including lots of cashews - and I enjoyed for what it was. Egg fried rice (himself waved to me when I was on the phone to say "no sweetcorn" as he hates it and I said "when have you ever had sweetcorn in "egg fried rice"?" Sure enough it had sweetcorn in it - However - it was very well cooked - with spring onions too - and I had the lot to myself :-) Very nicely cooked rice actually. Prawn Crackers - I'm not kidding we got a SACK (as in the biggest Geant bag) of these and they weren't half bad. As you can see we didn't exactly push the boat out in terms of our order! I've been ill and I wasn't gonna go mad. The phone procedure was a doddle - the girl was brilliant - and I was a first time orderer - and it came really promptly. I reckon if you know your stuff Chinese Food wize and you can tell them what you really really want this place could potentially be good. However for me, a "seen it on the menu" orderer, everything should be great..... the quest continues, and jwal, you have a couple of "ner ners" to me :-) WHEN will we find a perfect Chinese takeout! edited by ShellyMcD on 08/01/2011 <em>edited by ShellyMcD on 08/01/2011</em>

Oh pants, too much choice! Won Ton House a bit far away and I o'd on Da shi Di when I lived in JBR. Really may try Jasmine Moon - and give jwal full permission to say ner ner ner ner ner later on! Himself is on the way, so I'll let him think he has a choice then go and order everything Sniffy said :-)

I've been struggling too jwal! Got the Jasmine Moon menu which looks fab, but no piccies to drool over! Thanks for the suggestions Sniffy :-) I can but try!
