Jing Jing/Hesheng

Address:

70 Main Rd
7975 Cape Town, South Africa

NileGuide Expert tip:

Try the authentic leek buns and red bean paste buns, but watch out for the tongue burning fillings!

Description:

Easily overlooked, Hesheng is the place to eat in Cape Town if you like real Chinese food with no pretenses.  At this little restaurant (4 tables), a waving porcelain cat, singing clock, overused chairs, and plastic tablecloths set the scene.  The Chinese menu is listed on strips of paper on the wall but for those who can't read or speak Mandarin, an English version is available.  The owners are natives of northeast China and the region's dishes- dumplings, leek buns, and soup noodles are their specialties.
