  Oriental Cuisine opened up just under a year ago now, so the novelty of it still hasn't worn off. It is part of a new development in Carfin/New Stevenston, and is one of a group of new shops in the retail park.
  
  The awesome thing about Oriental Cuisine is that it is part of a hybrid Indian/Chinese take away, both of which are in the same premises. If you have a fussy household, then you can order both together here, which is fantastic. However, the downside is that they both have separate delivery drivers, so if you rang for it to be delivered it wouldn't get sent at the same time, which is pretty weird. Makes no sense to me!
  
  The menu is pretty massive, too massive in my opinion! It is so hard to choose from the numerous chicken, beef, fish and veggie dishes that they have, prepared in a traditional Chinese or Malaysian style. A great deal to take advantage of is the aptly named 'happy meal', which is available at all times, and includes soup, an appetiser and a main meal with rice and small bag of prawn crackers for a fantastically purse friendly £8! I usually go for the chicken and sweetcorn soup, which is lovely, thick and gloopy, just like it should be. Then I get the classic spring rolls, which I'm normally not to keen on but the ones from here are yummy! Really crispy and packed with loads of Chinese veggies. The Kung Po chicken (hold the cashew nuts!) is awesome too. The bite sized pieces of chicken in light batter with sweet peppers and crunchy water chestnuts and baby corn is definitely one of Oriental Express' best dishes.
  
  Really good Chinese, and well worth a visit. Go for the Happy Meal for ultimate value for money!
