.. at the end of an almost Moffatesque day of thrills, spills, cat diets, Seroxat scares, guns in Jerusalem, Gene Hunt feeling in his jeans and daggers at dawn with IF, perhaps i should mention having a really nice meal at Zen, the Japanese place on High Street. It's running a deal where for £14-95 you get unlimited freshly prepared starters - plus a main with rice or noodles. Bloody good value, as the starters include unlimited sushi (not my bag but tasted ok and Jordan was wowed by the buttery tuna), gyowza, all kinds of hot skewers, prawn and veggy tempura (huge and pan-hot), miso and other soups, prawn toast, et al. Way cut above such deals normally because everything as I say is freshly made, not cooling on a buffet table. My main was twice cooked duck, some soft and melting, some crispy fried - lovely with lightly steamed veg, tho I was v full of starters!. The place was empty at 6 but packed to rafters at 9 as we left with apparently the entire asian student population eating for the week. A good sign I would say :) Offer ends soon so check website!
