Hidden Dragon

Hunt down Hidden Dragon and you find a great little restaurant in Richmond's town centre. Focusing on Cantonese, Peking and Szechuan cuisine, it also throws in a few Thai and Malaysian dishes for good measure. The main seating area is calm and contemporary, but if you fancy singing for your supper there's a separate function room where you can karaoke the night away. Unleash your inner crouching tiger on the mixed 2-person starter plate of crispy seaweed, sesame prawn toast, vegetarian spring roll, satay beef and crispy smoked shredded chicken. It's a good job Chinese food is made for sharing: it means you can have the excellent beef fillet in Mandarin sauce and persuade someone else to have the Szechuan chilli chicken. On the same principle, order both apple and banana fritters - you don't want to miss out on either.
