"New in town and bringing the flavours of the tropics to Manchester, Lazy Sundae wanted to introduce the city to some of the flavours of the Far East, shedding the typical mainstream ice cream flavours for the likes of Milo, Taro and Vietnamese coffee. The idea was to bridge the gap between the owner’s heritage and the mainstream market here in the UK, bringing a more accessible approach to popular Asian desserts such as Vietnamese ice cream floats, pineapple bao ice cream sandwiches and more. Lazy Sundae, 110 Tib St, M4 1LR."

"Where: Liverpool Street, on an unlikely crossroads in Salford. Best Dish: Pig’s trotters with chilli, onion, spring onion and sesame. This restaurant of many names (Mr Fresh? Peking Duck?) offers a no holds barred Chinese menu with a Beijing accent, filled with gizzards, feet, tongue, lungs, kidneys, trotters and stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Chinese is one of those foods that you never stop craving – so it’s pretty handy for us Salford students that the Peking Duck is only a 5 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) from the main campus. With unbeatable prices, the Peking Duck will satisfy for sure. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
