Little Yang Sing

Cantonese and contemporary, Little Yang Sing has a relaxed feel in otherwise bustling Chinatown. It’s popular for its dim sum, and offers much for the plant-based palate along with a proper wine list. .

Dim sum wise, there’s plenty of choice, both fried and steamed. Classics include crispy pork spring roll, fried prawn won ton and fish croquettes or every kind of dumpling, mini pork buns and, of course, glutinous rice parcel with dried shrimp.

Can’t decide? With a set five pieces each, there’s both a meat platter and a vegetarian platter. We’re in for the latter, if only for the steamed crystal sachet and spring onion bauble…

Prefer to dodge the dumplings? Then there’s no lack of decisions to be made off the list of appetisers, from Peking-style spare ribs and soft shell crab to sesame prawn toasts and crispy duck pancakes. Mains include casseroles and chow mein, and there’s a whole three pages devoted to vegetarian and vegan dishes (with more beancurd, soya and tofu than you can shake a stick at).

We doubt you’ll need pudding, but alongside the draught and bottled beers, including authentic Chang beer, the new and old world wines, and the green tea, there is also a range of spirits to round off your meal and help you digest.
