Authentic Chinese Food In The Heart Of Edinburgh
Written by Nigel Duncan
 Jian Wang came to Scotland to ensure that her son Yin received the best possible education, now the enterprising businesswomen is educating British people in real Chinese cooking.
Her Edinburgh factory produces 500,000 dumplings a month for sale in major retailers like Sainsbury’s and in Chinese supermarkets throughout Britain, and her restaurant has received widespread critical acclaim.

Well, there are over 2,000 members of their culinary club and it has been packed since November when the restaurant was featured on the smash hit TV show the F Word.
Jian’s authentic Chinese food is totally divorced from the norm. We loved it. You are best to go for the set meal which allows Chop Chop virgins to experiment.
The subtle pork and coriander dumplings were followed by fried prawn dumplings. Mix your own soy and vinegar sauce and add raw garlic and chillies to enhance the flavour.
The lamb with cumin seed plus cucumber salad and small shredded potato salad was sensational.
The meat slid off the small sweet and sour pork robs and the aubergines were divine.
Crispy Northern beef and the tender green beans and chilli were also brought to the table.
For dessert We finished with fruit dumplings. All I can say is wow!
