My wife and I ate at the Felix Yu Restaurant in Northampton last night...
My starter was:
"Seared carpaccio of beef with chilli, lime and olive oil, served with caviar"
- marks 5 out of 5 (5/5) - I liked it though it can't really be called a Chinese' dish.
My wife had "Wonton soup (Hong Kong style)" the Wonton meat was not very good so 2/5
Then the main courses
Stir-fried Singapore-style vermicelli - 4/5
Stir-fried mixed vegetables with cashew nuts in spicy cumin sauce - the cashew nuts were nice - 2/5
Monkfish (fillet) wok-grilled with porcini mushroom, garlic and parma ham - The fish wasn't off but it definately wasn't fresh and at £14.80 it should be - 1/5
Overall, a little overpriced and rather poor quality - not so bad that we sent any dishes back but we did mention the quality of the fish when they asked at the end of the meal if we had enjoyed it ...
The bill included a 10% service charge - they were quite lucky that we paid it!!! We would not go back.
Sadly it seems to be another restaurant where the reputation and press coverage is much better than what is on the plate...
