Pacific Plaza

[Prawncrackers]

Has anyone been yet? The last I read about this place was this blog here in early Dec 2009 . I'm in North London this weekend and wanted to pop into check out the Japanese pottery shop and bakery. But what I really want to know is whether to eat before hand or save myself for the food court. I say food court but if anyone fondly remembers the bustle of the old Oriental City food court then you will know what I mean when I say two stalls really won't cut mustard. You need at least four to create the illusion, maybe, one on each side! The Pacific Plaza website doesn't give much away either. I'm hoping that they succeed and recreate some of the buzz and quality of the old place.

Yes, I was there on Monday. I wrote it up here, and I have some photos on Flickr.

There are five units open in the food court at the moment — a Thai stall, two Japanese stalls (one specialising in takoyaki), a Chinese/roast meats/dim sum stall, and a Korean stall. I tried some of the dim sum, and it was not bad at all (siu mai and fried turnip cake good, king prawn cheung fun less good but still OK).
