London-based traditional Cantonese restaurant Three Uncles will open its largest venue in September. The new premises in Ealing will be the group’s fifth branch in London.
The 50-cover, 1,450-square-foot space will feature an open-plan, glass-fronted dining room and an outdoor terrace. And a new concept will be launched exclusively there, the “18 districts”.
Mo Kwok (Uncle Mo) said, “Our 18-district menu concept is our opportunity to serve a collection of Hong Kong’s favorite dishes to our customers, from the traditional, like salted duck eggs, to the more modern, like our oven-baked pork cutlet on rice We will offer these dishes for a limited time and if the concept is well received by Ealing we will introduce this to our other locations.”
The opening menu will include chee cheong fun served with sesame sauce, sweet soy and chilli, prawn toast and curry beef brisket on rice. There will also be oven-baked pork chop on rice, salted duck eggs, mango pudding and deep-fried custard buns.
Three Uncles – which also has restaurants in Brixton Village, Liverpool Street, Camden Lock and St Paul’s – will add a third beer to its range, unique to the Ealing site. It will join the restaurant’s Triple 8 Lager and Session IPA, all designed to pair with the sweet-savory-spicy flavor profiles of Cantonese dishes.
Chong Yew (Uncle Lim) said: “We plan to grow slowly and carefully while maintaining quality with the aim of opening two to three stores annually with an ultimate target of ten locations. We also hope to beat our record week of 1,100 ducks sold in a week on all websites.”
And all the current venues seem to be very popular with customers, including Liverpool Street which has four stars on TripAdvisor. “I grew up in Hong Kong and this is one of the most authentic Cantonese style steakhouses in the UK.
