Gold Mine - London

So many people had told me about the roast duck at gold mine. I have eaten in this against all 7 10 days at midday and at the end of my standard picks for Thai or Spanish foods most of the time so that I decided this time to eat the brat ente in gold mine and check what the fuss was all. Oh, my! this duck was beautiful! the fat melt in the mouth was like a nice piece of pork I never tasted dee fat so, at the same time the skin was crispy and the meat is so tender. my favorite meat is pork, but the grilled pork (also good) did not hold a candle to this roast! I chose the singapur vermicelli nudel to go with my meal. they were exactly what I wanted really thin fine noodles, fried street eating style and just perfect with the fat of this perfect escape. all 3 dishes for 22€. I have to take the family here to try this one. I had luck at 2:30 o'clock not to mutate any waiting queue, but the restaurant was quite full. I have to say, however, that this is in the line it would be worth for this roast. only the duck one side of noodles or rice would be perfect.

Would advice to make booking before arriving. Long queue, full of people, tight spaces. Nevertheless, great service, good food. Would come back again.

The race is on to find the most tasty roast duck in London. Rumor has it the chefs from Four Seasons moved to Goldmine. One of the authentic Chinese Hong Kong restaurants, along Bayswater. It is popular amongst the Chinese community, specializing succulent BBQ juicy meats hanging by the shop window ready for you to be butchered on your plate.

Ordering my favourite dish of three BBQ meat, and rice, there’s the usual choice of a peking roast duck, soy chicken, crispy belly pork and BBQ pork. It’s a simple dish with tons of meat, topped on steamed rice with a sweet sauce poured over. Peking duck beautifully done, fragrant, tender meat with a thin crisp skin. Char siu soaked up the sticky sweet savory flavours. Underneath, a bed of steamed vegetables seem like a standard thing.

So on one of the coldest days of the year so far, we decided to go to a prosperous restaurant to warm our tummies and wallets. As you may know, Chinese people are very superstitious and place great import on good omens. Although the name of the place is Gold Mine, we did not manage to fill ourselves with the usual riches associated with the name (ie gold, money) but instead managed to gorge ourselves on more savory delights.
