Glad you found my blog and hope you will continue to do so!<BR/><BR/>You should definitely give Woktastic a try and if you like what you eat, why not try the fantastic sushi school.

Now it's just like anywhere else, in any other city, with its Pizza Express and Cafe Rouge and Nandos. <BR/>Birmingham has such diverse cultures but I feel not enough is done to celebrate this. Chinatown, for example, looks faded, and more could be made of our Balti Triangle in making it a real food Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564712224280159335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456801569527195794.post-50623541478144289552009-01-26T07:28:00.000-08:002009-01-26T07:28:00.000-08:00Pretty much ditto with the Mailbox.

It started out aiming for the high end and now it has Nando's, Zizzi, Ha Ha Bar & Grill, Pizza Express etc. The Council keeps talking about its Big City Plan, but they just don't get the fact that a proper food culture isn't generated by committee - it happens spontaneously.Mrs Woffingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419274420587441386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456801569527195794.post-7155729167046058942009-01-26T06:13:00.000-08:002009-01-26T06:13:00.000-08:00Too true Mrs W.

We have far too many chain restaurants in our city centre, which are fine, but only when they are alongside plenty of restaurants unique to Birmingham. It seems especially difficult for infant businesses to get a foot on the ladder. I remember reading a story in the Birmingham Mail about a man trying to set up a restaurant on Broad Street but the rates were astronomical - making Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564712224280159335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456801569527195794.post-76906197817087936672009-01-26T03:59:00.000-08:002009-01-26T03:59:00.000-08:00We pitched up pretty late one night last year and ...We pitched up pretty late one night last year and the owner recognised us and gave us a two-for-one offer on sushi. I'm glad he's succeeding with the business because Birmingham desperately needs more middle-range places that understand the concept of fresh, quality food.Mrs Woffingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419274420587441386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456801569527195794.post-35107937446504343322009-01-26T03:28:00.000-08:002009-01-26T03:28:00.000-08:00I agree Mrs W.

As I tucked into my soba noodles, I said that I thought it was miles better than Wagamamas, seemed much fresher somehow and the quality of ingredients better!<BR/><BR/>The all-you-can-eat offer is superb. People were literally piling up their empty bowls quicker than staff could collect them. Definitely worth the trip. Think the offer is on until Saturday!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564712224280159335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456801569527195794.post-58284160834171323712009-01-26T03:07:00.001-08:002009-01-26T03:07:00.001-08:00That sounds really good Emily, I will make a point...That sounds really good Emily, I will make a point of going and eating there.

The Thai-fusion dishes are my favourite, but then I do have quite a high tolerance for chilli.
