I try Leicester's Imperial Chinese restaurant - and it fails the ultimate test

1 week ago | leicestermercury.co.uk | Tom Mack

As someone who generally orders more takeaway food than a human being can possibly eat in one sitting, the acid test for me, when judging a meal, is how tempted I feel to drag my bloated body to the kitchen for one more taste.
