SIDEPLATE @ Dreams

We went there for dinner on the Chinese mid-autumn festival day. There were 11 of us and we asked the owner to cook special Cantonese food for us. The food was fresh, authentic and fresh. All the dishes are delicious. The salt and pepper squid was my favourite. It was the best Chinese meal I have had in London !

Our visit to Sweet Dreams Café was incredible! They offer a wide variety of authentic Chinese and Cantonese dishes. The atmosphere is warm, quiet, and truly feels like home. We started with drinks from their café (Aroma Lab). We had a Mocha, Matcha Latte, and Hot Chocolate—and I can honestly say they were some of the best we've ever had! But the best part was the food. The portions are huge, the prices are shockingly affordable, and the flavors were amazing. Here’s what we ordered: Traditional Baked Salt Chicken – Marinated for a full day. Incredibly tender, soft, and packed with flavor! Steamed Lotus Rice – Richly marinated with a beautifully soft texture. Beef Fried Noodles – Absolutely delicious and very satisfying. Everything is handmade and organically marinated, with no artificial flavors. The service was exceptional—very welcoming and generous. They even surprised us with a free dish of stir-fried greens! Overall, Sweet Dreams Café is one of the best dining experiences we've had. Highly recommended!!

Not your standard Chinese takeaway as it serenades as a cafe during the day serving great coffee. Its quirky interior, quality food and friendly service makes this place stand out. My all time favourite is the chicken soup dumplings. Although tonight I tried the sweet and sour chicken which was also excellent. Made from scratch - everything is truly homemade with fresh, distinct flavours. Lucky to have this little gem around the corner.

Authentic Chinese dishes at good price! Love the taste ! The flavour is just right and not salty like a lot of other Chinese restaurants. Highly recommended! Friendly owners 😊
