"If you think that ordering chips in a restaurant that specialises in Chongqing noodles feels a little uncouth, then that’s fine. You’d be wrong of course, but it just means more lang-ya tu dou for the rest of us. Put it this way, outside of Mr. Potato Head solving the climate crisis, you won’t find a more impressive spud in London than these crinkle-cut potatoes. They’re part crunchy, part soggy, but always deep-fried, then wok-fried in Sichuan chilli oil. Find them at Noodle & Beer in Spitalfields." - jake missing, sinead cranna
