Chinese Food at the Phoenix, Histon

This is one of my favourite restaurants, so much so that when I took the pictures of the busway, I included a picture.

Phoenix Chinese Restaurant, Histon

I went last night and had an excellent meal.

As a coeliac I sometimes fear restaurants, as I’m not sure about how things are cooked.  The waiter explained that most dishes are cooked with potato flour, which surprised me and that soy sauce was a problem.

For a starter, I had crispy lamb wrapped in a lettuce leaf.  Note that lettuce leaves are a great alternative to pancakes and totally gluten-free.

I followed it with beef and lemon chicken.  That incidentally uses custard powder, which I wasn’t sure about, but I have had no reaction today.

So if you’re travelling down the A14, visit the Phoenix, which is about two kilometres from the road on the B1049 going north.
