The "Asia" on Regent Street, Cambridge, UK
Following a recommendation by a colleague, I went to the Asia on Regent Street in Cambridge. They describe themselves as pan-Asian but I felt that there was a bit much emphasis on the indian subcontinent to be truely pan-asian.
The interior is “basic”, simplicity rules, and I had a nice table with a view on the convenience store on the opposite side of the street. I started with a glass of their favorite australian Sauvignon Blanc, the coriander crusted scallops and some prawns in oyster sauce batter. The main course was a Penang Beef with a bowl of plain rice. The sauce there was really excellent but the beef was of shoe-sole quality, really disappointing and incredibly hard to chew. The pistaccio Kulfi for desert was again very good.
While so far the service was quite good, I then did not manage to catch anyone’s attention to order a coffee for more then 15 min and then decided to leave. That kind of spoiled the otherwise quite nice experience. I’ll probably go again and give them a second chance. Overall a 4 on my scale from 0 to 10 for the food and also for the service.
