Dim Sum, anyone?

As exams were just over at the end of January, my friends and I (a bunch of 16 people) went to Manchester for a day trip. Our main purpose – to eat. Haha. Ask my friends why they chose of all places Manchester.

This is where we had our lunch. Pacific restaurant at Chinatown in Manchester.

We ordered lots of dim sums. The 16 of us were divided to 2 tables.

Here’s what we had :

At the end of our meal, the bill summed up to GBP64, and each of us have to pay only GBP8 for a hearty dim sum lunch!

That’s quite cheap. (much more cheaper than in Nottingham). However, it can’t really be compared to the dim sums we get in Hong Kong and in Malaysia. But what to do when one’s here? Substitute is good enough!

By the way, this restaurant, Pacific in Chinatown has won several awards and all.

My ratings for the food : 3.5/5
