Eden restaurant in Harpenden is a modern Oriental restaurant that offers a Far Eastern menu at lunchtime, then focuses on Chinese food by night. For lunch, try the noodle-rich Malaysian laksa followed by a zingy Thai green chicken curry. In the evening, the food ranges from Peking and Szechwan to Cantonese. Start with sautéed king prawns with garlic and chilli or aromatic lamb with plum sauce, then try the steamed sea bass or Szechwan double-cooked pork, with some veg in satay sauce on the side. Vegetarians are well looked after, to the point of having their own set menu. And this being Eden, you shouldn?t leave without a bite of the (toffee) apple. (from toptable.co.uk)
