"The doctor will see you now and spoiler alert, he’s prescribing chilli oil. This little neighbourhood Chinese in New Cross specialises in nourishing your aching soul—or, realistically, soothing that lingering chest infection—in a tranquil, white-tiled space. The beef broth has a deep umami flavour, the noodles have plenty of bite, and the amount of meat and herbs point to a parental kind of generosity. We like to add just under a spoon of the doctor’s chilli oil in the name of health." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
