Anyone for sea snail?

I popped to Wing Wah in Nechells for a family meal last night and we ordered the usual suspects - duck in pancakes, crisp belly pork, chilli beef, prawns with garlic and ginger.

The restaurant's new manager Andy Liu, who's worked at some top places in London, spotted our conservative choices and got talking about new dishes he's planning to introduce.

He was keen for us to sample at least one and got the chef to prepare it.

The year of the rat - which doesn't actually scurry to life until next week - arrived early at the reliable Wing Wah restaurant in Nechells, where Wing Yip, charming owner of the Oriental food chain that bears his name, held his annual Chinese New Year lunch.
He and his sons hosted a fabulous meal for representatives of this area's media. Excellent dim sum was followed by a various main courses, best of which was a whole flatfish served with a tangy mango sauce. Beats the usual sandwich that I eat at my computer screen before dashing out to the bookies.
I've lunched out twice this week now. It's something I could get used to...once I get a pair of trousers with an elasticated waistband.
