Ken Lo's Memories of China

There's a cool sophistication about Ken Lo's near legendary Belgravia oriental restaurant, with its sleek glass exterior oozing upmarket appeal. Inside, the promised quality abounds, with subtle modern Chinese design - bamboo wallpaper, sandalwood screens and red lanterns and seating, backed by formally dressed but friendly staff. The atmosphere adds to the enjoyment as the place really buzzes in the evening. Reassuringly authentic Chinese cuisine (with a few modern twists) is the kitchen's forte, delivered via a lengthy carte showcasing classic regional cooking and bolstered by a repertoire of set-menu options. Typical dishes include squid spiced with garlic, chilli and spring onion on deep-fried cabbage, kuo ta egg-battered chicken with chicken broth and garlic, and home-made ginger ice cream.
