You know lunch is going to go well when you’ve already started to eat it in the street, chasing it down like a kebab at 3am. The plan was to eat sitting in the park in the sun, but it has simply not worked out like that so far.
This van on Oxford Road, with its back to All Saints Park by Manchester Metropolitan University, was once Couch Potato, judging by signs still up. You can still get a breakfast barm, and a burger for that matter, but the spuds have been replaced by bamboo steamers and flat-grilled noodles.
Having passed it plenty, and seen queues of foreign students and those clearly in the know about such things waiting for pancakes and boxes of steaming delight - and already said ‘I really have to go there’ - I went there.
