The Orient is the unbelievably massive eating, dining and going-out area of the Trafford Centre…read more There are loads and loads of restaurants, everything from Pizza Express to pubs and clubs. The whole area, which spreads out over two floors and numerous little miniature streets, offers cuisine from all over the globe. But be warned - this means places like Franki and Benny's rather than independent restaurants. There is also a huge multiplex cinema here, showing all the latest blockbusters. The Orient, keeping close with its name, is decked out as a massive cruise liner that basically quite weird. Apparently, during the day the roof is all cloudy and sky-like, but then at night the roof takes on the appearance of the night sky. Wow. Like everything with the Trafford Centre, The Orient is tackily extravagant, and massive.

We decided on Asian food and found ourselves at Wokooshii. The staff were lovely and attentive, the actual venue is very well decorated and pretty huge inside. I would actually give the food a 2.5 as the edamame beans weren't seasoned and the sizzling udon dishes were too salty. I wouldn't go back personally given the choice on offer at the Trafford centre. It's always packed so they must be doing something right, it just didn't do it for me. They add a 10% tip on to the bill as a rule which annoyed me a bit as the food wasn't great but we did the British thing and smiled and paid! Then moaned after :) They part cook the sizzling udon at your table which is fun, I'm glad we tried it.

It was nice to see Steamed Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf on the menu - I just find food wrapped in leaves fun! Based on other reviews, the fact that dim sum is this small chain's speciality and the general madness of trying some Thai style in a Chinese restaurant, I'd suggest you stick to the dim sum here, there's plenty to get a decent meal. Having said that, bf tried a chicken dish (I think the one with cashew nuts) and really enjoyed it. I would say overall this would be the best place to eat in the Trafford Centre, although the Korean restaurant Wokooshii nearby is good too (probably not coincidentally, as it's owned by the same family).

Oh Rana for once in your life.. WILL YOU PLEASE for the love of God refrain from giving full…read moremarks..for once!!!!! Nay I say, for what shall be shall be. On a mothering Sunday I taketh the mother bear for an evening of dining and .... well, more dining. The much visited haunts such as Rice and Tampopo were brimming full of folk passionately munching away on their spoils, which led us to a conundrum. Where to go, where to go? My last visit to Yang Sing involved not full on consumption but a mere passive eating experience when I turned up late for a meeting (resulting in finger dipping and friendly fire on plates of accommodating dinner acquaintances) So... sensing a weakness in the queue length we parked ourselves outside the aesthetically pleasing exterior. The aromas that magic carpeted their way from the kitchen unto our nostrils did excite the rumble in the stomach jungle much, after we'd convincingly devoured the menu with our eyes. After a 15 minute wait we were seated by the most polite gentleman ever to walk the face of Yang sing Cathay. Only a few seconds elapsed before I began waving impatiently at the nearest waiter... (My stomach now staging a full on rap battle in sound effects) The food here was arguably the best Eastern restaurant food I have consumed.... wait for it.....*Gathers American accent momentum* Period!!!! I'm not sure whether it was the empty stomach talking or what not, but the four mains we ordered between us were healthy in proportion and delicious in content(tion?). The Beef fried rice I had were rich in texture yet not too oily.... El Madre went Chicken Kung Po on us whilst the other two mains were: shredded fillet steak with spicy yellow bean sauce and the Taiwenese sizzling chicken.... The Kung Po chicken was tender and very loving towards my tastebuds... The sizzling Taiwanese chicken thighs clothed nicely in egg fried rice went down a treat also.... However the show stealer was most definately the Shredded fillet steak... I cannot remember all the ingredients (there were red peppers) that ignited the tonguelar sensory glands ..in fact I cannot remember much aside from the intense culinary pleasure of this dish... I cannot recommend highly enough... With Mains ranging from £9-£13 you're looking at a dinner for two with drinks @ anything between £30-50 depending on the hunger scale you're operating at.. which isn't bad considering the high quality of food on offer. Trafford Centre despite the quantity of eatery options is in fact not so varied in terms of what is on offer. Yang Sing Cathay however has at least provided another option for me aside from Tampopo, Rice and the ever present and reliable Nandos. So indulge your yin and YANG & SING and purrr like a CAT wHAYyyyyyyyy (now put the capital letters together and you've solved the puzzle for where you should dine next time you're in Trafford. Simples)

They have a good range of drinks as well. In fact, they seem to have expanded their range every time I go. It is very clean and the staff are very friendly. Please don't get the idea that this is just good for vegetarians that is far from the truth.

For those that happen to be stuck in the Trafford Centre on a marathon shopping exhibition with their family or beloved however, Pizza Express offers a moment of respite. Admittedly, if there's a pause between songs on the stereo you can still hear the faint sound of thousands of people marching to the consumer drum but otherwise, Pizza Express is a great place to unwind, eat and recharge your batteries. Like the other city centres branches, the menu is extensive with a long list of meat and vegetarian pizzas with every topping you'd imagine from mozzarella, parma ham and pepperoni to capers, olives, asparagus, artichokes and courgettes. One of my favourites is the Padana - which is goats cheese, spinach and caramelised onions on a thin and crispy base. My advice? Stay here until the shops have closed and the masses have driven home. It'll make your escape / exit much more relaxed.
