I recently changed jobs, and my new office - near Liverpool Street station - has placed me in walking distance of a plethora of new lunch spots.
I've always been a fan of
Ping Pong, but mealtimes there have tended to overrun - not ideal for a weekday lunch. So I was pleased to discover
Now, the new "fast food" addition to the Ping Pong family, just around the corner.
Chive and prawn, seafood, and har gau dumplings
With the same focus on good quality dim sum and tasty Asian dishes (rice and noodle bowls, hearty soups, and even a Chinese burger), Now is like Ping Pong, but quicker!
I ordered the seafood dim sum and a sticky seafood rice roll to go, for a healthy but satisfying lunch. The dim sum was very good - perfectly steamed, with a delicate flavour and no hint of sogginess - while the rice roll, pleasantly glutinous in its banana leaf wrapper, was flavoursome and filling. I'll be heading back soon to check out the rest of the
menu!
