We love our Chinese takeaways from sunrise. We always order the same dish, chicken and vegetables with cashew nuts. We request ginger as an extra which is plentiful! It’s so delicious we don’t want to change. Their wontons are yum too. My husband loves his chips so we add some of those so he’s a happy Chappy
