    Hot Wok Trading - Fried rice and noodles with beansprouts

    This was an expensive albeit very good Chinese fast food takeaway under a mile from our hotel, in…read morePorth, Newquay. We paid over £34 for two starters - seaweed (which is deep fried cabbage fried with salt and pepper) with cashew nuts added and a chicken satay with delicious peanut sauce and two mains, one with a large fried rice, one with noodles and beansprouts. The mains were sweet & sour chicken and a salted chilli king prawn. We had rolled in here with a sort of plan in mind expecting to order, pay and promptly return to our hotel with food, but we were told it would be at least an hour given the amount of orders already backed up. The place has almost zero parking around it; parking in many parts of England is very difficult and finding parking you don't have to pay a few pounds an hour for - even in the many and growing number of run down 3rd world parts - is also really challenging. Don't expect anything for your money to park having already paid colossal tax for your fuel, and having paid for an annual road tax permit to drive on a public road as well as many hundreds of pounds to insure your vehicles annually. Anyway we put our order in, paid by credit card and the bloke behind the counter took my mobile number to ring me to come and get my order when ready. We drove back to the hotel and the utterly charming staff set up a table for us in their breakfast dining room with cutlery and water. We got drinks from their bar. Acter about 50 minutes passed I drove back to get our food as I'd ordered prawns that would be battered, so I didn't want to wait for a call to leave and to stop them becoming too soggy. It turned out that they hadn't even started our order. So the front counter American/English bloke began peeping through the door to the kitchen, gently haranguing the oriental cook to get on with our food, and let's say it was an entertaining exchange that I enjoyed. 10 minutes of craic later our food was served up with muttering from the kitchen. As I said, all the food was very tasty but prices are becoming unreasonable for what is junk fast food but they've no shortage of customers. The American/English bloke (it's a long story) chucked in free prawn crackers and these were up market quality crackers rather than the rubbish ones mostly served where we live. My prawns tasted just fine. I can't imagine us ever returning to Cornwall and think we'll stick with Portugal, Italy or Spain as our go to places.
