Mr Ji | Gluten Free Taiwanese Food | London - Kimi Eats Gluten Free

Review analysis
food   menu   drinks  

Meaning it’s no ‘inferior’ gluten free version, simply how the food is supposed to be made.

And the good news is that following a great and unexpected response from the gluten free crowd, Mr Ji are looking into making the menu 100% gluten free.

The food is tasty and unique, especially compared to the usual gluten free offerings.

We shared the sweet potato chips, which come with a plum seasoning, and the standard fries, which come with the same choice of seasonings as the chicken: cayenne, curry, BBQ or powdered ketchup.

We were completely full by then, but if there’s gluten free doughnuts on the menu, having dessert is compulsory!

Inside London's First Authentic Uyghur Restaurant - Eater London

Review analysis
menu   location   food   staff   value  

Uyghur food is little known in Britain, but hugely popular in northern China for its sizzling, cumin-scented kebabs, crusty nan breads and hand-pulled noodles.

In England, Yadikar, who speaks Uyghur, Mandarin Chinese, Turkish, and English, spent several years at home raising their three children before the couple moved to London so she could fulfil her dream of opening a genuine Uyghur restaurant.

The Etles menu is short but features some of the greatest hits of Uyghur cooking, including a magnificent version of ‘big plate chicken’ and gorgeous hand-made noodles and a particularly lovely ququre (wonton) soup.

Mukaddes Yadikar trained her husband Ablikim Rahman to cook the wokked dishes All noodles are handmade and hand-pulled by Yadikar at Etles There is another, more extensive menu that has frustratingly been left on the shelf, but some regular customers seem to order from it anyway, which is why it’s worth keeping an eye on what’s going out under your nose to other tables.

What to order The short menu includes some crowd-pleasing Chinese dishes such as Gong Bao chicken and Mapo tofu, but for those looking to eat Uyghur food, these are the highlights: Da pan ji (‘big plate chicken’).

​Mr Ji's ​Taiwanese fried chicken pops up on Camden Parkway ...

Mr Ji, a Taiwanese-inspired fried chicken restaurant is popping up for five weeks in Camden, and there'll be cayenne dips, ginger doughnuts and spiked teas to boot.

For starters, it'll be marinated in that glorious combo of chilli, chicken, ginger and five spice, then deep fried in a special Taiwanese coating.

There'll also be bitesized crispy fried chicken thighs, Mini Jis, to entice you, and a selection of powders for you to dip your chicken in/lick greedily off your fingers, including cayenne, curry and Mr Ji's Secret Mix.

For sides, there'll be sweet potato fries sprinkled with plum powder, plus hot and sour chicken soups, zesty mustard greens .

Apparently, it's not unusual to have cold herbal tea with your fried chicken in Taiwan, so there'll be various infusions on offer on the drinks menu, including jasmine with blood orange and hibiscus, or oolong, lemon and honey.

The pop-up has been founded by two friends who discovered this style of fried chicken while in Taiwan; they named the restaurant after their nickname for the man who introduced them to it.

It’s different to the fried chicken we’re used to in London because the meat is diced or butterflied (rather than left as whole breasts, legs or wings).

Wings are available too – Mr Ji’s Chicken Tips are seasoned with seven spice powder, plus your choice of flavourings (cayenne, ketchup, BBQ, curry, or Mr Ji’s secret mix) for splattering across tables, sucking from fingers and generally getting all over your face.

If you don’t want fried chicken (we imagine that does happen to some people), then they’re serving a chicken soup made in a hot and sour style, plus there are sweet potato doughnuts for pudding.

Londoners love fried chicken but it’s been a while since we’ve seen the Taiwanese style (Good Friends Chicken – formerly BigBe – in Chinatown is the most recent opening of note).

Feeding frenzy: Britain's biggest restaurant opens for business | Life ...

By the time I'd paid £11.99 for the all-you-can-eat buffet at Britain's biggest restaurant, I was angry and tired.

"We think," says Cosmo's acting manager Leroy Ji, "if one person wants to try all our food it would take them about a week because of the sheer variety."

It is they who, in Europe's fattest country, are tasked with keeping smiles fixed and clearing away plates while customers, heedless of portion control and the management's reminder that you can "try as much OR AS LITTLE as you like" (my capitals), load, re-load and load again until the clearers are obliged to remind early-bird diners that it's time to leave.

Well, imagine that they knocked through to the OK tandoori restaurant next door, and that they knocked through to the ho-hum sushi bar, and that now and again a pizza delivery bike turned up with stuff that nobody had ordered.

Throw into this conservative melange of pan-Asian cuisine, a mystifyingly long queue and a coherent, if glumly corporate minimalist decor scheme and you have Cosmo.
