Fung Lok, Liverpool

Penny Lane, situated in the south of the city is a prime attraction for visiting Beatles fans. Just a short walk away visitors can find a small restaurant that has recently changed hands and now serves an adventurous menu of South Eastern Asian delicacies. Starters such pureed prawns on sugar cane, garnished with crisp, salty seaweed are certain to whet the appetite. Follow that with a Vietnamese-style battered chicken in chilli and garlic with crunchy vegetables and you have a meal that will be long remembered. Most dishes are accompanied with small saucers of exceptionally hot and spicy sauces, which should not be ignored as they complement the food particularly well. A combination of great food, perfect service and very attractive prices makes this a restaurant that deserves a recommendation.
