Chung-tastic eatery
It is, in its own way, the eternal question – (or at least it would be if the eternal question was based entirely on the theme of buffet-style Chinese restaurants located in the City of Dundee): should we go to Jimmy Chung’s or The City Harbour?
My Scottish relatives would opt for the latter mainly because The City Harbour has abundant car-parking spaces available right next to it. My other relatives, the ones of Chinese descent, go for Jimmy Chung’s every time, because although you can’t easily park right outside, or even particularly near it, the food generally tends to be quite a lot better.
These days it’s probably racist in some way to say so, but if you’re in Britain and you see a Chinese restaurant in which Chinese people are happily paying to eat, odds are you’re onto a good thing. Jimmy Chung’s could well be such a restaurant. There is lots of food as it’s an all-you-can-eat, and it’s also pretty darn good. Personally I still hanker for the tasty deep-fried chunks intended for being lemon-sauce chicken – sublime, and something I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.
So, it has a respectable selection of Chinese-style starters and mains, and a dessert section catering for British tastes – there's cheesecake and gateaux, as well as the fruit, agar-jelly and sesame-coated deep-fried things that you get in Chinese restaurants usually. The restaurant is quite spacious and seems well-run. And the aquaria, as you enter, are particularly impressive. What more could you want, really?
