Tried out the much lauded Dragon Castle yesterday in celebration of our 3-year engagement day. It's in a most insalubrious blue building on the Walworth Road, but no matter, because once inside you can't see where you are. The decor is contemporary Chinese, without the Chineseness washed out of it, so still gold tablecloths and big Chinese good luck phrases everywhere coupled with shiny grey floors and lots of wood. Looks a bit like a set out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
We had dim sum. And it was good. All the bog standard stuff - siu mai, har gau etc plus tripe and sago/yam dessert for me and turnip cake for BB. They didn't laugh at my Chinese, the service was quick and efficient and it was pretty cheap. All very auspicious and we will, no doubt, be back for the hotpot dishes that have been written about by Giles Coren and Jay Rayner of the broadsheets. Unfortunately, there was definitely MSG in the tripe, so I felt a bit funny afterwards which is a shame as it was indeed mightily enhanced in the taste department.

3 years! Come on, people. If you don't get a move on, Curly's going to be old enough to insist on being a bridesmaid and sabotage your big day.
But Curly should definitely be a bridesmaid methinks. So we should probably wait a bit longer. Hee, hee.
