Remember the restaurant that brought Cantonese cuisine to Bradford?
BRADFORD diners were offered a taste of 'authentic Cantonese cuisine' when new restaurant Mayflower opened on Great Horton Road in February 1980.
The T&A reported: 'The restaurant was opened by the Lau family, who have been in the business in Bradford since 1957. The opening was quite a colourful affair since it was planned to coincide with the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Mr Simon Lau and other chefs were preparing sauces for dishes, and final touches were put to the restaurant itself which includes items of decoration and cooking utensils from China, acquired during a three-month visit to Hong Kong last year.
Among the appetisers are such dishes as stuff crab claw and deep fried spring roll, while especially popular items include king prawn wrapped in steamed wheaty pastry and siu my which is a steamed blend of pork and vegetable.
The Lau family also run a Chinese takeaway shop in Eccleshill and another in Otley Road.'
