Grubstreet recommendations

The New World on [Gerrard Place]? in Chinatown is good for dim sum.

Golden Harvest, WC2H 7BE, also in Chinatown, is pretty good, particularly for vegans.

Wong Kei, W1D 6PX is also recommended.

"The Garden" is a bakery and restaurant at 51 Charing Cross Road. The bakery does really, really nice spring onion bread for 60p -- it's in the case under the counter. It's a slightly sweet yeast bread with chopped spring onions and boiled eggs in, enough for a light lunch.

Hoo Hing is a large Chinese cash and carry that has an online store as well as five locations in various industrial estates around London. Probably most useful to people with cars though.
