Me Kong Restaurant

You'll find yourself descending into St Lawrence House on Abbey Square—that corner of town that's quietly become rather good for eating out. Me Kong does the unglamorous stuff brilliantly: steamed dumplings with visible prawn through the skin, clay pot rice that arrives genuinely bubbling, noodle dishes that don't mess about with unnecessary flourishes. It's the kind of place where the Cantonese families from town eat, which tells you everything. Concrete floors, functional tables, zero pretension. You come here because the food is honest and properly executed, not for Instagram credentials.
