A delicious after thought which we often find tucked away at the bottom of our takeaway bags or traditioanlly delivered to us after a meal, the humble fortune cookie is always enjoyed and the fortune inside frequently pondered.

Fortune cookies are a delicious combination of sesame seed oil, vanilla, sugar and flour with a mysterious note inside which beholds a Chinese phrase, fortune or even a list of lottery numbers if you’re lucky.

It’s common knowledge that the Chung Ying and Chung Ying Garden restaurants in Birmingham are dubbed the best Chinese restaurants in Birmingham; and to back up that theory, Chung Ying was entered in to the prestigious Tsingtao Legacy of Taste competition. More specifically, the Best Chinese Cuisine in Britain award.
