When I stumbled upon Meadowood I really thought I was stumbling upon a little gem of a place. When I had time to grab something before a movie at the filmhouse, I realized that many others have also discovered this place! It was lunch and a busy one at that. The small place was completely packed out and the staff were running about in the tiny space that allowed it. The menu is half bubble teas, milk and plain, with or without pearls. It was the first time I have seen a place in Edinburgh serving these Taiwanese(?) drinks. I was tempted before I saw the price! Having spent time in Taiwan and regularly treating myself to one of these drinks I rarely paid over 50p. Here the drinks are all priced over 2.50! Even for just soy milk! Next time I will splurge.
The rest of the menu is dim sum, dumplings mostly, a selection of soups, with noodles and without, and bento type boxes. I went for the mixed dim sum selection which were just a vartiety of dumplings - 10 in all. They were all meat but I am not sure this is always the case as they do have veggie dumplings. The dumplings were fresh that I amsure of but were a little lacking in flavour or this may be because I had to scarf them all down before I ran to the movie. They were moist and there was a selecton and came with dumpling sauce, the brown kind, and sauce the spicy kind and this sauce was also a bit sweet, more like the thai style sweet chilli sauce.
Think I will visit with friends in tow next time to try some of the soups and give the dumplings more time. And I will go for the milk tea.

Where do I begin? I adore the Meadowwood! I love its informal, cafe style and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is varied, with a number of Taiwanese dishes nestled in amongst Thai and Chinese offerings. The fried chicken soup noodles are my firm favourite - and my inclusion of this fact is probably going to give the game away as to my not-so-secret identity if the staff ever read this! ;)
The dim sum are fantastic: moist little parcels of heaven served in bamboo steamers. The spring rolls are crisp and crunchy. The different varieties of soups, noodle and rice meals are tasty and healthy - I always feel very virtuous having dined here! A special mention has to go to the HUGE juice and smoothie menu: these are amazing. I have recently become addicted to soya milk and pearl milk tea, all thanks to the Meadowwood cafe. :)
