? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

New Cairo officially has its own ChinaTown with the arrival of the new Chinese restaurant in Banafseg 1, New Cairo.

Finding authentic Chinese food is a tricky task but we think this place is enough to satisfy your cravings. Their restaurant is very spacious and the menu is overwhelming, so to avoid confusion we decided to stick to the staples that the usual local clientele would go for.

We tried the dumplings, beef stir fry noodles, and their famous sweet and sour chicken:The beef stir fry noodles arrived sizzling and oozing with flavor. We could smell — and later taste — the umami with some colored peppers. The beef also tasted fresh and soft alongside the al dente noodles. Their sweet and sour chicken might taste a bit like ketchup for some but, as expected, it was a hit with the majority at the table. Both contenders for the clean plate club.

The dumplings were not what we expected, though, asthe menu did not mention what was inside the pastry. They did tell us that it would be stuffed with beef — however, the taste was far from it — but the dipping sauce made it go down.

NOTES- The surrounding area can be off-putting for some and the prices per dish range from EGP 150-300 but it’s good value for money as the portions compensate for it. As a bonus, Egyptian nationals get 10% off on the weekend.
