It all looks delicious! I recall neighbours of ours treating me to a meal out at the first Chinese restaurant that opened in Surrey in the very early 1960s where we lived at the time, as a thank you for babysitting their daughter, but apart from being puzzled by all the different dishes, I had to have it explained that they were for us all to share, and that we could have a little bit from each one on our plate. Also good that all these women here have had the opportunity to mix in public – and earn money – although I respect that some cultures are the very opposite of what my own has been.

I’ve added this kitchen to my list of places I’d like to eat at in London, thanks for telling us about it.
