If you cast your minds back just a couple of weeks, Manchester was basking in balmy 19C temperatures and it felt, just for a brief minute, that perhaps spring had really sprung. And just like that a cold snap hit and we were left feeling utterly foolish.
As I soon learnt, there’s a term for that - fool’s spring, when warmer weather proceeds a further snap before spring properly gets underway. So, as normal service resumed this past week, and the sun turned to that particularly potent Manchester rain, I went in search of some light relief, an antidote of sorts.
I’m happy to say I found it perched at the top of Stockport’s Lower Hillgate. Owned by the same people behind the hugely popular Cambodian restaurant Kambuja in Marple, The Mekong Cat is inspired by the countries the Mekong River runs through.
