    Hi Gary. I was born in Romford and when I was courting my wife of 52 years this was our go to restaurant. I still remember chicken and mixed vegetables with fried rice was 10 bob. How times have changed. Haven’t been there since the early 80s . After your great review we have decided to make a long awaited return. 👍

      10 bob for the chicken and mixed vegetables is roughly equivalent to AUD$1.00. Gary's 80 quid total price for 3 dishes and one entre is roughly AUD$160.00. Very major inflationary expansion in 44 odd years.

    I can't believe you reviewed this, I used to work there on the weekends when I was back in school. Even now I still like to go there every now and then when I feel like having western chinese food. They're well known for their massive scollops at dinner service, honestly the biggest ones I've ever seen. I was told a story once that Gordon Ramsey tried to get those same scallops at billingsgate but the supplier didn't let him since blue orchid have been buying from them way before he was around.

    Hi again Gary! Another wonderful video that’s keeping me positive whilst I’m in this bloody place, I even tried using one of your catchphrases on one of the night nurses who comes into our private rooms every evening to offer us hot drinks and toast before bed. Anyway, I had just been watching one of your old videos so it was fresh in my mind and so I asked her for a mug of “Rosie Lee” and she legit looked like she was concerned I’d gone delirious or something and wanted to call for help 😅 then when I explained all I meant was Tea, we both laughed together for ages after. Which really brightened up today for me! As you always do, thanks Gary 😊

    Hi Gary! Chinese cuisine is one of my favourites & I love a good sizzler plate too. This was a little painful to watch as you ordered some of my favourite dishes & I could merely view! 😅 Everything looked incredibly tempting & your descriptions of the flavours was perfect. Blue Orchid are certainly maintaining high quality by the looks of it & it really is hard to top a family run restaurant who take pride in their food. I bet your son was busting to "give it a go" too & put the camera down on this one! ☺️ Not the cheapest meal, but not bad on price for 2 to 3 people. Thought it would be a 9 or 9.5 mark. Absolutely fantastic review as always Gary... Maybe too good, because now I know what I'll be looking at for dinner myself! 😀. Take care & I hope you both enjoy the rest of your weekend. 💙

    That duck looked good! It's one of those starters that can easily become a main course - and as you say, Gary, it has to be well cooked. Good to see it shredded for the table instead of needing a workout by the customer. All the dishes looked (and sounded) good, but I could really taste that beef sizzler!

As for Essex, to them that's a rural county that's nice to visit for a day out.
