Went to see Grease with Tracy and grandma last night at the Empire Theatre. It was our Christmas present to grandma for her first ever trip to the theatre. We went to Tai Pan for dinner first - Not been here for years. They were shut for a bit due to hygiene and reopened.
We got 2 main dishes - seafood udon noodles - it was SO salty. I was thirsty all night and the portion was tiny. 3 meat roast (duck, crispy pork & char siu) on the bone with rice - with giant bits of Chinese leaf
4 dim sum - har gau, crispy prawn parcels with mayonnaise, chicken feet and got char siu churn fan (not pictured) - it was really dry and cold like it'd been left out for ages.
Food wasn't great and came to just under £55. Mei Mei is definitely better and where I've been going the only thing is there's no parking as it's in central town.
After we parked outside the library to go to the Empire.
Tracy asked these random Asian guys to take our photo - this has been cropped so much as it was mainly just sky!
Our seats were so good - so central
It was the first night so there was some teething issues - sound wasn't great on some of the cast as their mic were too loud and the props department weren't having a good time! It was good they did all the main well known songs but was weird because the guys weren't called the T-Birds.
Grandma thought it finished when it was the interval. Think she was ready to go home and said it was too loud! She's so hard to buy for as she doesn't want or need anything and has no hobbies - so think we just have to get her out the house to try different things.
