Their Hot & Sour Soup and Sweet & Sour dishes (whilst sounding run of the mill) were a cut above any others served elsewhere. The restaurant part was definitely trapped in a time-warp last time I was in (about 2008). Not sure what's there now as I rarely get up Perth Road.Mountain Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187747329586090378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-23686274119781281522016-08-23T01:25:52.423-07:002016-08-23T01:25:52.423-07:00The "UGs" as "we" ( a hefty co...The "UGs" as "we" ( a hefty contingent of the Harris Academy seniors!) nicknamed it. We regularly descended on this upstairs downstairs restaurant/disco on many a Saturday evening in late '77 & through into 1978. A right under age drinking/wenching/dancing spot for us lot. Great fun though. Anyone out there remember these Saturday nights? Waiting at the top of the stairs hoping to grab a vacant seat? Tiny dance floor that was packed to bursting every time 'Night Fever' hit the turntable? Cold beers & food were actually pretty good and looking at the prices in 1974 , still must've been pretty reasonable 3 years on. C'mon.... there must still be many of you young at hearts out there that can say I was there!! ha ha bestest to all that made these nights a right good laugh! ;) Roddy KempAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
